The Blood Of The Lamb
Today I left school early for an appointment at CGH. Then it's straight to Church for Training & Equipping Class. This term, I selected "The Blood Of The Lamb".
Pastor Daphne gave an opening from her Foreword in the manual. "The understanding of the shed blood of Jesus begins with the love of the Father for the world, whom Jesus came to die for...whose (Jesus') shed blood opened the way for our salvation and stripped away every principalities and powers over the earth."
She shared something at the end which I thought was very powerful. I can't quote exactly, of course, but she started recollecting her past thoughts about the wrath of God. We know that God is a longsuffering God. His mercies are new every morning etc. But no matter how longsuffering God is, His wrath can't be held back forever. There must be an outlet. So Jesus had to take our place and "drank the cup" of the sins of this world. To Jesus, He's new to all these because He's one who knew no sin. Thus the blood shed is so precious - price for our redemption we may never fully apprehend. So great is the power of His blood. Because it's sinless blood. Pure and uncontaminated. The blood of the Son of God. So underated sometimes even by Christians. I'm pointing my finger to myself too.
I love You, Jesus. Set my heart right to receive the revelation of You in Your fullness.
