Jesus, our Sacrificial Lamb, our Savior, our God, our Redeemer ~
He laid down His life as our sacrificial lamb to pay for our sins.
When He rose from the dead three days later,
He gave victory over eternal separation from God (death)
to all who put their faith and trust in Him.
New found faith brings us into a personal relationship with God,
through all that Jesus has done and continues to do.
through all that Jesus has done and continues to do.
John the Baptist introduced Jesus, saying,
"Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
(John 1:29)
The penalty God imposed on sin is both just and loving,
for God Himself, in the person of the Son, paid that penalty
for all who will accept Him as their Substitute.
God the Son, clothed in human form, shed His blood for man's sin,
therefore, satisfying every demand of holy justice.
And through that precious blood, God showed Himself to be both
"Just and justifier of him which believeth in Jesus"
(Romans 3:26)
"We have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of His grace"
(Ephesians 1:7)
"You were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold,
from your vain manner of life... but with the precious blood of Christ,
as a Lamb without blemish and without spot"
(1 Peter 1:18-19)
Apart from Jesus Christ, all people are separated from God.
Sins rebellion forged a gulf between God and man
that is humanly impassable.
Yet, Christ's blood built the bridge from God to man.
"Now in Christ Jesus, you who formerly were far off
have been brought near by the blood of Christ"
(Ephesians 2:13)
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that,
while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood,
we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him"
(Romans 5:8-9)
Human sin produces a pollution of the heart that can only
be cleansed by God's grace. And that grace proves itself
in the power of Christ's sacrifice.
"The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son,
cleanses from all sin"
(1 John 1:7)
The Bible emphasizes Christ's blood because only in His sacrifice
can we find forgiveness, cleansing, reconciliation, salvation and glory!
♡♡♡
Do you know the Savior, who's blood was shed upon Calvary' cross?
Thinking of you, dear friends,
and wishing you the blessings of God's grace,
the peace of His promise and the joy of His love.
Be Gracious!
