R706 Blood of Jesus

Blood of Jesus.

That's today's topic Dr. Don Wilton as we open the Bible itself guides Encouraging Word together as we study guide would notably love to connect with you on our website and GW online.org DW online.org where you will find great resources and opportunity to sign up for daily devotional. Check us out on nine, my friends, we are going to be in one of the most awesome subjects known to man. I want to tell you that when you talk about the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are about to talk about the most precious thing that God could ever tell us in his word because the Bible says that the Lord Jesus Christ shade his blood gave his life for us in order that we might be forgiven of our sin, and in order that we might have life. In fact, the Bible says without the shedding of blood. They can be no forgiveness of sin the whole of Hebrews chapter 9 it's a long chapter but it has to do with that subject. Now what is our blood do for us. Blood is what keeps us alive. If you lose your blood or if you will.

Blood stops working in your body the way it's supposed to work. It means that you're going to die.

Often we hear sad stories about people who bleed today well because your blood is your life source. So when the Bible says that Jesus shed his blood. What that means, literally, was that his blood stop team from being alive is a human person and he died.

Now, folks, is what we going to do with Dana read this chapter and I'm going to stop a couple of times this is this is one of the most exciting chapters in all of God's word and are subject this morning as the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews chapter 9.

Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was set up in its first room with a lampstand table and the consecrated raid. This was called the holy place behind the second curtain was a room called the most holy place, which had the golden altar of incense and the gold covered off of the covenant. The ark contained the gold draw of manna Aarons Stauffer that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant above the ark with the cherubim of the glory that is the Angels overshadowing the atonement, the atonement, was the mercy seat representing the mercy of God in Christ Jesus. Verse six when everything had been arranged like this. The priests entered regularly into the outer room to carry on the ministry, but only the high priest entered the inner room and that only once a year, the day of atonement. Garrett is and who may have a without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins of the people who had committed sin in ignorance, not just watch me for a month. What the Bible is telling us about the construction of the tabernacle. If you could just imagine the floor of the sanctuary, the priests, in general, they could come onto the floor of the century. This was the tabernacle. Then there was a big cook just pertain to try chair with appropriate areas in the choir and that was the holy of holies. Behind that once a year, the high priest would come, and the first thing that he would do as he would put on a ceremonial type of clothing.

I wish I had time to describe it to you. It's very interesting. Maybe will do that one time in our Bible study, but everything that he dressed up in was significant. It had significance.

According to the law of Moses and it was different college that was black and autoranging and different shades of different colors and what he would do as he would walk through this curtain into the holy of holies and the first thing that the high priest would do is that he would make sacrifice for his own sins that how did he do that well if I could be perfectly honest with you he killed animals.

He sacrificed sheep and all different kinds animals. Whether it be goats or dogs because it didn't matter, but he had all different animals.

There primarily sheep he would sacrifice the now folks let me tell you what happened the whole of the holy of holies became filled with blood. There was blood everywhere. In fact, not anybody do that, but he sprinkled blood on everything we got this picture sometimes of this beautiful place in the holy of holies many tell you it was dripping with blood, when he was finished offering sacrifices for himself.

He left the holy of holies, and he changed clothes and he washed himself ceremoniously again.

Then he put on pure white clothing, just pure white just like the color of my shirt, pure white clothing in pure white clothing he would reenter the holy of holies, and he would start to sacrifice lambs for one specific purpose for the forgiveness of his sin. This time black photo forgiveness of all the people, not any of the sins that they knew about but the sins that were in the conscience and the sins that they knew nothing about. See that's what Jesus did.

Jesus was the Lamb of God without support and without rancor. He was pure and spotless and wanted Jesus. Jesus entered the holy of holies what E. He shaved his blood on be half of the people, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all righteousness and even in the Levitical law you could not be forgiven of Jehovah, unless blood was shed or I now want you to hold that thought go back to Hebrews with me. All right, we are in Miramar. I'm inversely, the Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way to the most holy place had not yet been disclosed. As long as the first tabernacle was to stand. This is an illustration were assembled for the present time, the writer says it's an illustration of what Jesus Christ is done upon the cross, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered were not able to clear conflict conscience of the worshiper.

They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings and external regulations apply on to the time of the new covenant. So when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already yeah he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, that is not man-made, that is to say not a part of creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and cause buddy into the most holy Place once for all by his blood. He didn't need all these animals, folks. All those things were no longer relevant heat into the holy of holies, by his own blood, having thereby obtained eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so they are outwardly clean. How much more than the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God claims our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God. This reason Christ is the mediator, all of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance. Now that Jesus Christ is God as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant down the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a will is in force only when someone has died. It takes effect, while the one who made it is living. Watch me for a moment. What is the will of God. The will of God is that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that is God's lost will and testament God's last will and testament is that you and I are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves. It is the gift of God not of works based any man should boast. Let me ask you this.

