One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of Godat her
heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and
Savior. The young woman had had a very
rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the
change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member
of the church. She eventually became involved in the ministry,
teaching young children. After a while, this faithful young woman
caught the eye, and heart, of the
pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding
plans and this is when
the problems began. You see, about half of the church membership did
not think that a woman with a past such as hers was a suitable mate for
a pastor's son. The church began to argue and
fight about the matter. Then, they decided to have a meeting. As the
people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was
getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about
all the things being brought up about her past. The pastor's son could
not bear the pain it was causing his young, faithful wife-to-be. As she
began to cry, the pastor's son stood to
speak. "I challenge every one of you to think carefully about what is
happening here tonight. It really is NOT my fiancé's past that is on
trial here. What all of you actually are questioning is the ability
of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood
of Jesus on trial. So, what is your verdict? Does the blood of Christ
wash away sin?......or not?" Tears welled up in the eyes of every
Christian in the auditorium. The whole church began to weep as they
realized that they
really had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a
weapon against our brothers and sisters, or even against ourselves.
Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ. If the blood of Jesus could not cleanse the soul of every
single person, then all of us would be in a lot of trouble. As the old
hymn says, "What can wash away my sins? NOTHING, but the blood of
Jesus."
End of case!!!
