[0:00] Hallelujah! Thank you for tuning in to this powerful message by David Entry at Karis Phase 2, our Christ-centered youth services. You can never find Christ outside of the open Word of God. May Jesus Christ reveal Himself to you as you listen.
[0:16] In Ephesians chapter 2, from verse 10, we are going to read from verse 10 to 14, but I'm really going to focus much of my teaching on verse 13.
[0:32] From verse 10, for we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in. We should walk in them.
[0:43] Wherefore, remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called on circumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh made by hands, that at that time ye were without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
[1:10] But now, in Christ Jesus, ye who sometimes were far off are made near or nigh by the blood of Christ.
[1:25] For He is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us. Let me go to verse 15. Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, for to make in Himself of twine one new man, so make Him peace.
[1:49] Father, what we don't know teach us, who we are not make us, where we are not take us. In Jesus' name, to your glory. Amen. Amen. The text says, yes, last week I was talking about how we, I tried to take it from Genesis, and I told you why God allowed the meat eaters to eat meat.
[2:20] Why? Why did God allow eating of meat? The blood needed to be shed, so that the meat can be eaten, and the blood. So God gave the children of Israel instructions that do not eat the blood thereof.
[2:36] Yeah. God said, only be sure that thou eat not. Only be sure that thou eat not the blood. Why?
[2:46] For the blood is the life, and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. You are free to eat the flesh, but the blood.
[2:58] And what's special about the blood? Because the blood is the life. So the life of a thing is in the blood. Many years ago, I think one of the American presidents was so sick, for a long time they couldn't find cure for his sickness.
[3:16] They tried, and the doctors realized that the sickness was, he had an infection in the blood. So if the blood has infection, the best thing is to remove the blood and put a new blood.
[3:30] So they decided to drain his blood out. So they can find something, or maybe the body will produce some new blood, or the blood was infected. So let's drain all the blood out.
[3:40] But what they didn't know, medical science had not developed to realize that life is in the blood. So if you drain out the blood, what have you done? You've drained out the life.
[3:52] He said in the scripture, Deuteronomy 12, 23, it says that, for the blood is the life. Why are we not supposed to eat the blood? Because the blood is the life.
[4:02] Now, in the New Testament, in Acts chapter 15, when there was a problem in the church of, there wasn't actually a problem in the church of Antioch, but there's, from verse 1, some Judaizers came from Jerusalem, and they said to the new believers, the Gentile believers, that except you are baptized, or sorry, you are circumcised, according to the law of Moses, you cannot be saved.
[4:26] They said you cannot be saved except you are circumcised. Where is that coming from? Salvation has no God to do with anything you do physically. But according to the law of Moses, blood, I explained it, blood must flow so that you can be in covenant.
[4:41] That's the purpose for circumcision, shedding of blood. But it stands for two things. You shed the blood, or first of all, you remove the full skin. The flesh of the skin be put aside.
[4:52] And when you put the flesh aside, you bleed. So the flow of blood is what seals the covenant. The old covenant was sealed by blood. In Hebrews chapter 9, verse 22, it says that according to the law, everything, Hebrews chapter 9, verse 22, according to the law, almost all things are purified with blood.
[5:14] And without the shedding of blood, there was no remission. Remission is taken away. Remission is removal. There is no remission of sins. Now when you say something has been remitted into your account.
[5:27] It has been sent into your account. So you can't send away sin without blood. So that very time Adam and Eve sinned, because God is a God of love, the devil thought God was going to cast them out completely.
[5:41] But God said, I'm not going to cast them out. You devil, I'm telling you, the seed of the woman will bruise your head. You will bruise his heel. But the seed of the woman will crush your head.
[5:56] Of the devil, talking about the coming of the Messiah, who is going to. So I'm not going to kick them off. And Bible says that. And God, you know, when they sinned and God came into the garden, Genesis chapter 3, from verse 10, the Bible says, verse 9 actually, they ate what they are not supposed to eat, and then they, verse I think 7 or 8, somewhere there.
[6:19] And Bible says, their eyes were open, and they knew they were naked. And they sewed fake leaves together and made themselves coverings, you know. So they covered their nakedness.
[6:31] Even Adam and Eve in the garden were trying to cover their nakedness. Adam and Eve, they didn't have clothes. They didn't have anything. Because there was no teller. There was no teller. It's only the two of them.
[6:43] But they said, you know, only husband and wife. But still, they said, let's cover ourselves. They made leaves to cover themselves. But you know what? Their leaves were not good covering.
[6:55] Leaves don't do cover. Leather is better. But how can you get leather? So, so, Bible says that. And when God drove them out of the garden, he made leather skin to cover them.
[7:10] They were the first people to wear leather. And as for Adam and his wife, their Lord God made tunics of skin. How do you get skin without shedding blood?
[7:20] So, the only way God can have a certain level of interaction with them was to sacrifice an animal and get their blood to cover.
[7:31] Because without shedding of blood, you can't remit sins. You can't suspend sins. So, the sin will be in between Adam and God. So much that God can have dealings with Adam.
[7:43] Are you following me? God can have dealings with Adam. Because the sin will so much be in the face of God. And God is too holy. He can't behold sin. He can't deal with you with sin.
[7:54] And so, God had to put in the system of blood. Because when God created man and created the world, he made sure life was always in the blood.
[8:04] And so, for life to go, blood must go. He told Adam and Eve, the day you eat this, the very day you will surely die. The devil said, he's lying. You won't die.
[8:16] He said, the day you eat, you will die. And so, death must be given for life. If God said somebody, you must die, according to God's justice system, he accepts substitutes.
[8:27] He accepts substitutes. So, if you are owing money, if you owe her 10,000 pounds, he said, give me my money, else the bay leaves are coming.
[8:41] And you don't have it. And that's your brother or your friend. He's very rich. And he said, don't worry, I'll pay for me. She can't say, I won't take his money.
[8:52] Money is money. It's, I paid you. You get the money you paid her. You don't have problems with her. Even though the money is not yours. Do you understand that? That's substitute. It's called substitutionary atonement.
[9:09] Substitutionary. So, it's not, somebody else is doing it as a substitute for somebody. Atonement is removal of barrier between God and man.
[9:20] Or, better still, atonement is covering. So, if you sin, you must produce your blood to cover. The Bible says in Ezekiel, the soul that sinned must die.
[9:32] Ezekiel chapter 18, is it 20 or so? The soul that sinned must die. That's 18, 20. The soul that sins. I can't hear you. The soul that sins.
