Episode 311: Grateful for the Blood of Jesus

Episode 311 Reading through the various offerings the Israelites were mandated to carry out, in the book of Exodus, I could not but imagine how rigorous and bloody the various rituals and daily rituals must have been. For instance, for the ordination of Aaron and his sons as priests, there were instructions concerning the specific type of animal offerings and sacrifices that must be adhered by, for seven good days. Aside this, two 1 year old lamb must be daily sacrificed by the priests - One in the morning and one in the evening from generations to generations. ““This is to be your regular, daily Whole-Burnt-Offering before God, generation after generation, sacrificed at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. That’s where I’ll meet you; that’s where I’ll speak with you; that’s where I’ll meet the Israelites, at the place made holy by my Glory. I’ll make the Tent of Meeting and the Altar holy. I’ll make Aaron and his sons holy in order to serve me as priests. I’ll move in and live with the Israelites. I’ll be their God. They’ll realize that I am their God who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live with them. I am God, your God.”” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭29‬:‭42‬-‭46‬ ‭MSG‬‬ Reminiscing on Jesus’ sacrifice for mankind, all I could say is ‘Thank You Father for the blood of Jesus. Thank You for the freedom and boldness to access Your presence because of the blood of Jesus Thank You for reconciling us back to God through the blood of Jesus Your son.
