THE POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

There are many criticisms of Christianity because they thought it was a “bloody religion,” with all its wars, its frequent mention of blood, and the bloody death of its founder, Jesus Christ.

What is it about blood, which we normally think of as grotesque, that has caused Christians in every generation to actually celebrate it? Here is just a sampling of the hymns and songs that have been written throughout the ages about the blood of Christ:

1. Nothing But the Blood
2. Are You Washed in the Blood?
3. Oh, the Blood of Jesus
4. Power In the Blood

WE GAIN BOLD ACCESS TO GOD IN WORSHIP AND PRAYER THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.

The Bible is clear that every person is alienated and separated from God because of our sin (Colossians 1:21). That means even the best of us are actually unable to approach God to offer worship or prayer. Because of our sins, we remain at a distance from Him.

But the Bible tells Christians to come boldly into God’s presence, “We have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus” (Hebrews 10:19).
If you are a Christian today, you can have boldness and confidence as you approach God with your prayers and your worship, because you are no longer far away from God, “Now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been made near by the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13).

It is because of the blood of Jesus Christ that we have the great privilege of pouring our hearts out to God (Psalm 62:8) casting our cares on Him (1 Peter 5:7) and praying any time and any place in the power of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18). Does your prayer life reflect the kind of relationship you have with God through the blood of His Son?

LET US PRAY
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, LET THE BLOOD OF JESUS SPEAK BLESSING INTO OUR LIVES IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
