Bridgeview Church

Several years ago the Lord spoke to our pastor and gave him this passage of scripture. Not only do we believe our vision is to reach our region with the gospel of Jesus, but also that He has opened the door for us! We are humbled by His favor but also intent on acting in faith. We WILL go through this open door of opportunity.
 

This hymn of gratitude has been sung by saints for years. The response to this question is - NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS! Recently I’ve been contemplating our very first parent’s sin. Adam and Eve took the fruit which God said not to take. They immediately became aware of their nakedness and were embarrassed. They sought to cover themselves with leaves. That solution was their idea. God’s solution was far more costly. An innocent animal had to die in order for God to clothe Adam and Eve. It must have bothered our very first parents to see death for the first time. They had to be aware of their guilt and then on top of that an innocent creature was put to death for their benefit. I can only imagine the emotions that had to be processed. It’s not right for an innocent to die for the guilty … but IT IS MERCIFUL. God has graciously taught us what true love is all about. True love is displayed through supreme sacrifice. True love covers a multitude of sin. GOD IS LOVE and He has covered our sins once and for all through the blood of His Son. God put His innocent Son to death for our benefit. His blood covers us! The wonderful thing about Christ’s blood is this … God considers it Holy enough and pure enough to cover us forever.  During this season where we will celebrate Christ’s death and resurrection, may the Lord grant us a fresh revelation of how precious is the blood of Jesus.
