Topic: THE SACREDNESS OF THE BLOOD

Memory Verse: Leviticus 17:11 – For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Bible Reading: Hebrews 12:22-24

Message:

Blood is not just important in the life of man, buCaBir very sacred in the sight of our creator — the Almighty God. It is so sacred that the Bible says anyone who sheds blood will have his or her blood shed also (Genesis 9:6). The first place where we saw God being angry with someone who shed the blood of another fellow is in Genesis 4, in the case of the murder of Abel by his brother Cain. The Almighty God said:

What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand. Genesis 4:10-11

The sacredness of blood can be further seen in our memory verse. The life of the flesh is in blood and that is why the blood of Jesus can make atonement for our sins and redeem us from eternal damnation that awaits all sinners.

Many people have however, shown complete disregard for the sacredness of blood. Many engage in or encourage abortion of unwanted pregnancies, ritual killings, cannibalism and so on. Some have told lies that led to others losing their lives. Some embezzled funds that should have been used to build roads or hospitals thereby causing fatal road accidents and loss of lives due to poor medical services as a result of inadequate funding. Criminals shed blood with impunity without considering the position of theAlmighty God concerning such acts.

Beloved, are you blood-guilty? You must repent today because blood is very sacred and God will not spare unrepentant sinners who are caught in the guilt of blood-letting. The good news is that Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, has paid for all our sins, including blood-guiltiness, as we find in our Bible reading of today. The moment a person acknowledges that Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose that we may have eternal life, that fellow is saved from every sin, including blood-guiltiness of the past.

Accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, and your sins will be completely forgiven.

Points: Pray that God will cleanse you from all sins, including that of blood-guiltiness.
Bible in one year: Isaiah 50, Isaiah 51, Isaiah 52

Hymn Title: When Peace, Like a River Attendeth My Way


Chorus: 5. But the Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal:
Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul..

  1. When peace, like a river attendeth my way,

When sorrows, like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to know,
“It is well, it is well with my soul

  2. Though Satan should buffet,

It trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my Helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

  3. My sin- Oh, the bliss of this glorious thought

My sin-not in part, but the Whole
Is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.

  4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live!

If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

  5. 5. But the Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,

The sky, not the grave, is our goal:
Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul
