This video is an amazing testimony and analogy to our relationship with Jesus and the good news of the gospel. Below are quotes from the video and my added thoughts. The Gospel is “A substitution of blood on my behalf so that I could live again and so that the deception of my body would die.”
“Even if we fight your cancer and get you into remission, this thing is going to come back… no matter how hard we hit it, it’s going to come back.” = Our Sin
“We want to find somebody, somewhere in the world… and take their immune system out of their body and put it into yours…. and it will begin to grow new white blood cells.”
Jesus will literally begin to grow in us and live in and through us… 🙂
“We found one perfect match” = Jesus
“We were so excited that there was somebody out there, who was not only a match, but after being contacted was willing to give their blood and to be brave enough to give me what I needed to live.” = Jesus
“When we put this new blood inside of you, you’re going to be given a new birthday. You’re going to be like a baby inside the womb all over again.” “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” John 3:3
“I’m literally dying a death; and then they brought that bag of blood into the room…. and the new blood begins to run into my body. My body accepted that new blood and it slowly began to build a new immune system and I’m completely cancer free today.”
“If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself” (Matthew 16:24) We must die to ourselves in order to live; in order to allow our body to accept Jesus’ blood. As we die to sin, He will begin to grow in us, leaving us cancer free, leaving us sin free, washing us white as snow.
“It’s no longer I who lives, but someone else who lives inside of me”
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” -Galatians 2:20
“I believe that all of us have a spiritual cancer that’s eating us away on the inside and if we really take a look at it, we are dying and we’re begging for somebody to intervene, to step in on our behalf. There’s not a question in my mind that the only answer for the human condition is that of Jesus.”[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
