Text: Hebrews 9:11-23 (KJV)
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:22
“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”

DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
The story of John Wesley sheds some light on the hidden and not-so-hidden meaning and power in the blood of Jesus. Returning home from church service during the night, the famed evangelist got mugged by a bandit who made away with his meagre money and a couple of literature. “Stop!” Wesley pleaded with the bandit. “I have something more to give you”, he said. As the runaway thief paused, Wesley fired the final salvo. “My friend,” said Wesley, “you may live to regret this life.
If you ever do, here’s something to remember: ‘The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin!” With that, the incredulously unimpressed thief disappeared into the night even as Wesley prayed that God would interrupt his life and save him. Many years later, the confirmation of heaven’s answer to that powerful prayer showed up to greet Wesley after a Sunday service, revealing that the visitor, now a successful businessman, was the bandit that robbed the man of God.
How else can we appreciate the very profound power of that unique blood if not by what this passage conveys very clearly and powerfully? Unlike the animals used for Old Testament sacrifices, Christ’s blood was offered once for sin. The power in His blood saves not just one sinner, but all sinners who believe in Him and look up to Him for salvation. Christ, our High Priest, is the Mediator between God and man; and He lives forever.
His shed blood remains the only solution and propitiation for a sin-ravaged life. He died on the cross at Calvary to demonstrate God’s love for lost humanity.
The blood of Jesus is still efficacious and powerful to save all sinners who believe in Him today. Besides, the blood of Christ provides and delivers additional spiritual and physical blessings for His faithful followers.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The blood of Jesus is the only solution and propitiation for sin.
