Series Three: Sprinkle

Hebrews 9:14a NCV
"How much more is done by the blood of Christ."

In my own word, "it is far better to have Christ's blood than to have the blood of goats, calves, and bulls that were sprinkled over the people who were unclean and had to be clean again and again every year since Moses' time and until Jesus' time.

Hebrews 9:22 tells us that "the law says that almost everything must be made clean by blood, and sins cannot be forgiven without blood to show death" (NCV). Moses had to sprinkle the blood on the Holy Tent and over all the things used in worship (v21).

From the TV, Joyce Meyer quoted several rituals of sacrifices of the animals from the Old Testament. She said that it was really a lot of blood, a lot of butchering of animals, and a lot of sacrifices every year. She asked the audience, "Are you glad that Christ's death on the cross takes away our sins once and for all? It should makes us really appreciate Christ's sacrifice for just one time." They answered, "Amen" with relief on their faces (TV camera show this).

So how much better that Christ's blood offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to God one time forever. His blood will make our conscience pure from our useless acts so we may serve the living God.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son to the world that through Christ, they might be saved through His precious blood in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen!

So let's trust God today!

Song: Under the Blood.
Lord, keep my soul from day to day,
Under the blood, under the blood,
Take doubts and fear and sin away.
Under the precious blood.
Chorus:
Under the blood, the precious blood.
Under the cleansing, healing flood:
Keep me, Savior, from day to day,
Under the precious blood.
