Milk-white!


(Thomas Watson, "The Lord's Supper")

"The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all our sin!"
     1 John 1:7

Christ's blood is a CLEANSING blood.

As the merit of Christ's blood pacifies God—so the 
virtue of it purifies us. Christ's blood is heaven's bath. 
It is a laver to wash in. It washes a 
crimson sinner—
milk-white!

The Word of God is a looking-glass to show us our 
spots—and the blood of Christ is a fountain to wash 
them away! "On that day a fountain will be opened
—to cleanse them from all their sins and defilement!"  
Zechariah 13:1

But this blood will not wash—if it is mingled with 
anything. If we mingle our good works with Christ's 
blood—it will not wash. Let Christ's blood be pure and 
unmixed—and there is no spot which it cannot wash 
away! It purged out Noah's drunkenness—and Lot's 
incest!