[9:43] The soul that sins. Read what is in the Bible, on the screen. The soul that sins. Shall die. So, that means when you sin, you are supposed to die.
[9:54] Why? Now, if your blood goes, that means it's standing for your life. But God wanted Adam and Eve to live. So, he had to put in, he activated the substitutionary clause.
[10:08] So, that an animal can die in their place. And why must the animal die? Because he needed the blood to cover their sins. So, he can deal with them.
[10:19] But now that they are naked and the animal is dead, he could use the skin of the animal to cover them. So, God became their tailor. Wow. After getting the blood to cover their sins.
[10:34] This is very important. So, when Adam and Eve sinned, their sins must be covered. From that time, it's always been like that. That's how can we ended up eating animals.
[10:46] Because we need the blood. We needed the blood. The blood was needed. So, once you get the blood, the rest of whatever you do to it, the blood, ah. In fact, there's a place in the Old Testament.
[10:57] It talks about how the blood is sacred. The blood is sacred. Get the blood. Don't touch the blood. And then the rest. Whatever you do with it, it doesn't matter.
[11:10] In fact, in Exodus chapter 12, before they left Egypt, God gave them an instruction. That on the third day, get a lamb. And let the priest examine the lamb.
[11:20] Make sure the lamb is not sick. It's faultless. And then he says that on the seventh or third day, slaughter the lamb. But when you slaughter the lamb, eat the meat.
[11:31] Eat the flesh. But don't touch the blood. Because the blood is for atonement. The blood is covered. And he said, sprinkle the blood on the house where you are eating the meat. And then on the doorpost of the house, use the blood to mark the doorpost.
[11:46] Because that night, the angel of death is going to pass through the land. He said, but when I see the blood, I'll pass over you. When I see the blood, I'll pass over you. Say the blood. The blood.
[11:57] So God gave them instructions. Don't eat blood. He has always told them, never eat blood. So when the problem arose in the Antioch church, and they were now, the Judaizers were insisting that these guys be circumcised.
[12:13] Paul and Barnabas, they traveled with those people giving the problem back to Jerusalem, to the apostles at Jerusalem, that let's sort out this matter.
[12:24] And then they had a thorough discussion. And then they were thinking, why do we put a burden on the neck of the Gentile believers? Burden which we know our fathers were able to bear.
[12:37] We couldn't bear it. We couldn't handle it. Why do we put it on them? It's not fair. He said, okay, so let us write a letter to them and tell them that they should abstain from fornication.
[12:48] Ah, in the church. Oh, yes, it's in your Bible. They shouldn't, they don't need circumcision, but they certainly need abstinence. But that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality.
[13:09] Sexual immorality, it means it includes fornication, pornography, any other thing that has sexual connotation, you do with someone who is not married to you.
[13:24] I don't know if you have done something with someone you are not married to before. Someone is already falling.
[13:34] The pressure is getting. But that thing can be so nice, you know.
[13:53] You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. It can be so nice and so destructive that afterwards you are not happy at all when you are a good Christian.
[14:04] The sign that shows that you are likely to be going to hell or you are not a serious Christian is after all that, you feel comfortable. No sheep falls into mud and is comfortable.
[14:20] But put pig in the mud. It's the unnatural habitat now. A pig in mud is normal. But sheep in mud is...
[14:32] I don't like this. One of the signs that shows that you are genuinely working with God is the way you feel so bad after singing, after watching pornography.
[14:44] Yeah. After kissing her, you feel so bad. Some people are very quiet.
[14:55] I don't know. I don't know why. People are... It's coming home. Yeah. Coming home. But when you are doing it, you knew it.
[15:07] But sometimes you can't stop. Let's talk about it, okay?
[15:22] Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Because the preacher will bring you deliverance. Amen. You don't like what you are doing, but you don't seem to have the strength.
[15:35] That's why you be careful how you judge another Christian because he's doing something. She's doing something. Who doesn't like it? But naturally, you are drawn to some things.
[15:48] He said, tell them to abstain or avoid food offered to idols. That's idolatry.
[15:59] When you look at the scriptures, usually idolatry always go hand in hand with sexual immorality. Anytime you see idolatry, sexual immorality is around the corner.
[16:11] Anytime you see sexual immorality, idolatry, they are twins. They go together. So he said, tell them, let's write to them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, and from meat of strangled animals, and from blood.
[16:26] You see where they put their blood? This is New Testament. New Testament. He put their blood, eating of blood, like fornication. Why strangled animal?
[16:39] Because the blood doesn't flow. Why? So the verse 29, they read the letter, and then the letter got to them. They read it, and it says that you abstain, that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality.
[16:58] That's all. If you can stay away from this, you are good. You don't need circumcision. You don't need any ritual. You don't need anything. Just stay away from this. In the New Testament. Isn't that interesting?
[17:10] Yeah. Blood! Blood! Blood! Abstain from blood. From blood? Yes. Why? What is this about blood?
[17:23] Because it says the life is in the blood. Blood! And it's for sacred things. For holy things. So God covered Adam and Eve by he himself slaughtering an animal, receiving the blood for atonement, and using the skin to cover them.
[17:41] So when Noah came from the ark, he offered an animal. God said, I bless animal for your eating. That's why Cain and Abel, I said, Abel produced sacrifice that had blood, because he produced sacrifice sheep.
[17:56] And blood is what? The sacrifice without blood does not appease God, or is not appealing to God, because God cannot see the image of his son in that.
[18:07] The only sacrifice that can please God is the sacrifice of his son. And so for it to look like his son, it must be blood-based.
[18:19] That's why even your sacrifices, stretching his feather, in your Christian work, your sacrifices must cost you. You might not have to shed your blood, but you can feel that this seed I'm sowing is blood.
[18:35] I don't know if you know what I'm talking about. Sometimes it's so sincere, you can't tell it's blood. So God put the systems, but why not?
[18:50] What's the big deal about blood? Listen to this. You will like this. Blood is a very common theme from Genesis to Revelation. Unless you have not read the Bible.
[19:01] But instead, you see, blood was in Genesis. Blood, blood, blood. The offering of blood. From Genesis to Revelation. Revelation still talks about blood. Revelation chapter 12 verse 11.
[19:12] They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb. The blood. They overcame by the... What is it about blood that it's used for overcoming? Revelation chapter 5 verse 9.
