And from Jesus Christ, ...the first begotten of the dead, ..... Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,...
Revelation 1:5
"The blood of Christ is the eternal antidote for sin.
The offensive character of sin is seen in what it cost the Son of God in humiliation, in suffering and death.
He is in the midst of the throne as a Lamb that hath been slain.
The preciousness of the Offering will be more fully realized as the blood-washed throng more fully comprehend how God has made a new and living way for the salvation of men, through the union of the human and the divine in Christ.
The greatest gift that God could bestow upon men was bestowed in the gift of His beloved Son."
