BLOOD BOUGHT
Dag Heward-Mills

READ: John 10:11-18
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
remission. Hebrews 9:22

We need the blood of Jesus to wash us from our wretchedness and sinful state so that our names can be written in the Book of Life. No matter how much Jesus spoke, preached and taught, He still needed to rescue us by the power of His blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins! There needed to be shedding of blood so that our sins could be covered.
The preaching and wisdom of God is found in the teachings of Jesus Christ. But who would pay for our sins? Who would pay the price for us to escape from Hell? We are redeemed (bought back) by the blood of Jesus Christ. We were redeemed not by the words of Jesus but by His blood.
Why did Jesus Christ stop preaching at the age of thirty-three and head for the cross? Why did He not continue His mission of preaching and teaching the Word of God in other countries? Jesus Christ stopped preaching suddenly and made His way to Jerusalem where He knew He would be captured, tortured and murdered. Jesus said, “No one takes my life from me. I lay it down of my own accord.” Why did Jesus do that?
Why did Jesus willingly and consciously go to the place of His crucifixion where evil men would put Him to death? This was the way Jesus allowed His blood to be shed for the sins of mankind. Today, the power of the shed blood of Jesus is still at work. God’s power of salvation is released even two thousand years after the death of Jesus Christ because of the blood of Jesus.

I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7:9–10 In 1942, C S Lewis wrote a brilliant book entitled  The Screwtape Letters . It tells the story of a senior demon teaching a junior demon how to exploit man’s weaknesses and frailties. Along the same lines, I would imagine that Romans 7:9 is probably the most studied and memorized verse in hell. All junior demons would be taught this verse and the lecture would be titled, “How to bring about a revival of sin”! According to Paul, when you introduce the law, there will be a REVIVAL OF SIN! And that’s not all. Apart from reviving sin, the law also kills and brings death! Isn’t it amazing, then, that there are well-meaning ministers who preach strongly on the Ten Commandments, thinking that imposing the law would cause sin to be removed? According to Romans 3:20, “ by the law is the knowledge of sin .” In ot
