It is His blood—His sacrifice, His death, His sufferings,
His cross—that causes God to accept Jesus as the propitiation. It is the blood
of Christ that God accepts as the sacrifice for our sins; the covering for our
sins; the satisfaction for our sins; the payment for the penalty of our sins;
and the appeasement of His wrath against sin.
What does the Bible mean by “the blood of Christ”? It means the willingness of Christ to die (shed
His blood) for man. It means the supreme
sacrifice Christ paid for man’s sins. It means the terrible sufferings Christ went through for man’s sins. It
means the voluntary laying down of His
life for man’s sins.
What does this mean to me? I cannot find words to express
the deep feeling what Christ has done for me. Those written words touched my
heart so much that it also reminds me of another song, “Lead Me to Calvary.” I just felt like I don’t ever want to forget
this, the propitiation, the sacrifice that Jesus Christ has done. The words,
“lest” I use a sign for “if” and “Gethsemane” signs
for “garden place.” Sometimes I use “Remind me of Calvary”
and “Remember Calvary” when you get into a deep worship song. It is awesome. May
the Holy Spirit bring the Presence of Christ to you in Jesus’ name!
Song: Lead Me to Calvary
Chorus:
Lest I forget Gethsemane;
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary.
1. King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory
be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary.
Chorus:
Lest I forget Gethsemane;
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary.
2. May I be willing, Lord, to bear, Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share, Thou hast borne all for me.
Chorus:
Lest I forget Gethsemane;
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary.
[Lyrics: Jennie Evelyn Hussey, Sing His Praise]
May we be blessed when we sing unto the Lord!
