The Power of the Blood of Jesus

By Andrew Murray

"The Power of the Blood of Christ" does a wonderful job of introducing the need for Christians to claim the blood of Jesus, and in confirming its biblical authenticity. In a day when the blood of Jesus is being removed from the very translation of the Bible itself, when the mention of the blood of Jesus is considered offensive even in the churches, it is more important than ever for this book by Andrew Murray to remove the misconceptions. "The Power of the Blood of Christ" is a God-send for those who are willing to accept the ways of God without cringing. Though the blood of Jesus is not in any way magical, it is nonetheless crucial and foundational to receiving any benefit whatsoever from God. In "The Power of the Blood of Christ," Andrew Murray clearly shows this truth in his books. He also mentions scores of benefits that are only available through the shed blood of Jesus. This book remains a Christian classic, a tremendous discourse on "The Power of the Blood of Christ." The New Testament book of Hebrews states that, "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." Andrew Murray shows clearly that within that statement is included ALL the resulting benefits of forgiveness, as well.

Andrew Murray

ANDREW MURRAY (1828-1917) was a church leader, evangelist, and missionary statesman. As a young man, Murray wanted to be a minister, but it was a career choice rather than an act of faith. Not until he had finished his general studies and begun his theological training in the Netherlands, did he experience a conversion of heart. Sixty years of ministry in the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa, more than 200 books and tracts on Christian spirituality and ministry, extensive social work, and the founding of educational institutions were some of the outward signs of the inward grace that Murray experienced by continually casting himself on Christ. A few of his books include The True Vine, Absolute Surrender, The School of Obedience, Waiting on God, and The Prayer Life.

Reviews for The Power of the Blood of Jesus

[agentx216 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

While the subject is covered well and I would probably say as completely as one can biblically, the writing style causes this book to be a very hard read. I would love the contents of this book to be covered by a better writer. Great doctrine, tough read. Final grade - C

Andrew Murray is one of my go-to authors for sound, Bible-based, Spirit-lead, hard-hitting instruction, admonition, and exposition. So it is with a disappointed mind that I give this book such a low rating. To be clear, there is nothing theological questionable in this book. Far from it. His explanation on the power of the Blood of Christ is solid and true. It is the prose that I found difficult. Circular and repetitive, his prose, will true, seem to spend most of the time saying the same idea over and over, just using slightly different words. He doesn’t use large word or complex vocabulary, preferring simple words and sentences, so the ideas he puts forth as accessible to anyone of average understanding. But his passion for his topic overshadows his literary abilities and his ideas often get lost in a tangle of repetitive jargon.Andrew Murray is always worth the time to read, but be mindful that this particular work may take more patience.
