“That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ” Ephesians 2:12-13, NKJV.
I remember we had a blood drive at work, and I gave a unit of blood. As I sat in the chair, being pricked with a needle inserted into my vein, I realized my blood was being given to literally help someone else live. As I watched the blood flow from me, I was soberly touched because this is what Jesus did for me.
This is what Jesus did for you.
He hung on the cross and shed not just a unit of blood but every ounce he had for our atonement and redemption. Sin made us far, but the blood of Jesus has brought us near. We once were separated from God, but now we’ve been brought near having forgiveness, a better covenant with better promises, and hope.
The life of the body is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). The blood has done everything you needed it to do for you. Whatever your past may be, what was so tough you went through in your life, the blood has settled it. You are free, and nothing can hold you down. You can live now. That’s the power of the blood.
Prayer: Father, I give You the highest praise, hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus, for the power of Your blood. Help me to put all my faith in its power. All Your promises are yes and amen, and my hope is in Christ. Nothing can hold me back in life today. I can live. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
