TOPIC: An Eclipse

MEMORISE: Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. James 4:8

READ: Isaiah 59:1-2

Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 13-15, Galatians 6:1-18

MESSAGE:

An eclipse takes place when one heavenly body such as a moon or planet moves into the shadow of another. For example, a solar eclipse happens when the moon revolves around the earth; it moves between the sun and earth. When this happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching the earth. This causes an eclipse of the sun or solar eclipse where the moon casts a shadow on the earth.

Relating that to Christianity, sin is the major thing that blocks the light of God from entering into ones life, thereby causing a spiritual eclipse. Sin separates a fellow from God. When Adam and Eve sinned, separation occurred. They could not be in the presence of God any longer nor be in the beautiful Garden of Eden. If you find it comfortable to sin, there’s a high possibility that you are already separated from God. However, there is a solution: the blood of Jesus is the only thing that can remove this hindrance between you and God. Run back to the cross today and confess your sins to God. Be determined never to go back to them anymore if you dont want eternal condemnation.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, please help me to escape from eternal damnation in Jesus’ name.

HYMNS: What Can Wash Away My Stain?

What can wash away my stain?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

CHORUS
Oh! precious is the flow,
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know;
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

For my cleansing this I see?
Nothing but
the blood of Jesus;
For my pardon, this my plea ?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that
I have done;
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
