TOPIC: Washed In His Blood (DCLM Daily Manna 12 August 2024)

KEY VERSE: “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the f irst begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood” (Revelation 1:5).

TEXT: Revelation 1:1-16 (KJV)

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

Two years ago, the media reported the story of one Amou Haji, described as the dirtiest man on earth. He did not have his bath for about 60 years because he believed it would shorten his life. His neighbours in Dejgah, Iran, became so concerned about his health that they forced him to bath. He died on 23 October 2022, at the age of 94.

The story of Amou Haji is the story of every unregenerate person. But John the Beloved offers hope for the unregenerate, as he introduces Jesus Christ as “him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood”. Christ Himself later spoke about the state of the seven churches in Asia Minor, to whom He was directing His letters. As it turned out, the leaders of the churches, with the exemption of two, were rebuked and required to retrace their steps or face judgment. They had become unregenerate and therefore, needed cleansing to avoid God’s displeasure.

Society has invented what it believes are sufficient cleansing agents. These include morality, almsgiving, good deeds, church attendance, fasting and prayer, and holy pilgrimage, all of which cannot cleanse from sin (Isaiah 64:6). Charles Spurgeon illustrated this thus, that “Morality may keep you out of jail, but it takes the blood of Jesus to keep you out of hell”. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) and that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). It requires the sacrifice of a life to redeem another life, since the blood symbolically represents life (Genesis 9:4).

Sinners must accept that Christ died and paid the price for their sin, if they are to
be washed from their iniquities. It is the only way to be clean and made acceptable to God.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The only acceptable remedy for sin is the blood of Jesus.
