Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0181A recorded on June 8, 1980 teaching from Genesis – The Power of the Blood of Jesus.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the power of the blood of Jesus as the essential foundation for human reconciliation with the Divine. Drawing from the biblical narratives of Adam and Eve and the contrasting offerings of Cain and Abel, Stevens argues that human effort and “good works” are insufficient to bridge the gap created by sin. He posits that because sin is a deliberate act of disobedience, it requires a costly sacrifice to satisfy justice, positioning the shedding of Christ’s blood as the only propitiation capable of turning away God’s wrath. Ultimately, Pastor Stevens gives an urgent call for individuals to move beyond mere religious tradition and personally embrace the cleansing and purchasing power of this “crimson thread” to find true peace.
