One night in a church service, a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She
responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
The young woman had a very rough past, involving
alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church.
She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.
It was not very long until this faithful young
woman caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when
the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable
for a pastor's son.
The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting. As the
people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand.
The young woman
became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past. As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak.
He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be.
''My fiancee's past is not what is on trial here. What you
are questioning is the ability of the Blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So,
does it wash away sin or not?''

The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of
the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and
sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
If the blood of Jesus does
not cleanse the other person completely, then it cannot cleanse us completely. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot
of trouble.
''What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus.'' - End of case!
