Praise Focus-Blood of Jesus

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus comes from First John 1:7.

“If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”

Jesus died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins. That is where we can find true forgiveness.

In John Bunyan’s famous book Pilgrim’s Progress, the main character Christian is on a journey. He has a burden on his back, which is released when he comes to the cross of Christ. That is where our guilt is removed and where our peace with God begins. That is where the light of His grace shines on us and enables us to move forward in faith and in the freedom of His love.

The blood of Jesus, shed at the cross for our sins, is a reason to praise God in the Year of Focus.