If that is the lost will and testament of Almighty God in the world of the lost will and testament of Almighty God be made possible for us. It was through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

When was it activated it was activated when Jesus Christ gave his life. I want to speak to you about the blood of Jesus. Let's continue to read the Bible says in verse 19 verse 18.

This is why even the first comment was not put into effect without blood. When Moses had proclaimed to become on the below tool. The people he took the blood of clogs together with Wharton's solid wooden branches of hyssop and he sprinkled the scroll, and all the people he said this is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you to keep in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in the experiment.

In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

It was necessary them copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices. But the heavenly things themselves with a better sacrifice than these for Christ did not enter a man-made century that was only a copy of the 21 know he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence goal did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again and again and again the way the high priest enters the most holy place every year with God that is not even his own, then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world he would admit to being executed and crucified time without mom but no now Jesus Christ has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as man is destined to die once and often that the price the judgment so it is that Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people and then he will appear for a second time, not to bear soon as he did the first time, but rather to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him is that not the most remarkable passage of Scripture. Somebody say amen this morning I can't even conceive that people would go to church and look like they recovering from when treatment when we dealing with the blood of Jesus Christ son Marty say amen again. Is this not the most incredible subject in the world blood of Jesus. Something assigned preacher settle down. You don't settle down you going to have another blood clot. I want to tell you something. My friend, it is so hard to say pull down when it comes to the blood of Jesus Christ. There is nothing more precious than the blood of Jesus Christ you're listening to Dr. Don Wilton our teacher on The Encouraging Word don't go away to be back with the rest of today's message in just a moment, but no one is born courageous, but everyone hopes courage will come to us is a wonderful resource on our website right now. Cold call for courage. It's a TW online.org hope you visit and see how you can get your copy along with a message from Dr. Wilson called be salt and light. It's all online@twonline.org now back today's great teaching with Dr. Don Wilton. I want to look at this blood from four perspectives number one shadow blood number two shed blood.

Number three shed blood and number four see you blood this chapter in Hebrews is about God. Number one, it's about shadow blood. If you go with me for the first few verses of chapter 9 from verse one through 10. The key verse is verse seven. The Bible says only the high priest entered the interim, and that only once a year. Garrett is an without now what is the writer to the Hebrews. Been trying to tell us about the Old Testament.

It is a shadow or a copy of things to come. In fact, the Bible tells us five things about the shadow blood. Number one, it was regulated in verse one, number two.

It was set up in verse two, number three, it was secretive. In verse three it was hidden there was no access given number four. It was limited. Why wasn't limited in verse seven in the second part of this non-because these sacrifices of the shadow blood to be offered time without number again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again over and over and over and over. There was never a time that one of those Jewish people could ever sit down and say I am forgiven because the next second he was number number five. It was symbolic Bible tells us in verse nine. All of this is an illustration of the present time. What was the present time. It was the context in which the writer to the Hebrews was writing to these Jewish Christians and those were on the on the verge of accepting that Jesus Christ was and is the Messiah shadow blood within the Bible moves from that point from verse 11 through 14 to the shed blood. This is the apex. This is the pinnacle point around which everything else revolves from verse 11 through 14. The Bible even introduces it.

But when Christ came.

We are given a glimpse in the shadow blood of the construction, the regulations, the importance on the significance of the old Commandant of the Old Testament priest. But when Christ came to shade his blood it all trains.

Three things here about the shed blood of Jesus number one. He came in verse 11 speaks to the absolute complete obedience of Jesus Christ, the son number two. He went through.

That's what the word says in the second part of verse 11 but when Jesus Christ came he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, that is not my math by the way, that when he went through is just simply the word from which we get our word to PS or to penetrate or to tear asunder what was it that Jesus do when he went through, he pierced the old covenant. One of the Bible tell us when Jesus died upon the cross.

What happened in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The old covenant was done away with. Jesus Christ walls and is the complete fulfillment of all Jesus Christ shed his blood walking that carrying a bull or an ox or a call or a lamb. He walked in there on his own recognizance because he is the complete authority of the Almighty God the son of God and because he is the son of God. It is his sacrifice that is completely sufficient to ransom people like you and me from Allison. Nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ himself what he knew became number two. He went right through. He ripped it apart and number three. He played it in full. Verses 12 and verse 13 remind us of that that this once for all, complete sacrifice of Jesus Christ was all that was necessary to pay the price completely for the sin of mankind because it was by his blood that our eternal redemption has been obtained all day shadow blood just so the shed blood of Jesus. Number three. The shared blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every time I get word that there is someone in our congregation someone in our community who is left us in. There will my heart rejoices. Why, because these people in whatever manner they been glassed on now sharing that basic. This particular lady that I'm talking to you about folks for years to come there again to be people write you away. She is way she was blessed when she served the Lord for generations to come. People are going to share in the blessings of one generations. It's an incredible thing.

