Blessed Beyond Measure.

Rev 1:5…Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood…

 

Who washed us from our sins in his own blood?

 

Rom 3:24  Being JUSTIFIED freely by his grace through the redemption that is in CHRIST JESUS

Rom_3:25  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the REMISSION OF SINS that are past, through the forbearance of God

 

Rom 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. 

Rom_5:9  Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his BLOOD, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

 

Eph 1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by JESUS CHRIST to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 

Eph 1:6  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 

Eph_1:7  In whom we have REDEMPTION through HIS BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS OF SINS, according to the riches of his grace

 

Col 1:13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his DEAR SON: 

Col_1:14  In whom we have REDEMPTION through HIS BLOOD, even the forgiveness of sins

 

1Pe 1:18  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not REDEEMED with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 

1Pe 1:19  But with the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 

1Pe 1:20  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 

 

Rev 7:14  And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have WASHED THEIR ROBES, and made them white in the BLOOD OF THE LAMB. 

 

1Jn 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEANSETH US FROM ALL SIN.

 

Psa_51:2  Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

 

Psa_51:7  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

 

Heb 9:22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 

 

Our SAVIOR had to die so we could live. Our Savior's love for us is so pure, so extraordinary we can scarcely comprehend it even a little bit. The depths of His love for us, His spoiled creatures, had Him who knew no end, Him who never suffered, take on the very flesh of His creation and all that it entailed. Our flesh is subject to pain, Jesus was subject to pain as He, a God who created us, bore our flesh upon Him who had known no flesh.

Our Savior entered the world of flesh as a baby born. He felt the first pain of hunger which caused Him to cry out for sustenance. He knew our pain first hand. He lived the life of a human being and came face to face with temptations just as we do. While we might say He couldn't know our temptations due to technology and the like- all the temptations have a base source and those base sources have been since sin entered our world.

 

Our Savior, God in flesh, allowed the flesh to be ripped from His bones and His blood began to spill, and it didn't stop spilling as He was hung on the cross.  His blood dripped from the open wounds, from the whip split skin covering His body, as He suffered the agonies of dying. The blood, the blood of God the Son, the powerful blood of cleansing left the dying body of our Savior and spiritually cleanses us even now.

 

We are blessed beyond measure.
