Blood of, Christ Jesus: Illustration
There is a little piece of silk in the museum of
Springfield, Illinois, that could not be bought for any amount of
money. Why the value attached to it? Because of its
significance. That little bit of silk is all covered with blood.
It was once a part of a dress worn by a beautiful girl, who sat by
Abraham Lincoln when he was shot; and it was that beautiful girl
who took his head in her lap, as a mother would receive the head
of a baby, and it was that girl who held him while he bled his
life out. The State of Illinois purchased that dress, and cut out
this piece of silk covered with the blood of the great statesman,
emancipator of an enslaved race, and the man who in the programme
of God became a cohesive force in the salvation of this great
nation.
If a state would do that for the blood of a man, what
should the world do for the Blood of Jesus with all its
emancipating power, and all its cohesiveness for a scattered race?
For, if the race of man, without regard to nationality or colour
or condition of life, is ever to be united and held, it will be by
the cohesiveness of that Blood.
