In part and purport Evangelist
Dwight L. Moody said Of THE Pre-
eious Blood" that from Genesis to
Revelation the Bible teaches the
atonement.
1t Is something Christ has done for
us outside of oursel yes. 1t Is substi-
tuition. Adam and Eve were shelter
ed behind the blood. for they had
clothing OF the skins of animals whose
Innocent blood was thereby sacrificed.
AbePs sacrifice took the blood of the
lamb. Noah took clean animals into
the ark to use for sacrifice. Abraham
itypiiied Calvary on Mount Moriah
Moses Travelled the same road. For
1900 years the lamb OF the Passover
was q necessary annual sacrifice in the
Church OF God. The children of Israel
were put behind the blood. Salvation
came not by repentance, faith. &C., but
by the blood The life of tie flesh was
in the blood.
Have you. nay friends, found shelter
behind the blood Death came by
Adam and Ewes dtsobedience. By sin
and disobedience either had to die or
some one had 10 die for me. The PEN
atty OF violated law had to be paid.
During the last two years 1 have
preached the atonement more than
ever before. The church to-day needs
the good old doctrines. There is sal
Walton in them. For thousands of
years. and from the beginning all the
way down. the atonement has been
before the people of God. the blood
OF crucitied Saviour and tho way
that Wesley and Knox travelled are
good enough for me.
In Mark IA: "a we learn "the blood
was shed for many" Luke - 20;
The blood WIS shed for you"
Jesus before He entered in
to glory" "expounded all things about
Himself" He was not II martyr. He
was substitute. He laid down His
lie. lie met the penalty of the law.
lie was nailed by our sins to the cross.
The Evangelist here gave grand
description OF the meeting OH the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION.
] believe God has His heart set on
this world. 1t Is the only one where
His Son died. lie will do great and
things in this world. lie
TASTED death for every one.
Ills blood is precious because:
|. 1t has redeemed us. We were
acid by the law and could not redeem
ourselves. All Jesus wants from us is
our gratitude.
IL. 1t blots out and conceals our
iius.
III. II brings us nigh to God and
nd one another.
~. 1t is IA league to us that Jesus |
ailled to lis an inherited estate. He |
filled 10 peace and joy. etc. Have |
GU received all YOU are entitled to in |
he Will?
V. 1t brings TO us justification.
hat Is something so great and pro-
ious that L cannot define it. i used
0 try to but now | give it up. II is
omething that enables you to stand
efore God Just as ii you never sinned.
Is too big for me to explain. Oh.
low our gratitude ought to go out in
oundless love to our Saviour
VI. 1t eleanses from all sin. Not
art only, but ALL
Day of Judgment"
My friends. take God at his word
prisoner was told by a prince that
IS life was safe until he drank the
alter in that glass which he held in
Is hand. He instantly Dashed the
alter to the ground, His lite was
jared.
The blood may either be for con-
to ole who rejects its
oneinent and makes fun OF and pro.
hes 1t. or Tor salvation to him who
,lemnly receives it.
The Galliiean will triumph lie
ed His blood for you. You can get
lyation right here and now.
How precious anu thrilling are the
INNS that sing of the blood. We
