Rhapsody Of Realities 19 November 2022 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): A One-Time Sacrifice

TOPIC: A One-Time Sacrifice (Rhapsody of Realities 19 November 2022)

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:12).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today MESSAGE:

The Bible refers to the first tabernacle in the old testament as that “Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect…” (Hebrews 9:9). The Old Testament priests gave different offerings and sacrifices to God, such as “…meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances…” (Hebrews 9:10).

But when Jesus Christ came, His sacrifice was His own blood; He offered Himself. Whereas the priests of the Old Testament had to offer sacrifices year after year for a yearly atonement, Jesus did it once and obtained eternal redemption for mankind. The previous will—the offering of the blood of animals—wasn’t God’s best, and not what He wanted. So, Jesus said, “…Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God” (Hebrews 10:7).

The Bible says the Old Testament priests were “… offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man (Jesus Christ), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God” (Hebrews 10:11-12).

No wonder the Apostle Paul, while ministering to some unsaved Jews in Antioch, unveiled an extraordinary truth. He said, “…through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses” (Acts 13:38-39). Blessed be God!

Tell it everywhere and to everyone: Christ Jesus has consummated man’s eternal redemption once and for all. Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

Glorious and righteous are you, Lord, for you bore our sins and washed them away with your blood, once and for all! You paid the ultimate price for sin, which man had incurred without a means of settlement. Now, we’re washed, sanctified, and justified; free from sin, death, and destruction. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:

Hebrews 9:11-14 (KJV)
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

John 3:16 (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