[19:24] You have redeemed us by your blood. By your blood. By your blood. By your blood. By your blood. By your blood. By your blood. Revelation chapter 1 verse 5. It talks about how the blood of the Lamb.
[19:36] We have redemption. First born from the dead. And the ruler of the kings of the earth. To whom... Yeah. To whom... Who loved us and washed us from our sins.
[19:46] How? In his blood. That tells you blood has always been something very special before God. Not every blood. The blood of Christ. But if you begin to commonize blood.
[19:58] Very soon. You take for granted the blood of the Lamb. So God's people were supposed to handle blood with respect. Why?
[20:08] Because of the blood of the eternal sacrifice. Is that what you're learning something? Isn't it amazing? Say blood.
[20:19] Blood. Say blood. Blood. So... Thank you Jesus. God said...
[20:31] So you see from Genesis. Through our scripture. There's always provision of blood. Presentation of blood. Now... He said...
[20:41] You were once Gentiles. Alienated from... It says that... Gentiles in the flesh. Who were called on... I explained this last week. By the...
[20:52] By the... By what is called circumcision made in the flesh by hands. Verse 12. Therefore... Verse 12. That at that time you were without Christ.
[21:04] Ah... I like this. This... This is very good text for everybody to respect. It said... At that time... That... At that time... Say at that time.
[21:14] At that time. What time? The time when you were there. At that time... You were without Christ. And... Being alienated... Or aliens from the commonwealth of Israel.
[21:26] And strangers from the covenants of promise. Having no hope without God in the world. Yeah. Very scary state. Why... Why...
[21:36] Why... Listen... Why would you go into a relationship with somebody who faced this bill? It's all... Why... He's a good person.
[21:47] But... But... Does he have hope? Without Christ. Alien from the commonwealth of Israel. Strangers from the covenants of promise. Without hope. Without God in this world.
[21:58] You want... You want to be your husband? You want to be your wife? Oh... But she's so cute. She's so... She's so... No, no, no, no. That's not a fact. She's so hot.
[22:10] You can't... You can't use... Just the outward. Because life is not about what you just see. That's why... I don't see why... You should date...
[22:20] You should date... Somebody... Who is not in Christ... As a Christian. Some people tell me... I don't mind. Well... It's up to you. It's up to you.
[22:30] But it doesn't make any spiritual sense. If you understand spiritual things... Look at the person you are going to date. He's without God in the world. Without hope.
[22:41] If he dies right now... Bible says Christ in you. The hope of glory. This one hasn't had Christ. Doesn't have hope. But... Pastor, we are all like that. Not all of us. Who told you? Look at the next verse. They'll say, but...
[22:52] But... Now... Somebody say, but now. You remember? At that time... But now. At that time... But now. At that time... But now.
[23:03] At that time... But now. At that time... But now. You are in the but now. My darling, I will not take my life...
[23:15] To make it part of someone who is in at that time... When... Whilst I'm in but now. Yeah. Yeah. Oh! Oh! You cannot be my best friend...
[23:27] If you are still at that time. Nah, nah, nah, nah. If your best friend is an armed robber... You are on your way to prison.
[23:40] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have to be an armed robber... But you'll be in prison. Because you'll be aiding and abetting. They use your car. You gave him the ride.
[23:50] You drove him to the duration. And you are waiting for him. He said, I won't do it. But I will help you. I will just be there for you. Thank God... When you were keeping the boys' cocaine in your bag...
[24:01] Please, it didn't stop you. Yes. At that time! At that time. At that time. Why would I be in but now?
[24:12] And be strong allies of people who are still... At that time. Without God. Without hope. We are aliens from the covenants of... We are strangers from the covenants... Aliens of the covenants...
[24:23] Strangers from the covenants of... Without Christ. Without hope. Without God in the world. Without... But thank God for but now. He said, but now...
[24:35] In Christ Jesus... You who once were... Far off... Have been brought near. How? My goodness. Now... This is where my message is about to start.
[24:46] How did you get in? How did you get here? How were you brought to the... How? How did that happen? You were so far. How did that happen that now?
[24:57] Now... You are in. So when he said, but now... In Christ... You were once far off. That means that... When you were far off... You were without Christ. You were without... Aliens from the commonwealth of Israel.
[25:09] You were... Strangers from the covenants of promise. We were... Without God. Without hope. Without God. But now that we are in Christ... We have come there... And all these things...
[25:20] Is foreign to us. How did you come? He said... Let's all read the verse... 13 out loud... From the back now. Let's go. Without now...
[25:31] In Christ Jesus... You who once were... Have been brought near... By the bladder... Read it again. Without now... In Christ Jesus... You who once were...
[25:42] Have been brought near... For the last time... Louder... But now... In Christ Jesus... You who once were... Far off... Have been brought near...
[25:53] By the blood of... Shout hallelujah! Hallelujah! How were you brought near? By the blood of Christ. How were you brought near? By the blood of Christ.
[26:05] Do you see how... The cross of Christ... Is pivotal? Is determinative. Without the cross of Christ... None of us could come here. So everything...
[26:16] Started in the cross. That's why Christians... Wear the cross. Oh I just realized... I don't have a cross. I wear. It's in my heart anyway. Don't let anyone...
[26:30] Intimidate you. Not wearing a cross... Doesn't make you non-Christian. Wearing a cross... Doesn't make you a Christian. But there's nothing wrong... With the cross. Well the cross. Say the cross. The cross. The blood.
[26:42] In Colossians chapter 1... Verse 20... He talks about... Ah... Pastor... The blood of his cross. The blood of his cross. The blood of his cross.
[26:54] Where did he get... The blood from? By the cross. Through the blood of his cross. When he went on the cross... He wasn't just dying. He was releasing his blood. Because...
[27:06] Because... The justice... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The justice of God... Demands blood... For sins. Don't forget that. You should write that down.
[27:17] The justice of God... Demands blood... For sins... To be remitted. So... As I said earlier on... Hebrews chapter 9... Verse 20...
[27:27] 22... For without the shedding of blood... There is no... Remission. That means remission of sins. Without blood. So if... Sins must be remitted...
[27:38] Blood must flow. Then... It begs the question... What sort of blood... Are you talking about? So in the past... God said... I don't want human blood.
[27:50] Because it's not good enough. I want human beings to live. Not die. But if I take their blood... They will die. But they have to live. So let me give you...
[28:01] The way to do it himself. Slaughtered an animal... And projected the blood. So from that time... People could slaughter animals... And the blood can be kept secret... For atonement of sins. So...
