When we look at Jesus’ sacrifice, we see that it is a perfect sacrifice that provides all of the necessary blessings.
Christians only consider the Crucifixion at the inception of the Christian lives; when we progress in our growth as Christians, we cease to think about the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. However, from the beginning to the end of our lives, we must have a vision of the Crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We will lose our relationship with Jesus Christ if we lose that vision. Therefore, if we lose focus of Crucifixion, we can end ourselves going down the wrong path.
At all times, we must keep the Crucifixion in mind.
When we consider the perfect sacrifice made by Jesus Christ, Jesus’ suffering was included in all the blessings that were necessary.
How are we to comprehend Jesus Christ’s sacrifice?
We can categorise into two categories:
- The blood he shed on our behalf.
- The body that was broken for us.
The blessings the gods have reserved for us are seen when we consider both of these aspects.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, HE SHED ON OUR BEHALF.
1.Forgiveness from the Blood
The only thing that can forgive for our sins is the blood of Jesus Christ. There can be no forgiveness without the blood of Jesus Christ.
For this reason, we require the blood of Jesus Christ from the beginning to the end of our Spiritual lives.
Ephesians 1:7“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”
2.Jesus' Christ blood cleanses us of all our sins.
The blood of Jesus Christ, cleanses us of all sin; we can only be redeemed through the blood of Jesus, which is why we require a cleansing experience in our spiritual path.
We cant be cleased without anything, but only the the blood of jesus christ.
I John 1:7"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
3.Blood of Jesus Christ cleanse our conscience.
The blood of Jesus Christ, cleanses us of all sin; we can only be redeemed through the blood of Jesus, which is why we require a cleansing experience in our spiritual path.
We cant be cleased without anything, but only the the blood of jesus christ.
Hebrews 9 : 14"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses our conscience and enables us to serve the living God.
Service is another way of “worshiping God”.
That is why, when we come into God’s presence, we must first cleanse our conscience ; else, the entire worship will be ineffective.
Every day, we need Jesus Christ’s blood.
When our conscience is not cleanse, we are unable to follow the Lord and serve, minister, or worship our God.
When we remember Jesus’ sacrifice by breaking bread and wine, that’s reason we make sure we cleanse our conscience and participate worthly.
4.Blood of Jesus Christ justify us.
Romans 5:9" Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
Justify means, Be worthy of standing in the presence of God.
If we consider when Adam lost his good conscience, he was unable to stand before God; but, by sacrifice, we can once again stand before God.
That is why, even after man’s fall, he did decease man,but rather helped him continuely.
5.Blood of Jesus Christ brought peace between God and us.
Colossians 1:20"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven."
Through his blood, he has brought us peace.
The blood of Jesus Christ is required for peace with God and one-another.
When we do not accept and make peace with one another, we deny the blood of Jesus Christ.
Let us accept Jesus Christ’s blood and be at peace with one another.
6.Blood of Jesus Christ draws near to God.
Epeshians 2: 14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
The blood of Jesus speaks to us and continues to speak to us, inviting everyone to accept Jesus Christ, and the same blood is calling on the Father to forgive our sins.
Hebrews 10:19Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
It now not only forgives us of our sins but also takes us to the most holy place.Everyone needs Jesus’ blood, from sinner to saint.
7.Blood of Jesus Christ is the Covenant blood.
I Corinthians 11:25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
This blood brings us into a covenant with God.
Before partaking in the breaking of bread and wine, we have to evaluate whether we violated the covenant, and if so, we must correct everything before partaking.
If we don’t do it right. We are guilty according to the light of God.
8.Blood of Jesus Christ gives us Victory.
Revelations 12:11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
If we maintain the blood conditions, we will win the victory.
We can overcome the enemy through the blood of Jesus Christ; it is not only needed as a sinner but also for a saint to have his blood.
Hebrews 9 :12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Jesus has brought us to the eternal redemention.
What do you mean by internal redemption? Not only save us, but the blood will protect us until the end.
Let us put our trust in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
THE BODY THAT WAS BROKEN FOR US.
1. Healing
1 Peter 2:24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed
The body’s Jesus Christ offers us with healing.
2. Unite as one
Matthew 12:50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
How does the body bring us together?
Doing what Jesus Christ accomplished, unites us, which is why we should obey God’s word.
I Corinthians 9 :13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
How does the body bring us together?
Doing what Jesus Christ accomplished, unites us, which is why we should obey God’s word.
I Corinthians 10:17For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
The Holy Spirit’s baptism unites us.
I Corinthians 10:17For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
He broke his body so that he could form, a new one called the church, and we are all one body.
Hebrews 10 :10By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
We become one when we are sanctified, and the sanctification is infused into our lives by the blood of Jesus Christ.
Now that we have been reunited, we are unified as one.
Hebrews 2 :11For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
3. Partake of his Fullness
Epheshians 1:23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
We are able to partake of Jesus’ fullness through his body.
We won’t ever be hungry or thirsty for Christ once we trust, accept, and entrust.
All blessings are contained inside it. Let us remember and believe in the blood of Jesus, and be blessed.
