Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Truly this is a very amazing spiritual meal here. The spiritual meat here is very filling. To be able to discern between good and evil we must study, and study means more than merely read the words and let them pass over us. We have to study to … well, read this…
2Ti_2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Study to show yourself approved unto God.
A WORKMAN who isn't ashamed.
RIGHTLY DIVIDING the WORD OF TRUTH.
A workman, we are workmen! We are working, and to NOT be ashamed we must study diligently because only by studying diligently can we divide the word of truth. Dividing the word- comprehending the word of truth.
So let's take the above six verses and study them one by one, slowly.
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Jesus the MEDIATOR. Jesus, God's Son, our Savior- a MEDIATOR.
me·di·a·tor
1. One that mediates, especially one that reconciles differences between disputants.
Pasted from
One who mediates.
One who reconciles.
1Ti_2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
Jesus the mediator, the reconciler- OUR mediator, yours and mine!
We comprehend this, don't we? We know we need Jesus Christ our Savior to reconcile us to God. We have all chosen self and sin over God and all of us are in need of forgiveness so we can be reconciled with God. Jesus alone can reconcile us to God.
Continuing with the verse.. 'to the blood of sprinkling'
Heb 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
Heb 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Heb 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Heb 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Heb 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Blood used to purge sin, to make clean. The HEAVENLY things are purged not with the blood of animals but the BLOOD of the SON of GOD!
We have to realize that our Savior changed things by His death.
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Jesus' blood is better than any other blood ever shed. The most innocent of human beings whose blood is spilled cannot measure up at all to Christ's blood. Forever the human beings have tainted their blood by sin. The son of our first parents, a good son, a son that pleased God in His devotion and in His sacrifice to God- a son with innocent blood, righteous blood.
Mat_23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
As innocent as Abel was, as innocent as any human being can be, His blood was no match to the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Jesus our mediator of the new covenant. The NEW covenant. No longer were people to be under the ceremonial law, the ceremonial covenant that pointed to the Savior who would make perfect that which NO man can make perfect. Once our Savior's blood was shed, no other blood has EVER been needed to be shed. Not a single drop of animal blood signified anything any longer. The only sacrifice ever needed would be Christ's.
Remember this…
Psa_51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Truly God want us to be HIS and we can only be HIS through Jesus Christ our Mediator who shed His innocent blood, blood that is more worthy than any other blood. A price paid so we could be reconciled to God once more.
This is what it is ALL about, a reconciliation between God and man. God and man together as intended, with LOVE.
Please LORD, help us to comprehend Your love for us in the perfect Sacrifice of Your Son! We are not worthy and can never be worthy, Jesus and Jesus alone is worthy.
More on this tomorrow ALL by the grace of our SAVIOR!
Help us LORD, help us to understand, to comprehend all we need to comprehend in YOU.
We would love as You would have us love. Please, Lord, all by YOUR GRACE and MERCY, all by YOUR LOVE!
