In spiritual redemption your soul is brought into freedom from the penal consequences of sin. The pur chasing power is the blood of Christ. Jesus pays the price and offers it to any lost sinner who will take it. While it costs the sinner nothing, it costs Christ all. By His sacrifice we are given the confident assurance of being unashamed and unafraid in God’s presence. “Ye who are afar off are made nigh by the blood' of Christ.” Christ died with our sen tence over His head. God’s broken law demanded our life’s blood. God’s Son took our place on Calvary. He hung where you and I ought to have been. By the blood the claims of the Lord are perfectly met. His charges against you and me are withdrawn so that we can pass from death unto life and never come into condemna tion. Christ washed us from ours sins in His own blood, giving us the power of His indwelling Holy Spirit which allows us to overcome the devil. The blood nullifies every conceivable charge that Satan brings against you and me. The important question cannot now be passed by. My friend, “Do you have the bloodmark?”
IF THE SHEEP ARE LOST? 'Twas a sheep, not a lamb, that strayed away In the parable Jesus told; A grown-up sheep that had gone astray, Out on the hillside, out in the cord, From the ninety and nine in the fold. 'Twas a sheep the Good Shepherd sought, And back to the flock, safe to the fold, 'Twas a sheep the Good Shepherd brought. And why for the sheep should we earnestly long And as earnestly hope and pray? Because there is danger; if they go wrong They will lead all the lambs astray. For the lambs will follow the sheep, you know, Wherever the sheep may stray; When the sheep go wrong, it will not be long 'Till the lambs are as wrong as they. And so with the sheep we earnestly plead For the sake of the lambs today; If the sheep are lost, what a terri ble cost Some lambs will have to pay. I HAVE FOUND IT! I have found the perfect treasure, Richer than my fondest dream; It is mine and mine forever, And salvation's wonderful theme. Wealth as vast as all of heaven! Beauty fairer than the day! Joy with no corrupting leaven Shall go with me all the way, Sought by labor under law 'Till God's grace reached down, caressing, Touched my faith— and then I saw! Will you share with me this treasure— Gift of God's amazing grace? 'Twill be more than all earth's measure Just to look upon His face.
