Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Wednesday April 17, 2019 |
Morning Time: 7:24 AM PST
"We are come to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than
that of Abel." --Hebrews 12:24
Reader, have you come to the blood of sprinkling? The question is not
whether you have come to a knowledge of doctrine, or an observance of
ceremonies, or to a certain form of experience, but have you come to the
blood of Jesus? The blood of Jesus is the life of all vital godliness. If
you have truly come to Jesus, we know how you came--the Holy Spirit sweetly
brought you there. You came to the blood of sprinkling with no merits of your
own. Guilty, lost, and helpless, you came to take that blood, and that blood
alone, as your everlasting hope. You came to the cross of Christ, with a
trembling and an aching heart; and oh! what a precious sound it was to you to
hear the voice of the blood of Jesus! The dropping of His blood is as the music
of heaven to the penitent sons of earth. We are full of sin, but the Saviour
bids us lift our eyes to Him, and as we gaze upon His streaming wounds, each
drop of blood, as it falls, cries, "It is finished; I have made an end of sin; I
have brought in everlasting righteousness." Oh! sweet language of the precious
blood of Jesus! If you have come to that blood once, you will come to it
constantly. Your life will be "Looking unto Jesus." Your whole conduct will be
epitomized in this--"To whom coming." Not to whom I have come, but to
whom I am always coming. If thou hast ever come to the blood of
sprinkling, thou wilt feel thy need of coming to it every day. He who does not
desire to wash in it every day, has never washed in it at all. The
believer ever feels it to be his joy and privilege that there is still a
fountain opened. Past experiences are doubtful food for Christians; a present
coming to Christ alone can give us joy and comfort. This morning let us sprinkle
our door-post fresh with blood, and then feast upon the Lamb, assured that the
destroying angel must pass us by.
