The Matchless Message 1

Here's the sweet and blessed story of the Christ who came from glory just to rescue you from sin and misery.  Take a break and sit still for a few minutes and read the Matchless Message of the Lamb of God. Think about your sins and your soul; then think much of Jesus' blood which was shed for your sins and your soul.  Think in your mind, "Did I ever break the law of God, yes or no?  Have I ever in all my lifetime had one sinful thought pass through my mind since I was born?  yes or no?" One sinful thought or imagination is all it takes to condemn you before a thrice-holy God.

If you are guilty, and there is no doubt you are, then you need God's atoning blood to wash away your sins, once and for all.  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  *Romans 3:23*  There are a thousand flaws in your very best works.  You could never earn God's love and mercy.  Even at your very best, you are unworthy of His lovingkindness.  You are a sinner indeed, and you need the Savior of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ.  God Himself became a human being only one time in history.  God sent you a personal pardon from Heaven through the merits and blood of Christ Jesus, the one Mediator between God and sinful men.  Your sins that you commit on a daily basis made Jesus bleed on Calvary's Cross.  Christ died for the ungodly, not for 'good' people.

Two thousand years ago in the days of Caesar Augustus, Christ Jesus was born of a Jewish virgin named Mary in the small Judaean town of Bethlehem.  He was rich, yet He became poor, for your soul's sake.  He lived and labored in this sinful world for some 33 years, and afterwards, He was scourged and nailed to a Roman cross.  His sinless blood was spilt for thankless sinners, He was buried in a borrowed tomb, and then three days later, He rose from the dead victoriously.  After He rose from the dead, He dwelt here 40 days with His disciples, and then He ascended into heaven, and now He lives there to make intercession for all them that trust in Him.  He will come again to receive His born-again saints to Himself, and then He will judge the world in the last day.  JESUS is the very Christ of God.  Jesus' virgin birth, sinless life, precious blood, atoning death, resurrection, ascension, intercession, and personal second coming is all for your sins.  Only bad people that are guilty can be saved from the wrath to come.

God Himself descended from Heaven's glory and took on a body of flesh to pay your sin-debt through His only begotten Son.  Christ suffered shame, agony, humiliation, and death for your sake.  He became Sin personified upon the Cross; the wrath of God was poured out on His soul while He was bearing your sins in His own body.  Christ became a Curse and drank the cup of the wrath of God for you personally.  Jesus left everything behind and became nothing here on Earth, so you could be freely forgiven of all your sins and go to Heaven to live with Him when you die.  Human evil, divine justice, bleeding love, and free forgiveness all converged at one place called Calvary's Cross where God manifest in the flesh bore in His own body all of human sin; where He suffered the divine justice due to our sins; where He loved us to death with His own blood; and where now He offers us the free forgiveness of sins through simple faith in His atoning blood.

Salvation was dearly purchased by the Righteousness and Blood of God's dear Son, but it is only freely given to poor, guilty sinners.  His atoning blood paid the Ransom that is demanded by your sins.  You must simply place your faith in the substitutionary work of the Lamb of God.  The atoning work of God's Son paid the final, once and for all, sacrifice for your personal sins against your Creator.  Jesus Himself is all your hungering spirit needs.  He is waiting and longing to save you freely by His grace.  Utter dependence upon the Precious Blood of God Incarnate is key to the forgiveness of your sins.

Many people today know about Jesus, but few know Him personally as their Sin-Bearer and Savior from the love of sin.  Without faith in Christ Jesus' blood alone, your soul will not be able to stand, neither in death or Judgment.  The Love of God is only conveyed to a lost soul through the bleeding, dying, risen, interceding Christ of God.  You soul will only find peace and mercy with God through the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.  His blood alone can speak peace to your conscience and soul, and take away the guilt and filth of your sins.  Jesus was a sinless man, and He completely fulfilled all the conditions and demands of God's holy Law, because He knew you could not do that at all.  The pardoning grace of God is only available to you through Christ Jesus Himself.  Jesus really bled and died for your real sins.

Come now to the Cross, behold the bleeding Incarnate God, see Him dying in your place with your sins upon Him.  Come now, Jesus waits for you there.  Burdens are lifted at Calvary.  Kneel down with your sin burden, and let Jesus save you freely.  Jesus' bleeding love is gently calling to you now.  There is nothing good in you at all, look completely away from yourself, and look only to the Blood of the Lamb of God.  From Christ only can you receive the free forgiveness of sins.

Whosoever believeth in Him hath everlasting life.  H-A-T-H means you can have a perfect and permanent pardon freely now through simple faith in Jesus' finished work.  Abandon all your self-effort, for that will only help damn you.  By faith in His blood, receive Christ Himself into your inner being - your heart, soul and mind.  Come to Jesus through faith in His Blood.  This very moment, depend and rest only upon Jesus' blood and righteousness, and God will forever pardon you for Jesus' sake.  Jesus is alive now, and He is very near to you.  Come unto Him just as you are - lost, lonely and hopeless.  Trust to His Promises, seek His mercy, rely on His blood, and you will be born again and granted eternal life freely on the spot.
