“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” Hebrews 9:22.
The blood authenticates the Gospel. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus died to save the world. Redemption is impossible without the blood, and specifically the blood of the first born (Gen 3:15, Ex 12:29-31, Gen 22:2, 2Kings 3:27). Jesus the first born in the family of God (Rom. 8:17) became a sacrifice for our redemption. His blood was shed on the cross of Calvary to end every other sacrifice made with blood of human or animal, and to secure our redemption.
What is the implication of this? Every man must accept Jesus and believe the Gospel to be saved. Every believer must have confidence that because the blood of Jesus was shed, his sins are forgiven and that the hold of darkness is broken over his life. Every believer must also have confidence to share the Gospel with the world.
As we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, let us remember that it cost God the blood of His dear Son to save us (Rom. 5:8) and let us ensure that this not done in vain for us and for others.
Happy Easter.
