IT'S STILL ALL ABOUT THE BLOOD

Their blood. Our blood.
Spilled blood. Diseased blood.
His blood. Calvary's blood.
Covering blood. Cleansing blood.
Healing blood. Life-giving blood.
Jesus' blood.

The devil would have blood be the symbol for only disease and violent death. He hates the blood of Calvary. I'm convinced he knows he lost at Calvary, but I'm also sure he shakes his fist at God and says, "I'll make you pay every drop of the blood price."

But Calvary's blood--Jesus' blood--cleanses and heals and delivers.

Not cheap, this blood-bought victory!

Blood-borne AIDS has now become the single most disasterous calamity in all of history to attack the human race.

Yet, that blood-bought victory of Calvary's flow can never be staunched. It is bigger than AIDS, it is even bigger than sin and hate.

The Children's Cup Team pledge this: we will push deeper and deeper into hurting places in the power and under the covering of Jesus' redeeming blood.

It is an emotional journey, surely not without risk. But just as surely not without victory.

Do you want to take this journey with us?
