"The blood of Jesus"The Blood of Christ

New sermon posted. "The blood of Jesus"The Blood of Christ

Hebrews 9:22
New International Version (NIV)
22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD
Leviticus 17:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement

for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.[a]
When we sin we earn death.
(Rom 6:23) The wages of sin is death.
Jesus paid the this penalty for us by shedding His blood.( dying for us –in our place)
What is the meaning of Atonement?
It means to be one At-One with God.
With Jesus blood shed for us we can be one with God.
His blood makes us friends with God.
His blood makes us sons and daughters of God.
By faith we accept what He did for us.
What sin does to our life?
Separate us from God- ( Isaiah 59 :2)
Makes us feel Guilty. Psalm 38:4)
Allow Satan to Accuse us. ( Rev 12:10)
Demands the death penalty. Eze 18: 4

Only the blood of Christ meets all of your needs.
THE BLOOD IS FOR GOD.
The blood of Christ wholly satisfies God’s law- which requires a penalty for breaking the law.
1 John 3:4 says “sins is breaking the law.”
Only Jesus blood protect us from the penalty of breaking the law.
In Exodus 12 – Put the blood of the lamb on the door post.
If there is no blood the destroyer will destroy their first born.
The lamb is the sign of Jesus being slaughtered and His blood takes away all sins.
Fellowship is restored.
When Christ died for our sins 2000 years ago fellowship is restored.
Romans 5:8-9
New International Version (NIV)
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!

We are Redeemed.
The meaning is Purchased back from slavery.
I thank God that through His son Jesus we are no more slaves to sin. But slaves to righteousness.
Ephesians 1:7
English Standard Version (ESV)
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

Now the blood of Jesus is for man.
The Blood cleanses from Guilt.- Heb 9:14
The Blood Sanctifies Us. Heb 13:12
The Blood Bring us Close to God. Col 1:20-22
The Blood Gives Boldness to Enter God’s Presence. Heb 10: 19-22
The Blood Perfects us in the sight of God

The Blood Puts God on Man’s side against the devil.
Romans 8:31-34
King James Version (KJV)
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justified.
34 Who is he that condemned? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

The Blood Dissolves all Satan’s Legal Rights of Ownership.
“……. In whom we have redemption the forgiveness of sins.” (Col 1:14)
Redemption means ‘to buy back’
Today you are under new ownership and the price that was paid for us was the shed blood Jesus.
“……the church of God which He bought with His own blood.” (Acts 20:28)
WHAT THE BLOOD OF CHRIST BROUGHT US?
Purity of Heart. 1 John 1:7
New King James Version (NKJV)
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Eternal Life.
John 6:53-54
New International Version (NIV)
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

APPROACH TO GOD.
Ephesians 2:13
New International Version (NIV)
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Say: I am near to God.
Say: Jesus dwells in me.
Say: I am Holy because of Jesus.
My Commitment.
Say after me:
I now understand what the shed blood of Jesus means to God, to Satan and to me.
I make me commitment to share with others the truth concerning blood of Christ.
I will remind myself often of the covenant God has with me, to forgive my sin and cleanse me from sin and protect me from Satan’s harm.

}DON’T BE DUST CONSCIOUS BUT BE JESUS CONSCIOUS.
}TEXT Luke 13: 10-17
}A Spirit of Infirmity
}10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” 13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
}14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.”
}15 The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite![b] Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” 17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
}18 years under bondage.
}No body was able to help her.
}All she could see the dust on the ground.
}Every where she went she only saw dust .
}But Jesus had sympathy and Jesus personally called her and sat her free.
}Thank God she finally saw the beautiful feet of Jesus who brought her good news and raised her up.
}
}DUST IS THE DEVIL’S FOOD.
}In order to put Christian into bondage the devil has to take their focus away from Jesus and let them be dust conscious.
}This is the way he can bring your attention away from Jesus.
}The more you are dust conscious you can never be Jesus conscious.
}Genesis 3: 14
}Genesis 3:14
}New King James Version (NKJV)
}14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
}“Because you have done this,
You
are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
}
}Dust represents death.
}The devil want you to be like him- to fall flat on you belly, crawl and eat dust.
}To eat dust is to feed on your shortcomings and your lack until you constantly feel that there is so much  in your life that you need to clean up.
}Genesis 3:19
}New King James Version (NKJV)
}19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you
are,
And to dust you shall return.”
}
}RELIGIOUS TEACHER WHO TEACH LAW WANTS YOU TO BE DUST CONSCIOUS.
}14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
1.This is what happening to many churches they want keep the law and failed to see Jesus finished work.
2.They try hard to please God like the Scribes and Pharisees and yet they fail to see Jesus. They see dust.
3.They become dust conscious and end up not reigning in life.
4.Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law.
5.And made the law absolute. Heb 8:12
}The law kills but the Spirit gives life.
}2 Corinthians 3:6
}New King James Version (NKJV)
}who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit;[a] for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
}If this woman were to be still under the law she would be seeing dust for the rest of her life.
}Those under the law cannot reign in life.
}They will have temporary success but that too will come to an end.
}Under Grace fullness of life.
}Grace is the heart beat of Jesus.
}
}Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees –Hypocrites-
}15 The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite![a] Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?
}There are many out there saying they can keep the  “Law”.
}Tell me how many of them outside there saying they keep the “Law” and actually they are not.
}How many “Laws” can they keep?
}Church we are under “Grace” and we will be “Grace” conscious in order to receive every blessings that God has promised us.
}The Law of Moses could not help only Jesus can.
}16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”
}The Law was good but it did not do any good to this woman she was bound for 18 years.
}Satan kept her bound.
}Jesus sat her free on the Sabbath.
}Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath.
}He is Lord over every circumstances in your life.
}Be loosened and sat free in the name of Jesus.
}Be careful Satan’s tactics.
}1 Peter 5:8
}New King James Version (NKJV)
}Be sober, be vigilant; because[a] your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
}He uses religious teachers to rob you from God’s abundance in your life.
}He uses “The Law” to condemn you.
}Remember  Romans 8:1
}There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
}You are in Christ Jesus by believing in Him.
}You are blessed and always favored.
}
}Lift your eyes above the dust.
}If you don’t want to be devoured by him, then lift your eyes above the dust.
}Instead of looking at your failure look to Christ who has delivered you from every defeat.
}Colossians 2:8-10
}New King James Version (NKJV)
}Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
}
}See the way God see you.
}Church how does God sees you?
}Colossians 3:12-13
}New King James Version (NKJV)
}Character of the New Man
}12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
}God sees you as Holy
}God sees you as righteous.
}God see you as perfect. ( Because He sees Jesus in you)
}You ARE A NEW CREATION
}2 Corinthians 5:17 (New International Version)
}17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
}You are no more under condemnation like the woman had infirmity for 18 years.
}You focus and attention should be on Jesus.
}The more you look at Jesus to settle your problems He is there for you.
}No more dust conscious but JESUS CONSCIOUS.
}
}YOU ARE NOT DUST.
}Romans 8:9
}New King James Version (NKJV)
}But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
}You have the Spirit dwelling in you.
}Your sickness is healed.
}Your worries are gone.
}Jesus in you gives victory after victory to you.
}
}
}Close:
}Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
}The more you realise who you are in Christ you will straighten up an walk the way God sees you.
}A new creation with His authority, power and overcoming Spirit.
}17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
}When you have Jesus in you your adversaries will be put to shame.
}You will enjoy the fullness of God’s blessing in your life.
