Episode Notes
Teaching Pastor Adam Brock examines Matthew 26:26-28. The significance of blood in Scripture cannot be underestimated. From the Exodus and Passover to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the cross, blood has played a central role in God's redemptive plan. Through the blood of Jesus alone, we are forgiven, justified, made holy, and invited to "draw near with confidence to the throne of grace" (Hebrews 4:16).
Key Takeaways
- The blood of Christ makes us holy: (Hebrews 13) Through His suffering and sacrifice, Jesus applies His blood to us, making us holy in the eyes of God. Without His blood, holiness would be unattainable for any of us.
- The blood of Christ gives us confidence: (Hebrews 10) Knowing that His blood covers us, we can approach God with confidence, entering His presence without fear or hesitation.
- The blood of Christ sets us free: (Revelation 1:5) Christ's blood liberates us from the bondage of sin, giving us true freedom and forgiveness from our transgressions.
- The blood of Christ justifies us: (Romans 5:9) Through Jesus's blood, we are justified, meaning our sins have been dealt with, and we are declared righteous before God.
- The blood of Christ paid the debt in full: (John 19:30) Jesus's proclamation of "It is finished" signifies that the price for our sins was fully paid through His sacrifice on the cross. This act of redemption is final and complete. We cannot add anything to it, nor can we find forgiveness apart from it.