[28:13] They kept shedding blood. According to Moses' law... When God gave Moses... He said... I want to have dealings with you. But blood must come between me and you.
[28:24] Because of sins. So... They had to... They... They... They... They have to... In fact... What they were doing is...
[28:35] Once every year... Once every year... Once every year... Once every year... The high priest... You know... The high priest... You know what he does?
[28:45] The high priest will go before... The... Okay... There's... There's something called... Holies of Holies. We have... The tabernacle... Where God is the...
[28:56] It signifies the... Presence of God... Amongst the people of God. It's in the tabernacle. And in the tabernacle... It has three chambers. We have the... Outer court. So two main...
[29:06] Outer court... And the inner court. So... There's an outer court... Inner court. But within the inner court... There is the... Holies of Holies. And no human being... Is permitted to go there.
[29:18] Apart from... The high priest. That's why Jesus is also... Our high priest. The high priest... Is the only one... Authorized... By the justice of God...
[29:28] To enter the... Holies of Holies. And you know what was in... The Holies of Holies? The Holies of Holies... Had the... Ark of the Covenant. The Ark of the Covenant... Is the...
[29:39] Symbol... Of God's presence... With the people of Israel. So when they move... They have to carry it... With them. So when they settled... When they had settlement... God told Moses... In Exodus...
[29:49] Exodus chapter 25... Build the tabernacle... And put the Ark there. And God gave him... Even the tabernacle he built... God gave him... Straight specifications. God said... You can't build anything...
[30:00] For yourself. You are building this... To house me. Let me show you... How it looks like... Where I am. So you can mimic... And replicate something here. And so even Moses... Was strictly warned that...
[30:11] See to it... That you do it... According to the... Pattern showed you... On the mountain. Yes. In Hebrews chapter 9... It says it very... It says it clearly there... Hebrews chapter 9... That Moses was strictly...
[30:23] Worn... To build it... According to the... Pattern showed you... God showed you... The pattern... The measurement... The dimensions... Everything... He said... Do it exactly...
[30:33] The way I showed you... The pattern... Why? Because you are building... Something to house me... Temporarily... Then it must look like... What I already have...
[30:43] Hebrews chapter 8... And chapter 9... Is there clearly... I think... Is it 8, 7 or something... Built it... According to the... Pattern showed you...
[30:53] According to the... Sister of age 5... Who saved... A copy of the... Shadow of the heavenly things... As Moses was... Divinely instructed... When he was about... To make the tabernacle...
[31:04] For he said... See that you make... All things... According to the... Pattern shown you... On the mountain... He's going to build something... And so... He built it... And the tabernacle...
[31:14] Watch this... The tabernacle... Had... What is called... The cherubs... Cherubs... So... On each end of the tabernacle... Is like... Symbol of angels... With wings...
[31:26] And the wings... Go like this... Come... And... Come... So... This is the... We are all part of the tabernacle...
[31:36] And two angels... It's called the cherubs... The wings are like this... And like this... So... Show us... A picture of the... Arc of the tabernacle...
[31:46] And... Can you show us a picture... So... That's the... And then... The middle of... In between... The... The... The...
[31:57] The... The... So the arc of the covenant... It's a... It's like... A... A container... And it has... Um... You... You... Hold it...
[32:07] That... Wooden... Structures on the side... Only the priest can carry it... Nobody's supposed to touch it... One day... One day... They will... They put it on a cart...
[32:17] And it was going to fall... And Uzzah touched it... God... Strictly... Don't touch... It's like... Uzzah tried to touch... Try and touch me... And God... Don't touch me... Yeah, and it died.
[32:28] It died. And so David said, don't bring that thing to my house. And they took it to the house of Obedidom. And then David was told in 2 Samuel 6 that the house of Obedidom is being blessed because of the ark there.
[32:44] So David went to go and bring it to his city. David, yeah. And then this time he brought it with dancing. Anyway, so the top of it is called the mercy seat.
[32:54] Now, the mercy seat is not a chair. The mercy seat is, you know, in between the angel's wings.
[33:05] You see that platform there? It's called the mercy seat. But it's a container. So when you open the lid, it had three things inside. It had the Ten Commandments inside or the commandments, the tablets.
[33:17] It had the Aaron rod that buried it. And it also had pot of manna, the manna they ate. He said, put some, don't eat it. Put it in the ark of the covenant. Aaron's rod that bad head.
[33:29] Put it in the ark of covenant as a sign against people who rebel against church. Including those who opened their mouth to attack churches on Instagram. TikTok.
[33:41] Yes. Thank you. That's the mercy seat. You see, inside it, you have, I think it should have come on the bigger screen. But thank you now. Inside it, we have the table of stones.
[33:52] That's the commandment. The gold pot of manna and Aaron's rod. When you read, I think, I think Numbers 22, it tells you why God told Aaron and Moses to put Aaron's rod inside it.
[34:05] He said that put the rod inside it so it will be a sign, perpetual sign against the rebels. Yeah. It's a sign.
[34:15] God doesn't like rebels. At all. So that's the cherubim. Cherubim, the crown. So the mercy seat, watch this.
[34:27] The mercy seat is where the priest, thank you guys, thank you. The priest, are you bored? Where the priest, the high priest will go into the holies of holies.
[34:41] No one goes there. Even the high priest cannot go there apart from once in a year. And if he makes a mistake and goes there without blood, he's finished. In Hebrews chapter 9, it says that the high priest goes there.
[34:55] Look at from verse 7. Hebrews chapter 9 from verse 7. Hebrews chapter 9 from verse 7. Wow. All right. This is talking about the holies of holies.
[35:08] But into the second part, the high priest went alone. How many times? Once in a year. So the second part is the holies of holies. He goes there once a year.
[35:22] Who does he go with? What if he has sinned and when he goes there, he dies? Who can go and bring him out? So when he's going there, they put a rope, they tie a rope around his feet and there he goes.
[35:35] And then the high priest, his garment, he has some tassels. And the high priest's garment is made with little, little bells. That's their gown.
[35:45] So anytime the high priest is coming, you hear his coming. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. Wow. High priest is very nice, you know. Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring. The high priest is coming. And so when he goes into the holies of holies, they keep hearing, ring, ring, ring.
[35:59] Oh, he's alive. Ring, ring. But if they don't hear anything, hey. No one can go there. So then they start pulling him out. They pull the rope and pull him out.
[36:11] The high priest went, watch this. This is interesting. Went alone once a year, not without blood. Do you see that? Don't dare come into this place without blood. Blood?
