Here I Am, Lord

So Unworthy of the Blood

Here I am, so unworthy of the Blood. Unworthy of the Blood that set me free. Here I am, so unworthy of the Blood, yet it flowed for me.

(Unworthy of the Blood lyrics)

We come to the Lord empty handed with nothing to offer but our repentance and faith in the precious Blood of Jesus. He saved such unworthy ones, as we all are, by His sacrificial death on the Cross. That Blood flowed for you and me, our sins nailed Him to the Cross. We all stand guilty before Him in need of His Mercy and Grace.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God; being justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23).

This tells us succinctly that all have sinned and stand guilty before a Righteous God. We, of ourselves, cannot live a life of Righteousness. What we need is the Lord’s Mercy which is given to us freely as we come to Him admitting our condition. His Grace is needed on a continuing basis as we walk out our Christian lives. We all fall short of the Glory of God not matter where we are on our walk with the Lord. 

“In Whom (Christ) we have Redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His Grace” (Ephesians 1:7).

Our sins were forgiven by the Lord through the shedding of His Precious Blood at the Cross. The riches of His Grace cannot be used up. It is there for us on a daily basis and comes to us through the work of the Holy Spirit as we continue to place our faith in Christ and Him crucified.

“For you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation (lifestyle) received from traditional from your fathers; but with the Precious Blood of Christ, as of Lamb without spot” (1 Peter 1:18,19).

It took the Lord of Glory coming and dying on the Cross to save us from our fallen state. We could not save ourselves, and we cannot walk out this life of faith by our own strength, or some combination of faith and works. The Christian disciplines (prayers fasting, church attendance, etc.) are all things we should do, and they will bless us, but they will not give us victory as we walk out our lives. It took Christ going to the Cross to save us and it will take our faith in His sacrificial death there to bring us victory over the clinging vines of the Fall.

“And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful Witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the Earth. Unto Him Who loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own Blood” (Revelation 1:5).

The Book of Revelation, which is the Revelation of Jesus Christ regarding the things that are to come, begins with a Revelation of the Lord’s earthly Life and what He accomplished here. It is a testimony to His great love for us and it is a witness to our total need for all He offers us through His abundant Mercy and Grace. He lived a Life here of perfect obedience as the “Faithful Witness.” He showed forth His love for us by washing us from our sins in His Own Blood. By this, His love for us shines forth as beacon drawing all men to Him. And finally, He is the Prince of this Earth and will come in the Second Coming to rule this world. He loved us with and Everlasting love and we stand in awe of that love and are so thankful for the Blood – the Blood of the Lamb shed for us.

Here I am, so unworthy of the Blood, but yet it flowed for you and me.
