Washed In the Blood Daily

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Rev 4:11 Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created.


Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.


Rev 7:14 And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.


Rev 7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands


Created the heavens and the earth. Without the earth we would not exist. God created the earth and made it ready for us and then He created us and gave us the earth.


Psa 115:16 The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah; But the earth hath he given to the children of men.


We've been given the earth. We live upon the earth, this is our realm. We act within this realm, live out our lives here using the earth as we need to in order to survive for as long as we possibly can. God allows us to use the earth as we see fit. Men have built up the earth; planting trees and gardens, keeping waterways clean. Men have also destroyed parts of the earth; tearing down forests, ripping up the ground and making it unliveable, polluting and damming up water ways. We have controlled how we use the earth. No, this isn't a big GREEN blog post today, we are talking about the creator and His creations. God is the creator and we are His creations. God is worthy because He created all things of His will. We creatures need to have clean robes and no I don't mean literally, though having clean clothes is always a good thing.


Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags


Our righteousness, the righteousness of God's creations, us human beings is as filthy rags; so dirty they're not just lightly soiled but filthy. There is only one way to clean them and that's with blood. How contradictory, right? If we're talking literally then taking a filthy rag and soaking it in blood only makes it even more filthy, right? But we're not talking literally we're talking spiritual. Our righteousness is a spiritual thing and we can be spiritually filthy and nothing spiritually filthy will enter heaven. The blood of the Lamb is the only thing that can clean our spiritual filthiness and we cannot manufacture that blood. We could try for a lifetime to manufacture the blood of the Lamb but it would be impossible. There will be no synthetic cleansing blood- it doesn't exist and will never exist though many will tell you that you in fact can cleanse your spiritual self all on your own. The only thing we can do is present ourselves to the Lamb and ask for His cleasing. He won't hand us a gallon bucket of His blood and send us on our way. Spiritually He will offer Himself to us and we accept the offering allowing His blood to wash away our spiritual filthiness.


How often do we present ourselves to the Lamb of God?


Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Joh 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
Joh 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.


Mat 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread


Dan 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime


Luk 1:9 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
Luk 1:10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.


Exo 30:7 And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.


Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.


We are to pray for our daily bread- Jesus is the Bread of Life.


As customary Daniel prayed 3 times a day.


At the time of the incense people are praying. Every day the people are praying. The prayers of the saints ascend before God.


Jesus instituted the Lord's Supper.


1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.


Jesus the Bread of Life which we are to pray daily for, the Bread of Life- Jesus dying for us, broken for us. The blood of the Lamb we are to remember often. So how often are we to present ourselves to the Lamb of God, to receive the spiritual cleansing only He can give? Daily. Often.


Most people if given the opportunity will wash daily if not bathing their entire body they'll at least wash their hands and face. We wash our physical selves and we need to have our spiritual selves cleansed and our robes will be made white in Jesus' blood. We will have HIS righteousness that will make us ready before God.


By the will of God, by the mercy and forgiveness, the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.


Amen.
