043 Milk-White

Milk White by Thomas Watson The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all our sin. 1 John 1 verse 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 verse 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.
