Precious Blood
Siya ang inialay ng Diyos bilang handog, upang sa pamamagitan ng kanyang dugo ay mapatawad ang kasalanan ng lahat ng sumasampalataya sa kanya. Ginawa ito ng Diyos upang patunayang siya’y matuwid. Noong unang panahon, nagtimpi siya at ipinagpaumanhin ang mga kasalanang nagawa ng mga tao.
Mga Taga-Roma 3:25
Inside the blood donation room, a curious donor asked the nurse, “Marami bang donors ngayon?” Sagot ng nurse, “Ngayon po marami, kaya masaya rin kami kasi mahirap maghanap ng donors at ng quality blood na kailangan talaga ng mga patient.” The nurse also shared some interesting facts about blood.
In summary, we can say that blood is costly. Blood is life.
If we ponder on the value of blood, we can even more appreciate why our sins were forgiven through the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
His blood shed on the cross is the only “quality” blood that can save us all. Maaaring tuwing Lenten season lang natin inaalala ang halaga nito, but it’s important to remember the value of Jesus’ blood.
The power of His blood made possible our redemption and restoration. Ganyan katindi ang pagmamahal at pagpapahalaga ng Panginoon sa atin.
His blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9), supplies us with eternal life (John 6:54), binds our hearts and wills to our Father (Ephesians 2:13), and encourages us to boldly pray and come to Him (Hebrews 10:13).
When all else fails, remember that you are bought by the precious blood of Jesus. You are His, and you can live and endure life’s challenges because His blood has saved you.
LET’S PRAY
Lord Jesus, You’re worthy of all glory and praise. I repent of my sins. Help me to live through the power of Your precious blood. Amen.
