Our world is amazing! There are things God created that blow will your mind when you think about it. Then there are things that man discovered that are spectacular and may even cause you to pause for a moment. My son is doing a paper for school this week on Blaise Pascal. Let me just make this disclaimer: I am not a scientific or mathematical person at all! Ok, now that that’s been taken care of, let me get back to Blaise Pascal. He discovered that if he makes a triangle with numbers and adds them as he goes down, it helps to find coefficients and do complicated math. Again, I am not a math person so I don’t really get it. However, it blew my mind when I was helping my son figure out this triangle puzzle. (If you want to know more I found this website helpful.)

The Most Powerful Thing

God gave man the ability to do amazing things with their minds. In 1961, some scientists in the USSR created the Tsar Bomb. This is said to be the most powerful hydrogen bomb man has ever created. It was so big it couldn’t fit into the largest bomber plane. They had to make several adjustments for it to be placed safely on the plane. The damage this bomb created when dropped as a test would be devastating if dropped in a populated area.

According to Insider Monkey, “The bomb was dropped from a height of about 10.5 km and detonated 4 km above the ground. The fireball that formed at that time was 8 km wide, and the mushroom formed after the explosion was 65 km high, and about 40 km wide at the bottom. The area with a diameter of 35 km around the bomb was completely destroyed.” Thankfully this bomb has never been used in a real war and was just a test.

The Most Rare Thing 

My son is into cars big time. There are actually times when he gets so excited because of a “cool car” he sees that he almost causes me to wreck! He makes my heart stop because he is so excited. There are some super expensive cars out there these days. Do you know what the most expensive car ever made is? According to Hot Cars the most expensive car ever purchased was a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. How much has someone paid for this car? $52 Million!!!! That’s pretty expensive. I don’t know about you, but I sure don’t have $52 Million laying around. (This is USD.) Why is this particular car so expensive? There were only 39 of these cars ever made. When they first came out, you had to get approved by Enzo Ferrari himself. Even back in 1962, those cars were rare and valuable. 

The Most Expensive Thing

God has created some pretty expensive things as well. The blue diamond holds the most expensive price per carat recorded at $3.93 million per carat. It is a highly sought after diamond because it is so rare and thus valuable and expensive. Only God could create something so beautiful. Man can copy, but the copy is never as valuable as the original. 

The Strongest Thing

God has also created some really, really strong materials. Tungsten is known to be one of the strongest natural metals known to man. It is able to withstand 142,000psi of tension. However, it isn’t very strong if something hits it. It is known to shatter on impact. While it is extremely strong in holding its shape under pressure, it can’t handle a direct blow. Of course steel and other metals such as titanium are super strong metals as well. God is an amazing creator of both beautiful and powerful objects, and he gives humans the mind to blend these things together to make even more beautiful and powerful objects. 

The Thing That Surpasses Them All

You may be thinking, Cherise, why are you talking about the strongest metal, most powerful bomb, most expensive car and gem? What does this have to do with anything? Well, I’ll tell you. We, as children of God, have access to something that is more powerful than the Tsar Bomb, more valuable than the blue diamond, more expensive than the Ferrari, and stronger than any metal God or man has made.

The blood of Jesus is so powerful it can cleanse away all your sins: past, present, and future. Jesus’ blood is powerful enough to heal you of all your diseases. ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭103:2-3‬ ‭(ESV)‬‬ tells us, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases” (emphasis added). The benefit of giving your life to Jesus is the fact that his blood is the only substance strong enough to clean away sins and powerful enough to heal your body of any and all diseases. 

With all this power and strength, you would think the blood of Jesus would be rare like the Ferrari and the Blue Diamond. The good news is that there is a never-ending supply of Jesus’ blood. It’s always there when you need it, and there is always an abundant supply at your fingertips. We can not only cover ourselves in his life-giving blood, but we can swim in it or bathe in it, whatever you prefer. 

It’s Free Yet Valuable

On earth, things that are in abundance are generally not worth much. Think about how much you could get for a jar of dirt. Not much, right? Dirt is everywhere. You could literally walk outside and dig up a jar of dirt anytime you like. A jar of dirt isn’t worth anything because anyone can get some for free anytime they want. Like dirt, anyone can have access to the blood of Jesus anytime they like. It’s free. 

Unlike dirt, the blood of Jesus is the MOST expensive thing on the earth. Though it may be free for you and me, it was not free for Jesus. It cost Jesus his life to be able to give us his blood for our healing and deliverance. The very people he created beat him beyond recognition. He had to give up his will to the Father by saying, “Not my will, but your will be done.”

Let’s take a moment and thank Jesus for his gift, remembering we have access to as much of his blood as we want. We also will never forget the price of his blood. It’s a price you and I could never pay. Only Jesus could pay the price with his blood to make us righteous and whole. 

We Can’t Buy It Or Earn It

There is no amount of money that could pay for the gift of Jesus’ blood. No amount of good works is enough for even a drop to be given. Jesus gives us his blood for free. It’s a free gift given to anyone who confesses with their mouth that Jesus is God, and believes in their heart that God raised him from the dead. “Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” Romans‬ ‭10:9-10‬ (‭ESV‬‬) 

Jesus gives us his blood as a gift. You just need faith that his blood will wash away your sins and make you righteous before God. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8-9‬ ‭(‭ESV). Remember faith is “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” Hebrews‬ ‭11:1‬ ‭(ESV).‬‬ Just because you don’t see your healing with your physical eyes doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened. Faith is knowing that you have your healing even if you can’t see the results in the physical. 

Keep Asking

Sometimes it takes time for the physical body to catch up to the spiritual one. Keep believing for your healing. Keep declaring healing over your body. Most of all, keep asking Jesus for your healing. Remember Matthew 7:7 (ESV) tells us to “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” So keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on knocking. Don’t give up because you will see the fruit of this faith. The most precious, most powerful, most valuable substance in the entire world, the blood of Jesus, is potent enough to transform your whole spirit and soul and body.
