SAVING BLOOD
Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Revelation 5:1-14

...Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Revelation 1:5

The blood of Jesus is precious, because it is superior to all other kinds of blood. There are many other kinds of blood the Bible speaks of. But none of these has any power to save, heal or deliver anyone. Have you ever heard of anyone’s blood being able to wash sins away? Never! Nothing can wash away our sins except the blood of Jesus Christ. None of the several different kinds of blood that the Bible speaks about, can compare with the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the whole world.
Other people’s blood may have a message and may have some power. The blood of Abel, for instance, spoke of murder and cried for revenge. But the blood of Jesus Christ spoke about better things and had a far greater power. “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” (Hebrews 12:24).
The blood of saints and prophets calls out for punishment to be meted out to those who do not fear God (Revelation 16:6). The blood of bulls and goats is blood that is powerless to bring forgiveness (Hebrews 10:4).
Shedding the blood of the children of Israel would probably result in some kind of punishment from God. Shedding the blood of martyrs, saints and prophets would also come with its own specific judgment. The blood of saints, prophets and martyrs does have some significance. But only the blood of Jesus can save you from your sins.

PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON JESUS' FINISHED WORK - PS JOSEPH PRINCE

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 .” I...

“Though the mountains be shaken and the   hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not   be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,”   says the   Lord, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10,  NIV I want to give you a simple but critical truth. Memorize this truth. Feed on it. Let it take root in your spirit and become an anchor in your life. You will never be the same again. Are you ready? Here it goes: As a child of God, no matter what happens in your life, your Father in heaven loves you dearly and nothing you do can ever change that. Will you believe that today? Whether you are going through good times or facing challenging times, you need to know that your Abba loves you. There is nothing that you can ever do to make Him love you more, and nothing that you can ever do to make Him love you less. Even—or perhaps  especially —when you feel like you have failed, know that you will  always  be the apple of His eye...
