“If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (I Jn 1:7).
The blood of Jesus Christ has such a tremendous power that it can keep us always cleansed and spotless and pure as we walk in the light of the truth of the Word of God.
The story is told of a white flower growing in a coal-mining area. All the miners working there and all the plants growing there, were virtually covered with the black coal powder; but there was a little plant which had pure, spotless, white flowers. One visitor to the mine was amazed to see this. He took a pinch of coal powder and threw it on the flower. Lo, and behold, the coal powder just rolled off the flower and the flower remained spotlessly pure! Then the visitor, curious about the purity of the flower, touched the petals of the flower and found the secret! It had certain natural enamel on the petals that made the petals slippery and made all the dust or powder slip off them.
Dear reader, if God can create such pure white flowers and keep them intact in the dirtiest place, can’t He do the same with us, the crown of His creation? The precious blood of Jesus Christ, like the enamel on the petals of the flower, can so cover us that we can be spotless and pure to meet the Lord when He comes. Though many children of God sing about the power in the blood, unfortunately, very few realize the glorious and tremendous power it has.
