There is power in the blood

By Asher Intrater

 

During the season of Passover, the weekly traditional Torah readings are found in Leviticus. Thus there is an association in the minds of religious Jews between the Temple sacrifices and the Passover lamb.

The blood of the lamb on the doorposts is a symbol and a sign (Exodus 12:13). The lamb of God is Yeshua (John 1:29, 36); the blood came from his side when he was pierced (John 19:34); the wooden doorposts represent the wood of the cross.   

 

There is power in the blood of the lamb. What is the secret of its spiritual power?

 

Revelation 1:5
He loved us and set us free from our sins in his own blood.

Are you struggling with sin? Is some bad behavior holding you in bondage? The blood of Yeshua has set you free and delivered you from that captivity. His blood is proof that you are loved. Meditating on the blood of Yeshua will break the power of sin over your life.

 

Revelation 5:9
You have purchased them to God by your blood.

Do you feel that no one cares about you? Your worth is determined by how much someone will pay for you. Yeshua purchased you at the price of his own blood. That's how much he wants you. That's how much you are worth in his eyes. Your sense of worthlessness is gone forever.

 

Revelation 7:14
They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.

Do you feel guilty, ashamed and unclean? The blood of Yeshua "washes your robe" and "makes them white." Only the blood of Yeshua can reach your conscience and set you free from guilt (Hebrews 9:14; 10:22).

 

Are you wounded in the deepest place of your heart? Nothing external or superficial can reach it. The blood of Yeshua comes from the deepest place of his heart to touch you in the deepest place in your heart. This spiritual power heals you deep within.
