Thank God for The Blood
“Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” (Hebrews 9:18-22)
Today’s Morsel: Are you thankful for Calvary? Paul said: “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18) He told the church at Rome: “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (Romans 5:6-9) One of the duties of the high priest was each year to carry the blood sacrifice for the people’s sins into the Holy of Holies and offer them unto God. It was the blood that made the atonement for sin. But when Jesus Christ, who became our sacrificial Lamb and our High Priest, offered Himself for our sins, there was now no longer a need for a blood sacrifice. He paid the debt for all of them present and for those which were to come. Aren’t you thankful?
Sing: Thank God for the blood, thank God for the blood; Thank God for the blood, that washes white as snow.
Thought For Today: “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.” (Leviticus 17:11)
