The Blood of Christ.

"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God" (Hebrews 9:14 KJV)? The precious blood of Jesus has made a way for man to come near God the Father. The blood of bulls and goats was powerless. It could not purge the heart of man. When we were all far from Him, living a life by one's own strength, striving after the emptiness of the world, and trying to save ourselves from the wretchedness that was in our lives, helplessness and hopelessness was all we had to stand on. Death was a familiar friend to the mind. Heartache and heartbreak was what kept our hearts beating with emptiness in our lives. We tried every way to keep joy, whether it was through drugs, alcohol, sex, work, or family time. Nonetheless, there was still a void in the heart. There was a hunger for something better and greater. Nothing in this world can fulfill the void in our hearts. This place will only tie up one's heart, leaving them lost and seeking for more. However, in due time Christ was foreordained and came to set the captive free. He broke the chains that once held us down. His blood has purged away our sin. "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1 Peter 1:18, 19 KJV). We serve an awesome God! Give Him praise. God bless you. Amen
