DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
The life of the flesh is in the blood. When blood stops flowing in the body, the individual dies instantly. “It is the blood also that makes atonement for the soul” (Leviticus 17:11). Although many pagan rituals celebrate the eating and drinking of blood, in Christianity, Jesus Christ shed His blood, died and gave His life voluntarily to take away our sins, shame and suffering.
In our text, the potency of Christ’s blood was clearly expressed; He “loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood” (Revelation 1:5). The significance of blood is demonstrated throughout the Scripture. Abel offered a lamb unto God (blood), and his sacrifice was accepted. Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac, his long-awaited son, but the blood of a ram – an innocent animal – was shed instead. At the Passover in Egypt, the Israelites slew a lamb per household and splashed the blood on their doorposts, to escape God’s wrath on Egypt, because God said, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you.”
Today, Christ’s blood redeems us (1 Peter 1:18,19); brings us into fellowship with God (Ephesians 2:13); makes peace with God on our behalf (Colossians 1:20); cleanses us (1 John 1:7); and gives us power and victory over the devil (Revelation 12:11). There is also sanctification through Christ’s blood.
To partake in His blood’s cleansing and forgiveness requires accepting His sacrificial death through genuine repentance and faith. This will guarantee you an eternity of bliss in heaven.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
It is the blood of Jesus that discharges and acquits the repentant.
