The Blood of Christ
Cleansing by His Blood
Washed in the Blood
Description
The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. This cleansing is not merely ceremonial but actual—it purges the conscience from dead works to serve the living God. The great multitude in white robes have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. This cleansing is ongoing—if we walk in the light, His blood keeps on cleansing us. No stain is too deep, no sin too scarlet, for the blood of Christ to wash white as snow.
