Jesus’ Blood Cleanses Sin


A preacher was speaking from the text, “The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.”

Suddenly he was interrupted by an atheist who asked, “How can blood cleanse sin?”

For a moment the preacher was silent; then he countered, “How can water quench thirst?”

I do not know,” replied the infidel, “but I know that it does.”

“Neither do I know how the blood of Jesus cleanses sin,” answered the preacher, “but I know that it does.”

Heb 9:14 (CEV): "But Christ was sinless, and he offered himself as an eternal and spiritual sacrifice to God. That's why his blood is much more powerful and makes our consciences clear. Now we can serve the living God and no longer do things that lead to death."

"If not washed in Christ's blood and clothed in His righteousness, no heaven for you, no heaven for me."  - William Tiptaft.

Heb 10:4(ASV): "For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins."