Well, the question is this. What about the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

How do we share in that what is done for us. While the Bible hear from verse 14 and 15 tells us all about it. First of all, the shed blood of Jesus provided claims. The first part of verse 14, the Bible says, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to cleanse our consciences folks that's with the day of atonement is all about Norman Kipper I mean relentlessly time without number of people trying to claims they consciences trying to find forgiveness going through external regulations. Bible says it's not going to happen.

The shed blood of Jesus Christ for provides complete cleansing number two.

It provided deliverance. Look at the second part of verse 14 that the shed blood of the unblemished offering of Jesus Christ has given to us. Deliverance from its that lead today if you want to read about what those are. You go back into verse 10. They run the amount of food and drink their external regulation. My heart breaks every time I see people today going through rules and regulations friends.

I'm going to tell you this without any apology. That is why I am very careful in this congregation. That is why I do not ask you to stand up and recite the Lord's prayer every week. Why because there's something wrong with the Lord's prayer not on your life. But the Bible says have been delivered from rituals. That's why we don't have a prayer book.

We are not going to stand up and read out of the prayer book and recite as a congregation.

That is why it is very rare that I will ask you to stand up and read off to me and recite the new you and do things and go out and follow rituals and regulations. The Bible says that shed Jesus Christ provides my sex free from that lead.

I am free in Jesus Christ set free by this ritual. I don't want any party within the sound of my voice and coming to this church and say well that preach about the working made us do this and made us do that and follow this ritual in this custom. Therefore, because I followed that ritual. I now have forgiveness, absolutely not. Nothing blood. Jesus Christ will deliver you from you soon. Absolutely nothing. Number three. It provided service in verse 14 that we might serve the living God. Number four. It provides advocacy the shed blood of Jesus Christ in verse 15 the Bible says quite clearly. For this reason Christ is the mediator role of the new covenant. I have an advocate with the father, through the spirit who is God the father, God the son.

I have someone who is mediating for me Jesus Christ himself seated at the right hand of the Father making intercession for me. Number five, it provides an eternal inheritance Bible tells us that those who are called by receive the promised eternal inheritance. In verse 15 and number six the shed blood of Jesus Christ provides freedom look at this. I love this.

Now that he has died as a ransom to set free from the sins committed under the first club folks, this is what it's all about. Guess what Jesus Christ has done for me and what he's done for you. He has saved us free. Some artists I am in this morning. You have been declared free because of the blood of Jesus Christ folks.

Everything about this is about the blood of Jesus. Everything about this is about the blood of Jesus. So we look at shadow blood shed blood shed blood and I'm in a close with the fourth one. See you blood well you say to me pasta what you mean by that. Where the Bible of my friends from verse 23 through 28 talks about the seal blood of Jesus.

How does all of this work, you know something about the blood of Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sins, God has seen the blood of the Lamb. There are no runs, no drips, no errors. This is not the big trip we talking about folks with talking about the precious blood of Jesus Christ listen to me when Jesus died, God declared they will no longer be an alternative. They will never be a need to have any repairs done yet. I don't have to go to Home Depot and get anymore sealant. You don't have to find some alternative method I tell you something God said, according trees lost testament and will know this is my beloved son Andrew will please and when Jesus hung upon the cross and when he said it is finished and he gave his blood gone pretty stamp of approval and he said this is sealed with the seal of my this is my mercy seat. This is not meant for you. My redemption for you and for all eternity. How did he seal his blood well in this passage in three ways.

Number one by his coming to God.

In verse 26 the Bible says, but now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.

How did Jesus seal his blood number one by his coming to the number two by he's going to take a seat.

You go back to verse 24. The Bible says that Christ did not enter a man-made century that was on your copy of the 21 no, he entered heaven itself wanted Jesus Christ do when he entered heaven he was not a copy or a shadow. He was the real thing he was seeing his blood by coming to die but going to take a seat at the right hand of God, and number three by appearing again to bring the word of God says in verse 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin.

Why not to be assumed because that was his first coming back was the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross, when he was born to die, although he's already gone back and taken a seat when he comes again at the second coming. My friends here ceiling at full time and for eternity because it is on that occasion that he is going to bring to salvation all those all waiting for him.

That is exciting to know that when Jesus comes again he will salvation to those who are ready. Question is, are you ready for Dr. Wilton is teaching and preaching from the pulpit.
