Hebrews 9:14 “How much more shall the blood of Christ purge your conscience from dead works?”
DAILY READING Luke 4:31-44; Ezekiel 46-47; Isaiah 65
Blood is life for every human being. The heart pumps it around to all parts of the body through the arteries and capillaries. As blood moves throughout the body, it carries oxygen and nutrients to all the places they’re needed.
Remarkably, blood not only supplies nutrients to our cells, it also cleanses our bodies by removing wastes and toxins. If the blood does not remove impurities and toxins from the cells in the body, they would gradually contaminate and poison the whole body. And this could lead to death. But more than removing pollutants from the body and purifying its organs, the blood also produces antibodies that destroys germs that cause sickness and diseases.
Human blood is indeed remarkable. But much more remarkable and powerful is the blood of Jesus. His blood keeps us alive spiritually, by cleansing us of the sin that brings death and destruction.
1 John 1:7 says “the blood of Jesus God’s Son cleanses us from all sin.”
Sin stains and taints and makes men feel unclean, unworthy, and out of place in God’s presence. We have all had in the past, the experience of an unclean conscience where we felt rotten about ourselves and so unworthy of God. But thank God for the blood of Jesus that has the power to clean us and give us a clear conscience.
Hebrews 9:14 “How much more shall the blood of Christ purge your conscience from dead works?”
His blood does not just remove spiritual impurity, but also gives us the power to break the yoke of sin. This means we do not have to be held bondage or shackled by sin anymore. Through the blood we can escape every trap and temptation of the enemy and live a life that glorifies God. The blood also has the power to destroy the yoke of sickness. Just as antibodies in the human blood fight germs, we release the blood of Jesus to destroy the spiritual root of every infirmity or sickness. By the blood, every satanic agenda against our lives and destiny is rendered useless.
The blood also delivers from destruction. When Rahab put out the red cloth in her window, it was a sign of the blood, and it preserved her family from destruction. By that scarlet chord, she drew a line of blood that spoke from earth to Heaven, before God on her behalf. Likewise today, we invoke the blood of Jesus to speak on our behalf. Today the Blood of Jesus will speak for you against the voices of disasters and violence. The blood will give you the power to overcome every force of the enemy. Truly by the blood you are more than a conqueror in every conflict of life.
PRAYER: Father I thank You for the power that is available to me through the blood of Jesus. By Your grace I know I have overcome every plot of the wicked. Truly I am more than a conqueror in every battle of life in Jesus’ name.
