Topic: The significance of His Death. 1 corinthians 11:25-26
"After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it,in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the lord's death till he come".
The Apostle Paul, by the spirit, captures for us the words of Jesus the night He was betrayed. Notice what 26th verse of our opening scripture says: "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the lord's death till he come."
First is the significance of His blood that He shed for us, which we'll forever talk about. That's the blood that purges you, cleanses you, and speaks for you when anything goes wrong. 1john 2:2.. His blood was divine; that's the blood that reconciled us to God and by which we've received eternal life. By His blood, we've been justified and saved from wrath. Blessed be God!
When we talk about His blood, we're actually referring to His death. He made a new will - the new testament. And a will is of no effect until the testator dies. So, we proclaim His death, because we know God raised His from the dead, that we might live. His death is the testimony of the will that has been ratified, by which we've also have we obtained remission of sins, we've also received justification by His resurrection from the dead. Man's salvation was granted on basis of His shed blood. Our faith in His resurrection is an absolute faith and declaration of His death: for if there were no death, there would have been no resurrection.
Prayer Point: Dear father, I'm forever grateful for the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for me, and through which I've been reconciled to you and now have eternal life . That blood purges, cleanses me from all unrighteousness, and speaks glorious things on my behalf. in Jesus'name Amen.
