The Most Precious Gift

David Wilkerson (1931-2011)

June 7, 2024

The blood of Jesus is the most precious gift our heavenly father has given to his church, yet few Christians understand its value.

Christians often sing about the power of the blood. Indeed, one of the most well-known gospel anthems trumpets, “There is power, power, wonder-working power in the precious blood of the Lamb.” However, most believers seldom enter into the power of that blood, probably because we simply do not comprehend its great significance. For example, we constantly “plead the blood” as some kind of mystical formula of protection, but few Christians can explain its great glory and benefits.

If I were to ask you what the power of the blood means, you might answer, “It means that all my sins are forgiven, and I am free.” Beyond forgiveness, though, what does the blood of Jesus Christ mean to you? Can you explain to your family or to a friend or colleague the worth and significance of the blood of Jesus?

Let me share with you the benefits that flow from the blood of Jesus. 

1. Jesus’s blood redeems us from sin and the power of darkness. “In him we have redemption through his blood” (Ephesians 1:7, NKJV). We are no longer under condemnation. 
2. Jesus’s blood has purchased the whole church of God. “Shepherd the church of God which he purchased with his own blood” (Acts 20:28). 
3. Jesus’s blood breaks down all walls. “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation” (Ephesians 2:13-14).
4. Jesus’s blood sanctifies us. “The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). 
5. Christ’s blood overcomes Satan. “And they overcame him [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11).
6. The blood gives us access to the Holy of Holies and to our heavenly Father. “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Hebrews 10:19).

Through the blood of Jesus we are able to come to our heavenly father boldly and without fear!
