Precious Blood Sacrifice

Early one morning, I was lying in bed half-awake feeling sick. I got concerned with a new virus going around. I felt in my spirit the Lord spoke to me:

” Do you believe my words or the report (news)? Not many of my people know and understand the power of my precious blood. My blood is fully divine and fully human. Even though human, my blood is pure – the only perfect lamb sacrifice.”

In the ancient Jewish tradition as recorded in the Old Testament of the Bible, a lamb without blemish was required for a perfect sacrifice to atone for sins.

‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, you are to offer a male without defect. ¹¹ You are to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar. ¹² You are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar. ¹³ You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. Leviticus 1:10-13 (NIV)

Because Jesus was conceived without sin, I felt that He said,

“Every drop of my blood is pure, perfect. I poured out my precious blood for you all.”

As we remember the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus this week, let’s remember what He has done for us on the cross.

Jesus gave His life, His body as a sacrifice for our sins. Jesus’s body was beaten severely, bruised, mocked, ridiculed, spat upon, and nailed to a cross because of His great love for you and me. Thus, Jesus fully understands human suffering, the pain of rejection, abandonment, betrayal, etc.

“Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
⁵ But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
⁶ We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53: 4-6 (NIV)

“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 (NKJV)

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8 (NKJV)
