«For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.» - Matthew 26:28
There is none amongst us that is innocent. No one can claim that he does not deserve to go to Hell. What can deliver us from the punishment we deserve ? Only the blood of Jesus can miraculously save us from our well-deserved punishment.
One day I visited a high security prison in Africa, where I was slated to preach to prisoners on death row. They were all condemned to death. I was met at the sectional gate of that prison by a Bible-wielding gentleman who introduced himself as the leader of the prisoners' fellowship. He looked and sounded like any ordinary pastor of a church.
The fellowship leader escorted me to the meeting place filled with sincere looking men who were praying earnestly to God. Suddenly, I was gripped with a strong desire to set them free. I felt in my heart that these were good people who had repented of their mistakes. I thought of how difficult it would be to get a presidential pardon for the entire fellowship of murderers that had attended my service. They were in there for life and most of them would have to while away their time on earth in that prison.
That's when I realized how powerful the Blood of Jesus was, to set us free from our well-deserved punishment which is an eternity in Hell. We deserve to be bound in the devil's chains! We deserve to drown in our sins! Only something extremely powerful could work out deliverance for you and me. After all, we are clearly guilty and there is no argument about that. Indeed, the blood of Jesus is powerful and supernatural !
