*Place: Kambah P.S.*
*Title: Nothing But the Blood*
*Text: *& 1 John 1:7
*Illust: *At a great parliament of religions, held at Chicago many years ago, practically every known religion was represented, and many were the learned discourses delivered.
During one session, Dr.
Joseph Cook, of Boston, suddenly rose and said: “Gentlemen, I beg to introduce to you a woman with a great sorrow.
Blood stains are on her hands, and nothing she has tried will remove them.
The blood is that of murder, and nothing will take away the stain.
She has been driven to desperation in her distress.
Is there anything in your religion that will remove her sin and give her peace?”
A hush fell upon the gathering as the speaker turned from one to another for an answer.
Not one of the company replied.
Raising his eyes heavenwards, Dr. Cook then cried out, “I will ask another question.
John, can you tell this woman how to get rid of her awful sin?”
The great preacher awaited, as if listening for a reply.
Suddenly he cried, “Listen, John speaks: “The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (I John 1:7).”
Not a soul broke the silence; the representatives of Eastern religions and Western cults sat dumb.
In the face of human need, they were without message of hope.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ alone could meet the need.
The sin of the race demanded the blood of Calvary.

ii. 1st a bit of physiology: (study of the function of living organisms) – What is blood?
Supply of oxygen to tissues (bound to hemoglobin which is carried in red cells)
Supply of nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and fatty acids (dissolved in the blood or bound to plasma proteins)
Removal of waste such as carbon dioxide, urea and lactic acid
Immunological functions, including circulation of white cells, and detection of foreign material by antibodies
Coagulation, which is one part of the body's self-repair mechanism
iii.
The Red Cross Blood Service are always looking for Blood donors because it is essential to save lives.
In a very real way, your blood is your life.
Leviticus 17:14 for /it is/ the life of all flesh.
Its blood sustains its life.
Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood.
Whoever eats it shall be cut off.’
(NKJV)
