PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS

Thursday, July 15,2010
Leviticus 17: 11
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.

The Blood is precious: costly; priceless; highly esteemed; honored; valuable and beloved. GOD ordained the Blood to be precious and the vehicle for the atonement of the soul. Atonement means: to cover and to be at one. In the beginnings, when humankind sinned, GOD killed an animal and made "coats of skins and clothed them" (Genesis 3:21). This covering was provided by GOD through the shedding of blood. This set the stage for the Blood atonement throughout the whole of Hebrew Scripture. GOD ordained that the Blood of an animal, without blemish would be poured upon the altar, one time a year, as the atonement for the people of Israel.

The precious Blood of JESUS, sacrificed upon the Cross and carried, by JESUS into the Holy of Holies in Heaven, is the perfect, once and for all time, offering for our sins and those of the whole world. When we believe in JESUS as our LORD and Saviour, we are covered with His Blood and made whole. The Blood brings you into the Throne Room of GOD. When GOD sees the Blood of JESUS covering us, He passes over and His judgement is: SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.

As in the story of Abraham and Isaac, GOD provides a Lamb for our redemption. The Lamb is JESUS. (Genesis 22:1-14) (Hebrews 11:17-19).

Oh, the Blood of JESUS, it washes white as snow
