Christ made the ultimate sacrifice, dying on the cross for the sins of humanity. We only have a chance at everlasting life because of His bloodshed.
The song “How Precious Is The Blood” by Cody Carnes is about His death and the blood He shed for you and me all those years ago. It’s a song that reminds us that He made the ultimate sacrifice of love. He did it while we were lost in our sin and shame.
The song’s first verse mentions how much Christ truly loves us. He cares for us enough to give us opportunities we could have never brought about ourselves. He invites us to be with Him, "welcomed as a friend," to sit at the table with Him.
The second verse recognizes His massive act of love, which paid a debt of ours we could have never ever paid. Christ stepped in and paid the price!
“As You hung there on a tree
Through the suffering
Through the crushing
That You would think of me”
The chorus reiterates how wonderful, marvelous and extraordinary Christ's blood is because it blots out and covers sins. Those transgressions are never to be remembered again!
If not for the blood of Christ shed for you and me, no one would have had a chance. The entire world would have remained lost and without hope.
But instead, as John 3:16 mentions, God made a way. He sent His son into the world so that whoever believes in Him would not perish but have everlasting life!
What an awesome song about the love and hope that comes with the name and blood of Jesus!
Hebrews 9:14 “How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?”
