Hello everyone, welcome, thank you so much for connecting. Today, we want to talk about the
blood of Jesus and the power of the blood of Jesus. Let's try and understand why Jesus had to
shed His blood for us. As we look at scriptures, we see from Leviticus chapter 17 and verse 11,
the scripture says, ‘for the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the
altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the
soul.’ So, God had spoken to the children of Israel to make an atonement for their sins and it
was done by the shedding of blood. And we note in the practices of these people that animal
sacrifices were quite common and this is how they were able to reconcile themselves with God
by offering up the blood of animals. Let's read another scripture, this is from Hebrews chapter 9
and verse 22 it says, ‘and almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without
shedding of blood is no remission.’ Let's consider these words purge from the Greek word
‘katariso’ which means to cleanse, to make clean or purify. The word remission there ‘afesis’
which means to pardon, bring deliverance, forgiveness, liberty and this scripture is stating that
without the shedding of blood, there is no remission and it is the blood that purges or the blood
that cleanses us. Now if we look at the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament, one of the things
that the blood was able to do for the people was to cover their sins. We see that this covering
again was quite temporary because they had to do it time and again to approach God. But as
we look at what Jesus has done for us, the scriptures tell us that He became that one perfect
sacrifice who shed His blood once for us and the blood of Jesus, it purges us, it cleanses our
sins. It not just covers our sins, but it also takes our sins away and that's the powerful truth that
we understand that the blood of Jesus has done something for us, that the blood of animals
could not do. And because of this, we can depend on the blood of Jesus to cleanse us and
reconcile us back to God. Hebrews chapter 10 and verse 18, it says, ‘now, where there is
remission of sin, there is no longer an offering of sin.’ Remission of sin has taken place through
what Jesus has done for us and the scripture also says there is no longer an offering of sin, that
means that when Jesus has paid the price through the shedding of His blood, no other blood is
required for us. We can depend on the blood of Jesus. He lived a holy life and shed His blood.
He became the lamb of God who brought us salvation and this is such great news for us friends
that we can count on the blood of Jesus, that one, perfect sacrifice and the perfect blood of the
lamb that has not only purged our sins, it has brought us remission, it has brought us
deliverance on every side. And as we believe in the Lord Jesus, you and I can experience the
power of the blood working in this way in our lives. So, let's go ahead and let's pray and thank
the Lord for His blood. Father, we thank you for Jesus, the perfect lamb of God, whose blood
purges our sins, whose blood brings us remission. Lord, we thank you that it is that one, perfect
sacrifice that we can depend on. Thank you, Lord, for sending your son to die for our sins, in
Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
