Jesus, accomplished through one offering of Himself, what millions of Gallons of animal blood had never been able to do, nor would ever be able to do. That is, all the animal blood spilt through the sacrificial system that was set up by God for Israel, could never provide the righteousness required of God. Jesus paid the full redemption price for all those who would call on Him by faith (Hebrews 10:5-14) (Hebrews 9:11-14) (Hebrews 11:25-28).
Hallelujah! It is the blood of Jesus, and only the blood of Jesus, that washes away the stains of sin in our life. Because of the washing that comes through Jesus Christ, we are now considered to be “new creation’s” in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17). What is your response to such a truth? I hope you cannot stop praising the Lord for what He has done for you.
In (Revelation 1:18), Jesus makes the statement, “I am alive forever more, Amen.” Jesus uses these words to describe who it is that is speaking to John. He is the “living One.” This title distinguishes the Lord from every false god (idol) of the heathen that is made of wood, stone, etc.. Jesus did something no one has ever done before in history. He gave His life at the cross, He was buried, He rose again from the dead, by His own power (Matthew 28:1-6) (John 10:17-18). One could say, that the greatest miracle ever done or seen would be Jesus’ resurrection from the grave (death). But possibly the greatest miracle is that God would enter humanity, live among men, suffer the agony of the cross, and taste humiliation and death for sinners like us (2 Corinthians 5:19) (Philippians 2:8) (Hebrews 2:9).
