LIFE IN BLOOD OF JESUS
“Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.”
(John 6:53 KJV).
Men of the flesh describe life by the ability of the human heart to pump blood and the functioning of the respiratory system. That is all fine but real life is in Jesus Christ, who gives life beyond the grave, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” (John 11:25-26 KJV).
The life of God has greater significance because of the nature of how that life of God has been imputed to Believers. It was birthed after a mighty deliverance occasioned by Jesus Christ’s vicarious death at Calvary’s Cross. You see, according to the Law of Moses, every soul that sins must die, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 KJV). In this last citation are two extremes. Sin kills and the justification by Jesus Christ gives life. This justification comes because Jesus paid the sin debt by death which death cannot happen except blood is lost. Jesus lost blood as an atoning sacrifice.
The significance of blood here, however, is that it was not ordinary blood but the blood of a sinless Lamb:
“For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”
(Hebrews 9:13-14 KJV).
Now life is in the blood, “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.” (Leviticus 17:11 KJV). Though man had sinned, the ultimate atonement for those that believe in Jesus is His sacrifice at Calvary’s Cross. Therefore, man who has believed and has come into oneness with God may also partake of Holy Communion and have the Blood of Christ run through them. In this way, as Jesus Christ’s atoning sacrifice is without blemish or spot of corruption, so should lives of Believers not be subject to the rudimentary corruption of life in the flesh. They rule and reign with Christ in Heavenly Places.
I admonish you to be in right standing wth Jesus Christ and partake of His Blood that you may have the very life of God. Therein lies capacity and power for exploits.
May you receive the life of God in your spirit that you may live above the flesh and its limitations in Jesus Christ’s Name. Amen!
