Bible Reading: Heb. 10: 1 - 18
Topic: Jesus The Final And Absolute Sacrifice
Today's text teaches the
Superiority of Christianity over Judaism, Grace over Law, New Testament over
the Old Testament, the Blood of Jesus over the blood of animals and the mystery
of a permanent atonement over daily sacrifice.
Jesus liberates us (Jews
and Gentiles alike) from rituals of Judaism through the shedding of His
Precious Blood.
Thus He offers total salvation
atonement for sin
A Believer's salvation is
eternally secure because of the finished work of Christ on the Cross.
This however should not be
misunderstood to mean that we can live anyhow we like just because we claim
that we are saved.
Though Christ offers free
and full salvation, we still have a responsibility to work out our own
salvation with fear and trembling (humility) as Paul commands us in Phil. 2: 12
Jesus' proclamation -
"it is finished" (John 9: 30) - puts nullity to other demands for or
means of salvation.
Jesus shed His Blood once
for all for your salvation and that settles every controversy that might be
going on around your life right now.
No other ransom or ritual
is necessary.
Believe the Word of God;
Jesus has set you free (John 8: 36). There is no need to live with guilt, fear
or hopelessness any longer.
Prayer:
Lord Your Word is true.
Please help my unbelief, Amen
Memory verse: Heb. 10: 4
"For it is not
possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sin."
