The Blood of Jesus Christ!

The wonderful thing about the BLOOD of Jesus Christ is the efficacy of the achievements it has in the life of the believer. While a lot of us have a habit to plead the blood, it is right to mention that the power in the blood is not in the pleading but in the understanding of what it amended and acting by faith in it.

The blood of bulls and lambs are not worthy to be compared to that of the Saviour. An understand and an adjustment by faith made the old Testament believers enjoy the benefits of a shed blood.

The Israelites and their first born sons were preserved from death when the angel of death visited the land of Egypt in one of the plagues that broke pharaoh to release the people of Israel.
The blood of a lamb protected them from death.

The blood of sheep established the old Covenant at mount Sinai and the people lived by that covenant for centuries with God staying faithful to the covenant to be their God from generation to generation.
The blood of an animal enacted a covenant that was so glorious.

The blood of bulls, goats etc was shed to take away sins. In fact the blood of one animal was sufficient to take away the sin of the whole community for a whole year after the priests had laid hands on the animal thus conferring on it the sin of the whole people (not a few but all). It was for all Israel and for the year.
The blood of an animal forgave the sins of a nation for an entire year.

Having these typologies as a foretaste and proof of the unlimiting ability of of the blood of Jesus Christ, I beg to challenge you to take a step in faith and be confident in the power the blood of Jesus Christ provides. He himself presented it before the Father and it is accepted.
The blood of Jesus Christ cleansed you from all your guilt and filt ONCE(and for all), forgave all your sins, enacted the covenant of grace which you enjoy, offers you protection from the grip of death and hell...(if you have believed in Jesus Christ ).
Give it a thought- if the blood of animals could do so much(the few stated above) without pleading, How much more will the BLOOD of Jesus Christ do.

Heb. 9: 11-14; 10: 12, 14
