Today’s Reading:
Ex. 12:1-4, 11-14 (v.15)
“And when I see the blood, I will pass over you” (v.15)
In the beginning when God created heaven and earth, HE made all things beautiful and everything was good until man sinned. This caused separation between man and God. In addition, it brought many problems to human being which includes in-security. However, God provided way of redemption for man by sending His son (Jesus) to die in order to atone for the sin of man by shedding his blood.
When God sees the blood of Jesus, HE sees A. A Price that Purchases …. (Leviticus 17:11). B. A Power that Purges... (Hebrews 9:22). C. A Peace that Prevails... (Colossians 1:20). D. A Protection that Preserves... Exodus 12.
The blood of Jesus is also important because without the blood, there is no redemption. This deals with our purchase from:
A. The World's greatest sellout. (Adam sold us out to sin..).
B. The World's greatest slave master (Satan).
C. By the World's greatest Saviour...(The Lord Jesus...).
Likewise the blood of Jesus is also important because without the blood of Jesus, there is no remission. This deals with our Past:
A) Sins are Forgiven... (Heb. 9:22). And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
B) Sins are Forgotten... (Heb 10:17), their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
C) Sins are Forever Gone... John 1:29; Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
Moreover, the Blood of Jesus is also important because without the blood of Jesus, there is no reconciliation. This deals with our Peace. (Col 1:20). And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; Jesus made:
A) The Offended to be Satisfied... (Col 1:20-22).
B) The Offender is Justified... (Rom 3:24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
C) The Offence is nullified... (1 John 1:7). 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 cleanses us from all sin.
In addition, without the blood of Jesus, there is no reunion (Rev 12:11). “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
