Blood of Jesus

Redemption in the Blood of Jesus

His blood redeems us. There was a price against us that we could not pay, but the blood of Jesus redeemed us. First Peter 1:18-19 says, "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect."

Fellowship in the Blood of Jesus

His blood brings us into fellowship with God. According to Ephesians 2:13, "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ." Without the blood of Christ, man is a long way from God.

Peace in the Blood of Jesus

His blood makes peace with God. Man, by nature, is at war with God; and we can only come to God on His peace terms—the blood atonement. The Bible says in Colossians 1:20, "And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself ..."                     

Cleansing in the Blood of Jesus

His blood cleanses. Not only does it remove the punishment of sin, it removes the pollution. I don't care what sin you've committed; "the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).                                                  

Power in the Blood of Jesus

His blood gives power over the devil. It's the blood that Satan fears. Revelation 12:11 says, "And they overcame him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb ..." The devil doesn't want you to learn about the blood. He hates it!
Before this planet was ever swung into space, God had determined in His heart that He would send His Son to die upon the cross. How wonderful it is to trace the scarlet thread of the blood of Christ woven throughout the Bible! How much more wonderful to experience its redemption personally. Praise God for the blood of His Lamb!                                        https://www.christianity.com/jesus/death-and-resurrection/the-crucifixion/what-is-the-power-in-the-blood-of-christ.html    

THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS                                                   "How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"
Hebrews 9:14
Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly Father all participated in the redemption of humanity. Each one did their part. If Jesus had not had the support of the Holy Spirit, it would have been impossible for redemption to be fulfilled. It was the eternal Spirit of God that filled Jesus with His holy presence and gave Him the strength so that He could go to the Cross and offer His life and blood to God. In this way the Cross became an altar. He did all of this because of the deep love that He has for each one of us.
When the Lord gave instructions to the people of Israel, He explained to them why it was necessary to offer an animal and how the blood poured out would bring atonement. He said, “For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life” (Leviticus 17: 11). The way in which redemption was to be carried out was established within the divine law. For example, in Exodus 21:23 it says, “But if there is a serious injury, you are to take life for life.
All of us who believe should receive the revelation of the Cross, because if we participate in the death of Christ, we will also participate in His resurrection. If we suffer with Him, we will also reign with Him. This revelation is like when parents lose their only son, a very difficult situation for anyone to have to live through. It causes such a deep pain that no matter how much someone may try, you cannot be consoled. This is what the prophet Zechariah referred to when he said, “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son” (Zechariah 12:10).    
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Dr. Derek Prince spoke of a vision that he once had. The Lord used it to bring greater understanding to his life about the power of the Cross. In it the Lord told him, “Of the three crosses on Calvary, to whom did the one in the middle belong? Think hard before you respond.” So he thought hard, and realized that that cross was not made for Jesus, but for Barabbas. “So Jesus took the place of Barabbas?” the Lord asked. “Yes Lord,” Dr Prince responded. “I thought Jesus had taken your place?” the Lord said. In that moment, Dr. Derek Prince understood that we are all like Barabbas, and that Jesus had to take our place, carrying our punishment to give us redemption.
