Earlier today, I was exercising in the big James City Recreation Center Pool. I noticed that every so often the young lifeguards would test the pool water chemistry. Then they'd add some ingredients and recheck later. This pool is really large...there must be thousands of gallons of water. Through properties of dilution, the chemicals that are added to one part of the pool eventually reach across the pool and equally affect every drop of water. Jesus is the ultimate lifeguard. He came once and tested the water of our world. He found that it was missing one essential ingredient...HIs own blood. When He gave His life once on the cross, His blood started to disperse . The pool covers the entire world and runs across time. Jesus intersected history and changed the quality of life forever. Each of us has the chance to receive the cleansing power of the blood because His gift is that powerful and is equally available to all.
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
blessings,
Rob Smith