[36:23] He said, he cannot go not without blood. He cannot go without blood. You have to go with blood. He will go with blood to present the blood.
[36:33] And where does he take the blood? On the mercy seat. That's the seat of mercy. Once he presents the blood, it's like the blood for the people who have sinned, the Israelites. So God's judgment gets suspended because mercy.
[36:49] Blood has been presented. So now God can deal with it. Now, look at verse 10. Verse 11. Verse 12. Verse 13.
[37:01] Verse 14. Now, verse 10 says that. Okay, let's go to the verse. Let's jump straight to verse 12. I think it will make it to save my time. Verse 12. Okay, let's go to verse 11.
[37:14] I think. Verse 11. Ah, when I hear Christ, something does. Ah, the name Christ is so sweet. Hmm.
[37:27] But Christ came as a high priest of good things to come. With the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with. See, Moses' own was made by hands.
[37:39] But he's coming into a heavenly tabernacle, which was not made by hands. That is not of this creation. So Christ is operating in a tabernacle. But the tabernacle is not of this creation.
[37:51] Amen. And then, verse 12. Verse 12 says that. Christ cannot go without blood. He said, not with.
[38:01] No, sorry. Not with the blood. The high priest who go. Where does he get the blood from? The animals. Yes. Because he can't go with his own blood. How can you present your own blood? You are dead now.
[38:13] So they had to go with the blood of another. Ah. They went with the blood of another. Now, not with the blood of goats or cows, but with his own blood, he entered into the most holy once and for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
[38:30] Shout out hallelujah. Hallelujah. He went there with his own blood. How can you present your own blood and be alive? So when he died on the cross, the blood of his cross, which he shed, he resurrected to take the blood to present.
[38:45] Ah. To present. To present before the throne of majesty. In Hebrew chapter 8, verse 1 talks about Christ is seated on the majesty on high.
[38:58] Verse 2 talks about he is our minister. What? Christ is our minister. Minister Christ. I'm not faking. It's in your Bible. It's your Bible.
[39:09] A minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which God himself erected. No man. No morons. Not the ones the high priests were using. Moses erected that. But this one, it is God himself who erected it.
[39:24] God erected. And look at the next verse. Oh. For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifice. Therefore, it was necessary that this one, who is that this one talking about?
[39:35] Christ. Also, if he's a high priest, he also must have something to offer. You cannot go empty-handed. You have to have something. Am I preaching at all? Are you sure you are learning something?
[39:48] Are you sure it's not too high for you? God let it. God let it. He went with something in his hands. Something in his hands. Something in his hands. That is why he had to die first.
[40:00] His blood was a sacred thing. In 1 Peter, I'll come back to verse 3. In 1 Peter chapter 1, verse 18 and 19, it says that, For you are not being redeemed with silver and gold from your corrupt, oh my goodness, knowing that you are not redeemed with corrupt things, and from, with greedy, with corrupt things like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received from the tradition of your father.
[40:24] But look at verse 19. Precious blood. Precious blood. Oh my God. But with the precious blood. With the precious blood. Redeemed with the precious blood.
[40:36] Say precious. Say precious. Charles, the Lord are precious. Precious. With the precious blood of Christ. As a lamb without blemish. Or without, that's how, what has been used to redeem us.
[40:50] He said, for you were slain. And you have redeemed us to God. By your blood. Revelation chapter 9, verse 5. Chapter 5, verse 9. You have redeemed us to God. You have redeemed us to God.
[41:00] For thou, the sang and you saw. You are worthy to take the straw and to open his seal. For you were slain and have redeemed us to God. By your blood. Out of every tribe.
[41:11] Every tongue. Every people. Every nation. It doesn't matter your background. Christ's blood can work for you. Please sit down. The blood of Jesus.
[41:27] The blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus. Hebrews chapter 8, verse 3.
[41:38] He had to go with something. He must also have something to offer. Look at the next verse. I like it. The next verse says that, for if he were on earth, he wouldn't be a priest.
[41:50] Since there were priests who offered the gifts according to the law. There are people doing that job. But they couldn't do offer gifts in heaven. Oh, yes. But look at the next verse.
[42:01] Verse 5. We are going to verse 6. Who served a copy? What they were serving and what the priests were doing on earth is a copy of the heavenly things. Oh, yes. It's a copy and a shadow.
[42:11] It's not a real thing. How many of you have eaten shadow of a beggar before? Yeah. Yeah. When you miss your mom or your dad or your best friend, your sister, your brother.
[42:30] You miss them and then you have a picture. I miss you, sister. It's not kissing. It's not kissing. She doesn't even know. It's paper. It's paper.
[42:42] It's a shadow. It's not a real deal. Someone learned something. He said, what Moses, what the Old Testament, what was happening in the Old Testament.
[42:56] It was a shadow. It was just a copy. I know. There are people. I don't know what I want to say. I was going to say it's not bad or it's not bad.
[43:08] Let me leave it. People are wearing replica balanciages. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
[43:20] So he says that what they were serving in the days of Moses was replica. The original. He says that as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle.
[43:32] For he said, see that you make all things according to the pattern shown you. Why? Because it's original. So whatever you are doing, it must be a reflection.
[43:43] It must mimic the original. But you haven't been to heaven to see it. So God who gave you the structure, gave you the pattern the way it looks like. Because the original, the main guy will come and do it later. That's Jesus.
[43:54] The minister himself. He's going to do it. And so look at verse 6. But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry. Jesus. Jesus has a ministry.
[44:07] Yes. It's called Jesus International. International Ministries. Jesus. Jesus. But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry.
[44:19] When you say more excellent, it's relative. That means you're comparing it to something else. When you say more excellent, that means you are talking about something. There's something else in mind.
[44:29] Because if this is more excellent, what is the more excellent? So it's a relative terminology. That means that what the Old Testament and the religious systems were offering is low grade.
[44:43] When it comes to its achievement. Jesus' ministry is more excellent. Jesus has received a more excellent ministry. In as much as he is a mediator of a better covenant.
[44:55] That means the first covenant was really not good. It was good, but it's not good. He said this one, it might be good, but this is better. Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
[45:10] Wow. Wow. Better covenant established on better promises. So when you read that chapter 9, then it takes you into that tabernacle, how it was built.
[45:21] Then it tells you how the high priest had to appear before the holies of holies, not without blood. Because if he goes without blood, he has his breach of contract.
