Redemption By Blood
One of the many names of God is Jehovah Mekaddishkem, which means the “Lord Our Sanctifier”. The word sanctify means “to make holy; set apart as sacred, to purify or free from sin”. When I began to ponder on this one aspect of God, I found it most riveting that God would use blood as a means of purification. Not even the first covenant that God put in effect with Moses was done without blood (Exodus 24:8, Hebrews 9:18). Under the new covenant, the blood of animals would never suffice; it would take the blood of a sinless Lamb (Christ) to atone for the sins of man.
Animal blood was used to symbolize an outward cleanliness; while the blood of Christ represented an inward cleansing of everything that would give man eternal separation from the Father (Hebrews 9:14). You have been redeemed! Purchased for a price-the blood of Jesus Christ. God’s moral law says, “without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22). Christ died so you may live and live life to the fullest (John 10:10). Because of the blood shed by Jesus on Calvary, you can obtain hope, glory, peace, deliverance, healing, joy, salvation and the gift of eternal life.
It is my prayer that you would allow the blood to purify you from all sin (I John 1:7). Claim your blessing, as a believer you are made free by the blood that came streaming down (Revelation 1:5). Let His blood be your covering, for the promise of 2000 years ago still stands.
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise (Revelation 5:12 NIV)
