Guilt:
And The Blood
By A.C. Quinn
The
shedding of the precious blood of Christ can only be partly
understood until one grasps the arresting nature of guilt. While the
word itself is found only once in the Bible (Deut. 19:13), references
to it are many and in every case it is inextricably related to sin.
It was for sin that Jesus shed his blood (Matt. 26:28; Heb. (922).
Guilt, is
simply the feeling or condition of conscience one has for his
wrong-doing and the realization of his responsibility for that
wrong—sinful—action. Regardless if the description is by poet,
philosopher or theologian, the gruesome result of sinning is the
same—guilt. Someone has said, “Guilt upon the conscience is like
rust upon iron, both defiles and consumes it, growing and creeping
into it, as that does which at last eats out the very heart and
substance of the metal.” So says another, “Guilt once harbored
in the conscience breast, intimidates the brave, degrades the great.”
There is a remedy—only one remedy-for the guilty soul.
“There
is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins; and
sinners, plunged beneath that flood. Lose all their guilty stain.”
Truly there is “Power in the precious blood of the Lamb”—power
to cleanse the guilty stains which have marred the soul of man. May
the Lord give His church the moral and spiritual strength and desire
to point lost souls to that fountain.
