The Precious Blood of Jesus I

READ: 1 Pet. 1: 18-19
MORE LESSONS: Matt. 27: 24-31
Bible Reading in One Year: Joshua 19-21

In today’s text, Bible tells us that we are not redeemed with corruptible things but with the precious Blood of Jesus. It goes ahead to describe silver and gold as the corruptible things with which we were not redeemed. This means that silver and gold, as precious as people esteem them, are contemptible and corruptible when compared with the Blood of Jesus. What makes the Blood of Jesus precious is that it is without sin, spot and blemish. The Blood of Jesus is perfect and so when it is engaged, the result it produces is always 100%. In other words, whatever battle is fought with the Blood must result in complete victory, and forgiveness obtained by the Blood is always total. Whatever the Blood washes, does not retain any stain anymore and whenever the Blood heals, no bit of infirmity remains or relapses. Wherever the Blood shows up, everything that is required for the operation is complete.
There are five different areas of shedding of the Blood of Jesus at His crucifixion and each one has its significance and application. They are the head, the body, the hand, the leg, and his side. Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. Matt 27:26 (NIV). A long whip with sharp tools was made, after which his dress was removed and He was given thirty-nine lashes. His blood vessels were torn, His flesh cut and blood flowed out. The first shedding of His Blood at crucifixion was from His body by the whip, which implies that by His stripes we are healed. Satan has no right to afflict your body anymore with any kind of sickness, pain or disease because Jesus has borne the pain for you. Remember the Blood is perfect so it brings 100% healing. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed: 1 Peter 2:24 ( NIV). By the Blood of Jesus, therefore, we have forgiveness of sins and healing. As long as you are a born-again child of God you can by faith reject any type of disease on the basis of the provision of the body of Jesus that was bruised for you.
In my few years in ministry I have seen thousands of people gain their health back by standing on this provision, including healing from several terminal diseases. And Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb.13:8). He can do it again.
