Many years ago a servant of God told one story. A small boy in a village was playing, when some lime dust fell into both his eyes. He screamed in anguish, Alas! My eyes are burning! The neighbours came running and carried him to the local hospital. The doctor said, The boy may lose his sight. Bring some blood: be it of an ox or a goat; and pour it into his eyes. Be quick. Blood alone can dissolve the lime and clean the eyes. The boys mother who stood by him said, There is no time to search for ox or goat. Slit my finger a little and pour the blood into my sons eyes. Accordingly, they made an incision in one of her fingers and poured the blood into her sons eyes. Even amidst her pain, the mother wailed, My son, are you able to see now? Is the burning reduced? Shall we pour some more blood? So is our gracious Lord Jesus! On His head, a crown of thorns; Hands and legs pierced by nails; Yet, He did not murmur. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. (Isaiah 53:7) With a heart of love as that of a mother, He declared, My childrens hearts are loaded with sins and iniquities. They languish, unable to see God. Let My flesh be torn and My blood poured upon them. Let My childrens spiritual eyes be opened. Let them see God. That is the love of Christ! The blood of Jesus Christ has selfless love soaked in it. It is spotless and precious blood. The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Prayer: Loving Lord Jesus, With You behind me, in front of me and within me, whom or what do I have to fear? You have purchased me with Your precious blood that You shed for me on the cross of Calvary. I open my heart to Your love. Fill my heart with Your love and make me worthy to see God. I praise You because You have heard my prayer. Amen.
