Oh, Precious is the Flow!

“Oh, precious is the flow,
“That washes white as snow,
“No other fount I know,
“Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”

Wonderful words, wonderful truth.

What more precious time is there than that moment when a guilt-crushed sinner surrenders to the sin-cleansing flow of Jesus’ blood?

Pain and embarrassment are washed away as the healing flow surges into anguished hearts and minds.

Some have called the tear-filled altar scene “messy” or “embarrassing.” Rather we’d see the tears as the sin and guilt-releasing effulgence of God’s healing.

What an awesome gift is God’s forgiveness, and what a privilege it is to be trusted by God to lead others to that moment and share the joy.

Why would we ever let embarrassment stop us from leading others to that moment?
