There Is Power in the Blood

by Terry Wane Benton

Wonder working power! What does the blood Jesus shed on the cross really do for me? It works wonders on a sin-condemning conscience. It says Jesus was willing to pay my debt on condition of repentance and confession to those already baptized into Christ (Acts 8:21-22; I John 1:7-9). It works wonders in knowing that I can live and die forgiven without the weight of all my sins mounting up on my conscience until I am eternally ruined. There is power in the blood to release me from my condemned state. There is power in the blood to give me a sense of real worth.

When others have treated me as worthless to them, I can always recognize that someone loved me enough to die for me. I must be worth something. There is power in the blood to give me a mission with hope. Formerly, I was just wandering aimlessly with no direction, mission, or hope. But Jesus' blood gave me a direction, purpose, mission, and fantastic hope of eternal life. There is power, power, wonder-working power, in the precious blood of the Lamb.

You can and should take advantage of that powerful resource available to all who will hear the gospel.
