The blood of Christ

“For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.” Romans 3:9

“For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.” Romans 6:10

“so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” Hebrews 9:28

“For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” Hebrews 10:14

“But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7

So I dropped my phone a few times recently. Thanks to my plastic phone case my phone is pretty secure without any marks or dents. But every time I dropped the phone, it was the case that would take the blow, leaving marks and dents. Finally, it was cracked.

I managed to purchase a new case for my phone online with a reasonable price and it arrived yesterday. As soon as I received it, I took off the old case and replaced it with the new one. After applying the new case, something caught my eye. There was a small speck of dust and it was really annoying. I had to get rid of it. I took off the case, wiped the phone and the case, and then applied the case. I thought I was happy now when I noticed another speck of dust! Oh, once again, repeated the process. The third time I looked, there was a very short hair (probably from me) that was in the case! Finally, I gave up.

Every couple days we vacuum the floor and clean the house. Couple hours after vacuuming you notice that there is more dust to clean! You realize that no matter how much you clean up the house there is always endless amounts of dust showing up. Thus, we have to clean the house regularly.

These experiences remind me of something. That we are all sinners and we cannot get rid of them. No matter how much we try to cleanup after ourselves on our own, we fall into sin once again. But the Bible tells us that there is a way. That is through Jesus Christ. The blood of Christ will cleanse us from our sins and bring us to salvation when we accept Him.
