Today’s sermon was delivered by Pastor Massoud Sadeghi. The following is a summary of his sermon:
“The more we know of the power of Blood of Jesus the more we can have full and complete life in Him. Everything was created by Him and for Him. The eternal life is possible through His Blood. That life in Jesus became light for us. That Light shines over darkness and darkness can not overtake it. Today the life of God is in you. You’re victorious over darkness and over the enemy becasue of the cleansing power of blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus cleanses every and any sin and turns your stains of sin into cleanness, whiter than snow.
Look at 1John 1:7. If we live in light, just as He is in light, we’ve fellowship with Him and He cleanses ALL of our sins. To reach God, you must have a pure heart. It’s not by your actions that you’re saved but by your belief in our Lord Jesus Christ. One who has received Jesus in his heart, he has received a pure heart from Jesus. The Bible teaches us that if we come to Christ, He will receive us with open arms and will forgive our sins. Today, I’ve a good news for you and for the people of Iran, that the Blood of Jesus is able to free you from the bondage of ignorance, from darkness, from slavery to sin. In the old testament, people did two things to cleanse themselves of sin: 1) they gave a scarifice and 2) they washed themselves with water.
Today, whatever worries, sins, problems, regrets, burdens, guilt and depressions that you might have in your heart can be cleansed by the power of Blood of Jesus. The only thing that can cleanse our sins today is the precious Blood of Jesus. Look at Psalm 51:1, 2, 7, 10.
There are three groups of people in this world. First those who have not recognized Jesus as their saviour. They’re still in darkness and their heart is still the old heart. They need the Blood of Jesus to be saved and to come to the Light. The second group are those who believe in Jesus, but like Apostle Peter their feet are still in this world. Jesus washed His disciple’s feet that fateful night before being crucified. This group too need the Blood of Jesus to follow in His footsteps. The third group are those who believe in Jesus and live under the protection of the Blood of Jesus. They’re are always in the presence of the Lord. They need the Blood of Jesus in every thing and every moment of their life. All three groups need the Blood of Jesus to have eternal life, because He gave Himself as the perfect sacrifice to God and it’s by His Blood that our sins have been washed away. Jesus calls on all people, to those who have a sad heart, those who are ill, those who carry a heavy burden -what ever your problem in life might be- to those who have given up on life, to those who’ve lost hope, those who greive, to those with any unsurmountable problem, to come to Him and He will save you and will carry your heavy burden. In particular, I pray for the people of Iran to come to know Jesus and to believe in Him, to discover the secret power of precious Blood of Jesus. Amen.
