Series: “Scandalous”. Sermon #3 “Lets’s Talk About Blood”

John 1:17-18  “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.”  Jesus Is God!!!

Romans 6:14 “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”

Colossians 1:20-22 “…having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight…”

“The Holy Spirit never brings condemnation He always reveals the blood.”

               Smith Wigglesworth

“ Jesus was cursed on the tree in our place and bore our sin in His own body. He did not bear our sin in His blood. It was just as holy on the cross as it ever was. As He offered the sin sacrifice to God, He was covered with pure, innocent, justifying, redeeming, sanctifying blood so that He was able to dismiss His spirit to His Father at death.”    David Alsobrook

“The blood and the Spirit always bear testimony together. Where the blood is honored in faith or preaching, there the Spirit works; … He always leads souls to the blood. The Holy Spirit could not be given until the blood was shed. The living bond between the Spirit and the blood cannot be broken.”

                Andrew Murray

True redemption is found exclusively through the blood of Jesus.

A working revelation of the blood of Jesus will give you ongoing access to the glory of God.

Where the blood of Jesus flows the Holy Spirit goes.

“Scripture teaches … that life lies in the blood. Blood, therefore , is the mysterious link between matter and spirit. …certain it is that this is the mysterious link which unite these apparently dissimilar things together, so that the soul can inhabit the body, and the life can rest in the blood”  C.H. Spurgeon

Jesus is the lamb slain from before the foundation of the world. 

Redemption through His Blood was always His eternal plan!

1Peter 1:20   “… he was chosen and destined for this before the foundation of the earth was laid, but he has been made manifest in these last days for you.”

“O happy fault that earned for us so great, so glorious a Redeemer.” Ambrose of Milan

          felix culpa (Happy Fault)

The covenant that the Father made with His Son took me from from sinful to SONFUL!!!

4  Truths Regarding The Blood

1. It Has To Be Blood — Why?

Life is in the blood.  Lev. 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’” No blood No freedom  

Hebrews. 9:22  “…  without shedding of blood there is no remission.”

“aphesis”:— Release From Bondage

Remission is a legal term.

Remission is the pardon of offence.

Remission is a once-and-for-all event.

Remission brings freedom.

Remission involves a sacrifice.

Hebrews 10:14, 18.  (TPT) “And by his one perfect sacrifice he made us perfectly holy and complete for all time!”  —  “So if our sins have been forgiven and forgotten (remitted), why would we ever need to offer another sacrifice for sin?”

2. It Had To Be Jesus Blood —Why? 

Precious Blood    1 Peter 1:18-19 “…but with the precious blood of Christ, …without blemish and without spot.”

Blood of God      Acts 20:28 “…church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”

“When we ranked mutations using our method, striking patterns emerged, revealing 39 novel genes having a potential role…” Brenden Frey (UofT News Dec.14 2014)

The Gene Myth: Our DNA is NOT Our Destiny  (Dr. Caroline Leaf)

“…it’s principally our thoughts that influence those genes which are active … So, when all is said and done, we are very much in control, and not victims of our biology.”
