Scripture:


Today's Study on the Blood of Jesus Christ:

6 - Sanctified by His Blood 

Hebrews 13
10. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13. Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
NKJV

The Lord Jesus Christ was crucified outside the city gate of Jerusalem, at a place called Golgotha. In doing this, He was fulfilling the place of the sacrificial lamb, whose blood covered the sins of the people for one year.

Concerning this traditional sacrificial lamb: it's blood was brought into the sanctuary of the temple in Jerusalem to cover the sins of the people; but it's body was burned outside the city limits.

This is what happened when the Lord Jesus died. He was crucified outside the city limits like the sacrificial lamb. But His blood was taken to the sanctuary in God's heaven, where doesn't just cover our sins for one year: but His blood sanctifies from sin for all time, any person who will trust the power of His blood.

So what does it mean that His blood sanctifies us?
To sanctify means to make holy. It means be made clean and consecrated to God.
It means that God is now in charge of my life and future, because, where God is concerned, the blood of Jesus has dealt with my past.
Sanctified means that I'm no longer running my life by my own agenda, but I'm seeking God for His agenda.
Thank God for sanctification!
It frees me from the limits of my own plan for my life, and ushers me into being consecrated to the purpose for which God created me in the first place, when He called me into the world.


Prayer:
Father, thank You for sanctifying me through the blood of the Lord Jesus today.
I lay down my own plans for my life, and I surrender to Yours, which are the best plans for me,
in Jesus' name I pray,
Amen. 

Tomorrow:

See you again tomorrow,
God willing,
when we'll have a new thought
from the Word of God to encourage you!
