THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN
THE BLOOD!
Lev 17:11
11 For the life of the flesh
is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your
souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
No matter your race or color, your blood is red. (Acts
17:26) Racism recedes when we trace our heritage back to Adam and Eve. The
first hateful sin was the murder of a brother. You can maintain bigotry if you
want to, but it doesn’t coexist with reason and that is true regardless of your
color. It is when our color or condition is thought to have purchased for us
some unearned entitlement that we have trouble and cause trouble.
The death of Jesus was no mere martyrdom. Jesus
was, as John correctly stated, “the lamb of God that taketh away the sins of
the world.” His blood has made atonement for our souls. That atonement is
freely offered as a gift, but it is conditional upon our receiving it.
1 John 1:7
7 But if we walk in the light,
as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of
Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth [keeps on washing] us from all sin.
Dear Lord, my sin was
horrible, therefore my redemption required blood. Thank you for your sacrifice
that provided my atonement. AMEN
