Fri.-Sabbath, 2/13-15/15 Devotion

Yippee—it is almost Sunday! Here is Thomas Watson, from, "A Body of Divin-ity":

"Go to Christ's blood for peace. Some seek their peace from their own right-eousness, not Christ’s. They go for peace to their holy life, not Christ's death. When their conscience is troubled, they strive to quiet it with their duties. This is not the right way to achieve peace. Duties must not be neglected, nor idol-ized. Look to the blood of sprinkling, (Heb. 12:24). The blood of Christ which pacified God, must pacify conscience. Christ's blood being taken in by faith, gives peace. 'Being justified by faith, we have peace with God,' (Rom 5:1). There exists no balm to cure a wounded conscience, but the blood of Christ."