[45:32] And you appear there to offer blood. Offer blood. In Hebrews chapter 5, verse 1 and 2 and 3. It said, every high priest is appointed.
[45:45] Oh man. For every high priest is taken from amongst men. Or every high priest is taken from amongst men. It's appointed from men in things pertaining to God. Why? That he will offer both gifts and sacrifices for sin.
[45:59] So if you are a high priest, two things. Number one, you must be like the people you are representing. You must be taken from them so you can identify with them. And number two, if you are a high priest, you must have something to offer for sins and sacrifices.
[46:16] So in what way is Jesus also a high priest? Number one, he is like us. That's why he has to be a human being. If he was God, there's no way God can be a high priest. A high priest must be taken from amongst men.
[46:29] That's why Jesus had to become a human being. So because the fact that he's a human being, he is qualified to represent human beings. So he was a man taken from amongst men. So Jesus had to be taken from.
[46:40] And number two, he must have something to offer. What are you going to give him to offer? Nothing. His own blood. So Jesus also had to offer his own blood. For sins.
[46:52] But not for his sins. Because he didn't have sins. For the sins of the people. Hebrews chapter 9. I'll run up. Hebrews chapter 9. Verse 12 again. Look at it.
[47:03] No, we started from verse 11. Let's do 11. It says, But Christ came as a high priest of good things to come. With a greater and a more perfect tabernacle.
[47:13] Not made with hands. That is not of this creation. I've explained that already. Now look at the next verse. We are going to verse 14. Interesting. Not with blood of goats and bulls.
[47:25] One. Watch this. When the high priest is going before the throne of God. Or the holies of holies. What must he go with? Blood. Okay.
[47:35] Where do they get the blood from? In the Old Testament, you slaughter the goods. You kill the... Okay. Let's jump to chapter 10. And then we'll come back. Chapter 10. 1, 2, 3, 4.
[47:46] Verse 1. Verse 2. Verse 3. Verse 4. Hebrews chapter 10. He said, For the law, having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continuously year by year, make those who approach God perfect.
[48:06] 2, for then would they not have ceased to be offered. For the worshipers, once purified, would not have had no more conscience of sins.
[48:18] But that means that they keep doing it because the thing was not purifying. It was just covering. It wasn't taking away sins. Behold the Lamb of God. Who does what?
[48:29] Takes away. He doesn't cover sins. He takes it away. So it says that it couldn't take away sin. So they have to offer it over and over and over. Look at verse 3.
[48:40] And we are going to verse 4. Verse 3 says, But in those sacrifices, there is a reminder of sin every year. Every year you go to remind you, you are still sinful. You are still sinful. You got to do this again.
[48:51] By the time the high priest finishes living, it feels like, oh my boy, we have to do this again. Because the thing is not really working. But temporarily, God has put it in place so that we can have a sense of connectivity with him.
[49:01] That is called the covenants of promise. It is a covenant. It is also a covenant. But our covenant is better than that covenant. With the Jews.
[49:12] And so that is why we do not slaughter goats. That is why we do not bend candles. That is why we do not do all those rituals. Because it is not necessary. Those times that we are doing that, that we are foreshadowing what Christ is about to do.
[49:26] But now Christ has come. Why do we have to sacrifice animals? We do not need to sacrifice any animal or goat. If there is anything to sacrifice, it is your life for Christ.
[49:39] It is your life for Christ. Not your dead body. You cannot do anything with your dead body. Because God does not use dead bodies. You have to be alive.
[49:54] And then your body is a sacrifice for God. So your boyfriend can come to it. Yes. Your body. Okay. Some people's face changes now.
[50:07] Your body is a sacrifice to God. Your body. It says. So Bible says. Romans chapter 12. Verse 1 and 2.
[50:17] It says. I beseech you therefore, brethren. That you present. You are come on. That you present what? Your bodies. Present your bodies.
[50:29] Your bodies. Not your money. Your bodies. Tell somebody. My body belongs to Jesus. My body belongs to Jesus. It didn't sink down.
[50:42] Tell somebody. I mean it. My body belongs to Jesus. My body belongs to Jesus. I mean it. I mean it. Am I preaching okay?
[50:56] It said. Present your bodies as a living. Not dead sacrifice. What is God going to do with your dead sacrifice? As a living sacrifice. As a living sacrifice.
[51:08] So. They presented the blood of God. Hebrew chapter. Hebrew chapter 10 verse 3. But. Those sacrifices. But in those sacrifices.
[51:19] There's a reminder of sin every year. Now look at verse 4. Very strong. Look at. Look at this. Look at this. Can you punch this in the Bible? Read it. Read it again.
[51:32] Read it again. So why were they using it? It's something. Temporal. It was a replica. No.
[51:43] It was. You know. I told you. Every blood. From Genesis. Was pointing to the blood. Ah. Every blood. So when they shed the blood. So it's pointing to the blood.
[51:54] The blood himself. The blood of the Lamb of God. The blood that was about to be shed. Every blood. So when God told Moses. Slaughter the animal. Look at. Leviticus chapter 16.
[52:07] Verse 14 and 15. Leviticus chapter quickly. Leviticus. He shall take some of the blood. That's the instruction to Moses. Tell Aaron. When he slaughters the animal. He shall take some of the blood.
[52:18] The blood of the bull. And sprinkle it with his finger. On the. You know where the mercy seat is? You know where the mercy seat is? And sprinkle it on the. On the. On the. On the. On the. On the. On the. On the.
[52:28] On the. On the east side. And before the mercy seat. He shall sprinkle some of the blood. With his finger. Seven times. Look at the next verse. I like the next verse. Then he shall kill. He shall kill the goat.
[52:40] Of. Goat of the sin offering. So. There's a goat. This is how they used to do it. Now. Listen. That word. Scapegoat. Comes from the Bible. He didn't do it. But they used something to substitute.
[52:51] They used that goat to substitute the one who actually did it. So that's where the term scapegoat comes from. It's scapegoat. It's not your fault. But they said now they've given you that you are the one.
[53:03] So this is what they say. The scapegoat. They bring the goat. And then the high priest. Will lay his hands on the goat. And then he said. All the sins the people have committed.
[53:15] Okay. Put it back. Put it back. 16 verse 10. But the goat. On which. The lodge. Fell. To be the scapegoat. Shall be presented alive before the Lord.
[53:26] To make atonement. Upon it. And to let it go. As a scapegoat. Into the wilderness. So. They bring the goat. The high priest. Two goats.
