Washing away past things? Nothing but the blood, sir—nothing but the blood!”
“When did you learn that?”
“Only last Sunday evening, but I’m too full to speak of it tonight, sir.”
Such was the short conversation that took place between a Christian and one of the railway employees who was washing the time-bills off the boards, ready to put fresh ones up for another month.
Has the love of God filled your heart with joy unspeakable? Such joy as this the world cannot give; it is found in Christ alone. He said to His disciples: “These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.”
“Without shedding of blood is no remission.”
“Nothing but the precious blood
Can give lasting peace with God,
For the heart so dark,
So stained with sin and guilt;
There is nothing can atone
But the blood of Christ alone,
Blood which Christ in love,
For guilty sinners spilt.
Trusting in that precious blood, There is perfect peace with God; Saved for glory, wondrous story, Saved through Jesus’ precious blood.”
