Hebrews 10:8-10 (KJV) Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 9:11-22; Matthew 13:11; Ephesians 3:1-11; Colossians 1:26-27.
Today we begin study lessons on a series unveiling the manifold loving kindness and wisdom of God towards all mankind in Christ Jesus titled THE MYSTERY OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
1. The word mystery simply means secrets. A mystery is a divine secret hidden in the word of God for the benefit of God's children. Bible mysteries are not hidden from you but hidden for your benefit. It is hidden from Satan, angels, evil spirits and unbelievers. It is revealed only by the Spirit of God to those who have the Spirit of God in them-1Corinthians 2:9-11, Ephesians 3:1-5.
2. The mystery of the blood of Jesus is revealed only to those who have been redeemed by the blood. And this power of the blood is also available and accessible to all who believe. Jesus shed his blood not for himself but for you. The blood of Jesus is the totality of the salvation plan of God for all men and the future of all eternity- the new heaven and new earth. The blood of Jesus otherwise called the cross is the most important event ever in the history of all creation in heaven and earth and for all eternity. It is the gateway to eternity in heaven or hell.
3. Jesus shed his blood not only for your benefit but also to protect the holiness of God in heaven after the fall of Lucifer and some angels. The blood of Jesus was also to magnify the glory of God forever as a just God and the only justifier of all men. Revelation 12:7-12, Hebrews 9:23-24, Romans 3:23-26.
4. The blood of Jesus was an instrument of love and judgement. Love towards God and man, and judgement towards sin, Satan and all evil spirits. To God and man it is called the precious blood of Jesus but to the enemies of God it is called the consuming fire and fury of God.
