Back in 2003, U. S. soldiers found a guy, who had been an enemy of Saddam Hussein since 1981. Sadaam had put him on his hit list, so this man went home and constructed a wall inside his home. The last thing the man did before sealing the wall was to place himself behind it. He stayed there 22 years until 2003, when Sadaam was dead.
Nobody outside of his home knew where he was. They did not know he was there. Only his mother and his wife knew. But he had been living behind that wall for 22 years. How would you have liked that? Living alone in the darkness behind a wall?
You think--what a terrible existence! 22 years behind a wall. How awful!
Guess what. I know Christians, who live the same way. They take their guilt and they build themselves a wall. And they live a miserable life, a miserable existence, behind that wall. But I want you to know, the blood of Christ can make you clean. It can destroy that wall.
14How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! (Heb. 9:14).
