Jesus Christ’s shed Blood has amazing power. It is through the Blood of Jesus that we can be made blameless. Hurting, angry and irresponsible people are always looking for someone to blame. Perfectionists also are looking for someone to blame. Sometimes we do or say things that make us worthy of blame but we can be made blameless by the Blood of Jesus.
