Lets say I want to sell a car which I think is worth is 7000$ and offers are made ranging 2000$ to 9000$
*How much is the car worth?
*The 7000$ that I think its worth ?
*The "Low Ball " offer of 2000$ ?
*No..Not at All..
The car is worth what the highest bidder is willing to pay in the open market.Same way People are traded in the eternal and spiritual market.We are not worth what we happen to think or any "Low Ball" Offer.We are worth what the highest bidder will pay.
The highest bidder is GOD Himself.The Price Tag is the CROSS
God looked out across the eternal ages and said "I will take that one even though its worthless and cheap "Our worth is established once and for all and can never change or diminish.God has made the ultimate offer and paid the highest price through the royal priceless blood which was shed on the cross.
1 Peter1:18-21 NKJV
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct
received by tradition from your fathers,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and
without spot.
20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times
for you
21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and
hope are in God
1 John 1:7 NKJV
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His
Son cleanses us from all sin.
The blood is the core of our gospel message.Without the blood we have
no salvation and no power over the devil. For we must realize that we have been ransomed from the futile way of living passed on to us by your traditions, but not by any money payment of this passing world. No, the price was, in fact, the life blood of Christ, the unblemished and unstained lamb of sacrifice.
Man's blood was corrupted, polluted. Life is in the blood. Sinless blood had to be shed for guilty blood. Jesus shed every drop of His blood to make our filthy lives pure.
What is the secret of the blood of Jesus? Why does it have so much power?
Medical science tells us that the baby gets its blood from the father. If there's any question about the paternity of a child
a blood test can be given and it be proved that one man is the father. The proof is in the blood.
Who is the father of Jesus? If Joseph was the father ,Jesus's blood wouldn't have had the power to cleanse anyone of their sin.Joseph wasn't the father ,Jesus had a heavenly father. How can it be ?
Mary was in flesh ,Father was in spirit.Simple.God and man became one in the womb of a virgin.The blood of Jesus was special.This was the secret
with the blood of Jesus. Man's blood was hopelessly polluted so innocent blood had to be shed for guilty blood.
An atheist said the blood of Jesus must not have power because the blood is 2000 years old and the world is worse now
than it was then.
A Christian replied what about soap? There is soap in the world and it has the power to make the
body clean but many are still dirty.
Let me explain to you how soap works. I can hold the soap in my hand and I will not
be automatically clean. You can stand beside the soap, study it, even get a job in a soap factory but until you reach out
and take the soap and bathe yourself in it you will still be dirty. So it is with the blood of Jesus.
It's not enough to know
and sing and hear about it. You must reach out and take it and be washed in it. The blood must be applied by faith. If you
do, you will join with hundreds of millions in singing there is power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb.
We blood of Jesus sanctifies and cleanses us from all our iniquities.We have been ransomed by the blood of Jesus.Just as the blood had to be sprinkled on the doorposts during the Passover,We need to apply the blood of Jesus.The blood of Jesus is already shed for us all we need to do is to properly claim our blessings through applying it in various areas of our lives.
We are applying the blood of Jesus when we say :the blood of Jesus was shed on the cross for me".
We need to apply the blood on our bodies to receive healing as we are healed by the blood of the Lamb.Our families are protected when we are covered under the blood of Christ.Satan has no authority over anything marked and sealed under the blood of Jesus Christ.We need to claim back the lost blessings in our life through His promises and through the blood of Christ.
Only through Jesus Christ's shed blood on the cross we can live a guilt free, shameless,fearless,flawless, delivered,uplifted,strong ,victorious life in Christ.
It only by the precious blood of our Savior Jesus Christ.
You are Beautiful,Strong and Blessed In Christ.
