The blood of Jesus Christ is presented as the ultimate refuge and the only answer to the sin question. A story from the Boer War illustrates how a makeshift blood-stained cross provided safety, paralleling the refuge found under the cross of Calvary. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus' shed blood paid the penalty for sin, enabling freedom and offering cleansing from all sin, as stated in biblical passages from Matthew, Acts, and 1 John. It concludes with an invitation to accept this pardon and come to Christ as one is.

In Conan Doyle's history of the Boer War, there's the story of a day when a small detachment of British troops was surprised by an enemy force twice its strength. The British fell back, but they were exposed to a withering fire. The position of the wounded between the lines of fire was especially perilous. One of the men, a corporal, later told of how they realized they must put up a red cross flag or be blown from the face of the earth.
We had a pillow but no red paint, he said. Then we saw what to do instead. We made an upright of the cross with my blood, the horizontal with Paul's.

Reduce your place. Cancel for death for Adam's grave. Mercy's door is still a job. Come to him just as you are.
Come to him just as you are. Now some verses from the Bible. The Lord Jesus speaking, For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. And in the book of Acts the Apostle Paul speaking, And now beware, be sure that you feed and shepherd God's flock, his church, purchased with his blood. And then the Apostle John wrote, But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another. and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Some people may not like the mention of blood, but the Bible says the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
It is the answer to the sin question, the only answer.
