The Blood of Remission

Matthew 26:28 “For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Hebrews 9:22 “And almost all things are by the law purged (to make clean) with blood; and without the shedding of blood is no remission.

Now the word, remission means to release from guilt or penalty of: pardon, to excuse the offense without a penalty. The word, forgiveness means to give up resentment of or to stop feeling resentment against. Remission is often translated to forgiveness. Both have the similar meaning.

The author of the Hebrews tried to explain that the old system in the Law of Moses that required the blood of animals to be sprinkled over the book, all the people, both the tabernacle and furniture and the vessels of the ministry. This was the blood of testament which God has made with His people (Heb.9:19-21). All things were required by law to make clean with the blood and without using the blood, there would be no remission, no pardon, and no release from guilt or penalty from sins.

Now Jesus came before disciples and He said, “for this is My blood of the new testament …” fulfilled in Hebrews 10:7 “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of Me,) to do thy will, O God.” The Old Testament was the volume of the book, the shadow or type of good things to come.

It was the Old Testament time, (the old agreement) when Jesus came and now He declared that His blood was the New Testament, (the new agreement) and He gave His blood for many to be released of their guilt, their penalty and their punishment of sins. How would Christ give His blood? It was through His stripes 39 times and His death on the cross so there would be remissions of our sins. We are now released because He took that punishment for our sins upon His body at the cross.

Song: At the Cross

Was it for crimes that I have done

He groaned upon the tree?

Amazing pity, grace unknown,

And love beyond degree (measure)!

Chorus:

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,

And the burden of my heart rolled away.

It was there by faith I received my sight,

And now I am happy all the day!
