The Pastor’s Son
Author Unknown
Like many inspiring movies and
books, this short story may be
fictional. However, the impact that
this work will have on its readers
is very real. Enjoy!
One night in a church service a
young woman felt the tug of God
at her heart. She responded to
God’s call and accepted Jesus as
her Lord and Savior.
The young woman had a very
rough past, involving alcohol,
drugs, and prostitution. But, the
change in her was evident. As
time went on she became a
faithful member of the church.
She eventually became involved
in the ministry, teaching young
children.
It was not very long until this
faithful young woman had caught
the eye and heart of the pastor’s
son. The relationship grew and
they began to make wedding
plans.
This is when the problem began.
You see, about one half of the
church did not think that a
woman with a past such as hers
was suitable for a pastor’s son.
The church began to argue and
fight about the matter. So they
decided to have a meeting.
As the people made their
arguments and tensions increased,
the meeting was getting
completely out of hand.
The young woman became very
upset about all the things being
brought up about her past.
As she began to cry the pastor’s
son stood to speak. He could not
bear the pain it was causing his
wife to be. He began to speak and
his statement was this:
My fiancee’s past is not what is on
trial here. What you are
questioning is the ability of the
blood of Jesus to wash away sin.
Today you have put the blood of
Jesus on trial. So, does it wash
away sin or not?
The whole church began to weep
as they realized that they had
been slandering the blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Too often, even as Christians, we
bring up the past and use it as a
weapon against our brothers and
sisters.
Forgiveness is a very foundational
part of the Gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
If the blood of Jesus does not
cleanse the other person
completely, then it cannot cleanse
us completely.
If that is the case, then we are all
in a lot of trouble.
What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Psalms 55:23
1 John 1:9
