 MADE NIGH BY THE BLOOD

TEXT: EPHESIANS 2:13

''But now in Christ Jesus ye who were sometimes far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.''

Christ, by His blood, takes our hands and brings us to God for an abiding and unbroken life-long communion: this is the prize of His blood. In Christ, the great gulf betwixt God and man is bridged; we dare to say that Christ's blood, as it were, stands as a sea between man and God, whereupon God's mercy as a ferry boat, conveys man from the region of death into that of light, where God waits with open arms to receive man. In God's eternal pre-determinate counsel, the blood of Christ is the only agency designed to 'flush' man into God's safe harbor. The blood quenches the fiery and burning wrath of God; a drop thereof, between deity and humanity, seals a league or pact of peaceful co-existence. In the war between God and man, when God saw the blood, He sounded a retreat of all His wrath against man. The blood of Christ inclines God to speak to man as unto the son: calmly, peacefully and feelingly. As Absalom insisted on Joab to come take him to see his father's face, the King, so every soul of man must pressure the blood by faith to take him to our Father the king of kings. O man, did Absalom set Joab's field on fire in order to compel the general to make arrange for him to see the face of David, his father? Arise then, and ignite a holy fire of faith in the blood, which only can make you stand before the king. Oh saints, we are standing right in the presence of God: thanks and praise be to the blood, whereby those of us who were far away, have been made near. Brothers, by the blood, we are now within ear-shot: God's whispers are heard by us, because of the blood of Christ. Our faintest sighs are loud in His ears like thunder, because of the blood. Jesus' bloody flood, as it were, brings goodness and mercy from God to us: for this, we are humbled! Saints, what time sin draws you from His side, swim back to Him in the vast sea of His blood, yes, behold, a ferry of mercy waits your leisure to convey you back to the arms of God on this Calvary Mediterranean sea of the blood of Christ. The blood still brings the ungodly to God for cleansing! A double-dyed scarlet sinful garment cannot resist the bleaching power of the blood. To be continued.
