A Letter from Larry
FRIDAY
April 7, 2017
_____
Good Friday Morning Everyone:
Easter is a week away and the stories that I will be sharing
with you over the next week will be stories based around
Easter. Today's story is an interesting one that I hope you
get a chance to read and think about.
BLOOD
One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God
at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as
her Lord and Savior.
The young woman 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.
It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught
the eye and heart of the pastor's Son. The relationship grew and
they began to make wedding plans.
This is when the problems began.
You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman
with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son.
The church began to argue and fight about the matter.
So 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.
As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak.
He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be.
He began to speak and his statement was this:
"My fiancee's past is not what is on trial Here.
What you 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, does it wash away sin or not?"
The whole church began to weep as they realized that
they 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.
Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely
then it cannot cleanse us Completely. If that is the case, then we
are all in a lot of trouble..
What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer
the righteous to be moved.." Psalm 55:23
Much love to each of you today!
Larry
