Good Friday reminds me of how much Jesus loves me. Today, Jesus was hung on a cross with his hands and feet nailed to the cross. They say it is the most excruciating pain anyone could ever feel. When I think about this day I think of what Jesus' Blood Can Do. I read the devotional below and wanted to share it:
Jesus’ shed blood redeems believers. This means that we are purchased from a life of slavery to sin. Furthermore, we receive forgiveness—the wrongs of our past, present, and future are totally washed away. For the rest of eternity, God views His children through the “veil” of Christ’s blood, which makes them pure and holy. Everyone who trusts in Jesus is declared no longer guilty and brought into relationship with God. This unalterable change in status from sinner to saint happens the moment a person receives Christ as Savior.
The final word, sanctified, describes the life-long maturing process that begins when a person trusts in the Savior. A saint is set apart from the rest of humanity for the purpose of making him Christ-like. Through discipleship, testing, and teaching, God “drains out” our old self and pumps the life of Jesus into our heart and life.
Hope you enjoyed this!