[53:37] One. Will be sent into the wilderness. For wild animal to eat it. Yes. And the other one. Will be slaughtered. For the blood to be presented. But the high priest.
[53:48] Will lay his hands. First of all. He has to examine the goat. And make sure the goat is not sick. Because some of you. Your offering is like sick goat. You give God.
[54:02] What you know. If you used to buy chips. Whoever taught you how to give. Is bad. It's not helping you. And so. He will lay his hands.
[54:12] After inspecting the goat. And make sure. It's pure. That he will lay his hands on the goat. And confess the sins of the people. On the goat. And then. Now the goat will be sent.
[54:23] To go and die. Or. Slaughtered. For the blood to be presented. Who sinned? Who committed a sin? Who. Who pays for the sin?
[54:33] The goats. And guess what? This system was reflecting. What the lamb of God. Was coming to do. When you come to Jesus.
[54:47] God doesn't punish you. For your sins. If I were you. I would scream.
[54:57] Thank you Jesus. When you come to Jesus. God doesn't punish you. For your sins. He puts your sins.
[55:08] On the sacrifice. That's why Jesus. Is our sacrifice. Jesus. Is our scapegoat. Jesus. Is the one.
[55:18] Who suffered for us. So we can go free. Bible talks about. He gave himself. As. Do you know what a ransom is? Do you know what a ransom is? Ransom is an innocent.
[55:30] Something money. Or does. Pay to release some people. In Mark chapter. 10 verse. 46. He says that. He did not come to be saved. But he kept to give.
[55:41] Verse 45. Sorry. For even the son of man. Did not come to be saved. But to serve. And to give him. His life. As a. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.
[55:51] A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.
[56:06] A. A. A. A. A. A. A.
[56:19] A. A. A. A. A. A.
[56:30] Let them go. Leave my disciples. Let them go. Get me. He came so we don't have to suffer with him. You can't suffer with him. So it's that Jesus answered, I've told you that I am he.
[56:41] Therefore, if you seek me, let these go their way. Leave them alone. Leave them alone. Let my people go. Punish me for them. He said it to the justice of God.
[56:58] He said, God, punish me for their sake. Punish me. That's why even when they crucified him, they killed him. He said, Father, forgive them.
[57:10] Forgive them for they know what they are doing. Because I am the sin bearer. He came to bear the sins of many by giving his blood. Please sit down.
[57:21] Let me finish this thing. Thank you, sir. Thank you. You sin, he gets punished for your sins. That's what Christianity is about.
[57:33] That's what Christianity is about. It's not just singing songs in church. Christianity is about one person dying and taking the hits, taking the blows, taking the punishment for your sins.
[57:46] Is it not stupid to die in your sins then? Let me, let me, let me. Why die in your sins when someone has already taken care of it? But until you come to him to repent and says that, I accept the work you have done.
[58:05] Please accept me. Forgive me for my sins. I repent for my sins and you are my Lord. Until you come, the exchange cannot be effected. So you will be dying in your sins.
[58:16] There are people that, watch this, there are many people on earth who die in their sins. It's not smart. In Revelation chapter, chapter 14, verse 13, it says, blessed are those who die in the Lord for their works follow them.
[58:32] Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. Don't die in your sins. Die in the Lord. Die in the Lord. Make sure when you are dying, you are in Christ. You are not in church to get money.
[58:43] You are not in church to get marriage. You are not in church to get good grace. The reason why you are in church, so that you cannot die in your sins. That's where it starts from. You are not in church for healing.
[58:55] We've made all those things like that's why we are in church. But primarily, you are in Christ so that you cannot be in your sins. Why would Christ go through all this? For it to be trivialized.
[59:06] Some people commonize. They commonize the blood of Jesus. Hebrews chapter 10, verse 29. God said, God will not forgive you. It says, Hebrews 10, 29. Of how much worse punishments do you suppose will be taught worthy of who has trampled the sum of God underfoot and counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified?
[59:35] A common thing. And he saw the spirit of grace. He said, you should be worthy of more punishments. He said, what is the blood? What is the son of God? And his blood.
[59:46] What is it? I can't be bothered. He said, you will be worthy of more punishments. Why? Because that's why Jesus said, if you sin against the son of man, you will be forgiven.
[59:57] But if you sin against the Holy Spirit, the sins that cannot be forgiven is the sin that rejects the means for forgiveness. If you reject the means for forgiveness, how would you be forgiven?
[60:10] There's only one means for forgiveness. That's what I'm talking about. In Ephesians chapter 1, verse 7, it talks about how we have redemption, forgiveness through his blood. I'm talking about the blood. In him, we have redemption through his blood.
[60:23] In Colossians chapter 1, verse 20, I quoted it earlier on. How by the blood of his cross, we have our redemption. Hallelujah. And now I'm telling you about Hebrews chapter 9.
[60:37] We have read verse 12. Let's quickly jump to verse 13 and verse 14 so I can round up. For if, ah, for if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a hiver sprinkling the unclean, sanctify for the purifying of the flesh.
[60:54] In other words, what they were doing was managing the job. The blood that was sprinkled on Aaron's fingers. It was doing some job. It was not perfect, but it was doing.
[61:05] He said, if that's one, the blood of bulls can help a bit. Look at it. How much more? How much more?
[61:16] Shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered himself without support unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
[61:31] How much more? How much more? How much more? If the blood of Jesus could do it, how much more? If the blood of bulls could do it, how much more the blood of Jesus?
[61:42] Let me, let me, let me, reverse to chapter 9 again. This is chapter 9, chapter 10. Let me go to chapter 10 and show you something in the verse 11, verse 12.
[61:53] Let's start from verse 10. Huh? I had to finish. I got to finish. It says that we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ.
[62:03] How many times? How many times were the high priests going to the Holy? Once a year. Every year. But Jesus did it what? Once a year.
[62:14] Now, look at verse 11. Look at verse 11. Look at verse 11. Every, watch this. Every high priest stands ministering daily, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices which can never take away sins.
[62:28] Sacrifices of the Old Testament. And no other sacrifice can take away sins. There is only one sacrifice. Listen, listen, listen, listen. Do you understand? Do you understand why?
[62:40] Jesus told Peter, get behind me. When Peter was trying to block him from going to the cross. Because that's the only sacrifice. That's the only sacrifice. That can take away sins.
[62:51] And Satan wanted to block it. That's why he said, Peter, Satan, get behind me. Because you want to block the repos of God. The only sacrifice that can take away sins is the sacrifice of Christ.
