Thought for Today: “Power in the Blood”

While the world possesses great weapons of mass destruction, their power to destroy doesn’t match God’s power to save, and that power is in the blood Jesus shed on the cross so that all who believe will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).

Nothing can redeem a person’s soul apart from the blood of Jesus.

“Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct 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)

God paid the ransom to save us, but the ransom price for our souls wasn’t paid through silver or gold, but Jesus, the Lamb of God, through His precious blood that was shed upon the cross, paid it.

Therefore, because Jesus has set us free from the bondage of sin, let us live in the freedom that was bought through His blood.
