His Blood

I know I just posted... but both of these things have been on my mind to share. So I am! =)

We have often (well I know I have, since I grew up in a Sovereign Grace church!) heard people talk about Jesus dying for us. Heard people use the terms, His blood washed away our sins. Heard it in songs time and time again. But have you ever stopped to think about that? I think for people like me, who have grown up in the church all their lives, sometimes don't really stop to think about things such as this.
Yesterday, I was reading "When Sinners Say 'I Do'" since our church is going through it together. (Which is a great book! And I will post soon on what I think about that! haha) But in the first chapter Dave Harvey is talking about our sin, the gospel, and marriage (haha)... . And at one part he says, "There really is no end to the glories of the gospel, which is why we will spend eternity marveling that the Holy God would choose to crush his only Son for the sake of sinful man. The gospel explains our most obvious and basic problem - sin has separated us from God and from each other. Thus we are objects of God's wrath. A Christian understands the necessity of the cross; our sin was so bad it required blood, the blood of God, to take it away! Without the cross we are at war with God, and he is at war with us."
I have heard this a thousand times... over and over and over again! But for some reason reading that one paragraph... it made more since than any other time!!! WOW! I almost started crying when I read it.... My sin was sooooo bad it required blood. Christ's blood! I'm chocked up just typing it! HOW AMAZING!!!!!! =)