[63:03] He said, he said, let's go back to my text. Hebrews chapter 10. For every high priest standing daily, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices which can never take away sins.
[63:14] Look at verse 12. But this man. Somebody say this man. This man. Say this man. This man. Say this man. This man. But this man.
[63:24] After he had offered one sacrifice for sins. How many times? Forever. When he finished, he went and sat down. But remember the high priest.
[63:36] They keep standing. Look at the verse before. The verse before. Every high priest. They keep standing because they couldn't get their work done. But Jesus did it once and for all. And went and sat down.
[63:48] And went and sat down. And went and sat down. And went and sat down. Hallelujah. The blood of Jesus.
[64:01] The blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus. So when you read downwards, look at the verse 19. I like verse 19.
[64:12] Hebrews chapter 10. I like the verse 19. Oh my God. Let's all read it aloud. Let's all pray. How do we enter the holies?
[64:25] The holies. The holies. The holies which nobody was able to enter. Now he said, let's enter boldly. He said, have the boldness and enter. By the blood of Jesus.
[64:37] We are coming into the. You remember Hebrews chapter 4 verse 16. Therefore let us come boldly. Let us come boldly. Let us come boldly. Let us come boldly. Before the throne of grace.
[64:48] Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. The reason why you couldn't come boldly before the throne of grace is because of your sin. But now Jesus has offered his blood. So you can come boldly.
[65:00] Before the throne of grace. You don't come timidly. You come boldly. They say, hey where are you going? Oh leave me alone. I know where I'm going. You will die. He said, no, no. I'm not dying. How do you know? He said, let us come boldly.
[65:10] Look at the next verse. Look at the next verse. How are we going? By a new and a living way. Which Jesus has consecrated for us. How? Through the veil. That is his.
[65:21] Look at the next verse. Hallelujah. And having a high priest over the house of God. What we should do. Let us do this. Let us draw near with the true heart. Come close. Come close.
[65:33] What did you do the other time? You messed up. Come close. Oh. You are not far anymore. You used to be far.
[65:44] But now you have been brought near by the blood of Jesus. So come close. So come close. So come close. So come close. So come close.
[65:55] Sit down. Let me tell you something. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I've been actually going to my notes. Let me see. I have some scriptures for you.
[66:11] Hebrews chapter 13 verse 12. Hebrews chapter 13 verse 12. Hebrews chapter 13 verse 12. Hebrews chapter 13 verse 12.
[66:25] Therefore Jesus also. That he might sanctify the people with his own blood. Suffered outside the gates. You know why? The escape route always is sent out. Amen. So that's why he also suffered as a gate.
[66:37] He says in Acts chapter 20 verse 28. Take it to yourself and to the flock of our way. The Holy Ghost has made you of us here. To shepherd. What? The church of God. Which is? Purchased.
[66:48] How did he get it? Oh. So the church was purchased. What did he pay to purchase the church? His blood. His blood. So you see, when it comes to God's economy.
[66:59] When it comes to God's system of operation. When it comes to God's eternal salvation and redemption. The blood is a pivotal thing. That is why God from generations warned people not to trivialize with the blood.
[67:12] That is the only reason he allowed us to eat meat. So we can get the blood. So we can get the blood. I need the blood. Every blood, as I said earlier on.
[67:23] Every blood that was shed in the Old Testament was pointing to the ultimate blood. The precious blood of the Lamb. The precious blood of Christ. The blood.
[67:35] So let me run now by talking. Let me finish now by going back to Ephesians chapter 2. Verse 13. He said, but now. You remember but now? Now. You remember but now?
[67:46] Now. Let's read Allah. Let's go. But now. In Christ Jesus. You who were as far up have been brought near. How did we come near?
[67:57] How are we brought near? By the blood. By the blood. It's the blood. It's the blood. So that's why we actually take communion. The communion is a statement.
[68:10] A blood statement. The cross was a bloody cross. Oh yes. It had to be bloody. Because our salvation and our sins was messy. So we need something bloody to save us from the messy sin.
[68:24] The mess. The mess of our sins. It was messy. Some of you have messy history. Yeah.
[68:34] You look like an angel. But your history is like a devil. Oh yes. You know. Your father doesn't know who you are. Oh. Oh. Your mom still thinks you are a virgin.
[68:47] She doesn't know the things you know. Some of you. The things you have done.
[68:58] It is very wild. If you start talking about it. People will be falling. But blood covers you.
[69:09] Amen. Amen. Amen. способ It's a song we used to sing in church. I know he rescues my soul.
[69:21] His blood covers my sins. I believe. Oh, yes. I believe. No, no, no. Don't play like that.
[69:31] Smooth. My shame is taken away. Put it on the screen. My pain is healed in his name.
[69:41] I believe. I believe. Oh, yes. I'll raise a banner.
[69:54] My Lord has conquered the grave. My Redeemer lives. Oh, yes. My Redeemer lives.
[70:06] My Redeemer lives. My Redeemer lives. My Redeemer lives. My Redeemer lives. The blood covers my sins.
[70:17] The blood covers my sins. There's another song we've been singing, which talks about how I do not come in my own righteousness.
[70:27] I come in the righteousness of Jesus. I come in the blood of Jesus. That's his righteousness. Don't attempt to go to God with clean hands because it will backfire.
[70:39] Go to God with the pure sense of Christ. Let me tell you, I'm ending. I'm ending. Why do you think? Why do you think when he resurrected from the cross?
[70:51] He said, look at my pure sense. It's an evidence that I've shed my blood. The blood. The blood. This is the sign. I've shed my blood. Look at my sight. I've shed my blood.
[71:02] I've shed my blood. Blood is still speaking. The blood speaks better things. The blood purifies us. In Hebrews chapter 12 verse 24, it says that the blood, we have come to the blood of sprinkle.
[71:18] That speaks better. The blood speaks. The blood speaks. And it speaks better things. Satan is speaking to hurt you, but the blood is speaking better things.
[71:30] The blood is for the eternal covenant. For eternal covenant. Hebrews chapter 13, we read it earlier on. The blood sanctifies us.
[71:43] Hebrews chapter 13 verse 12. The blood sanctifies us. The blood purifies our conscience to serve God. Hebrews chapter 9 verse 14. The blood speaks better things.
[71:54] Hebrews chapter 12 verse 24. And the blood, such a blood, we can have, through such a blood, we can have boldness to enter the Holy Spirit.
