Let Us Look At The Cross
We are in a new season of restoration, restitution and acceleration.
Let us look at the finished work of Jesus. We want to be Cross focused. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
1 Corinthians 11: 23-26
In looking at the Cross, the purpose of this message is in remembrance of the blood that Jesus shed on the Cross. (Revelation 1:5)
The world has all kinds of protection and people are slowly gaining confidence in the vaccinations against the coronavirus.
We as the church have the ageless protection of the blood of Jesus and need not be fearful or anxious.
The purpose is also to have the confidence in the finished work of the blood of Jesus. We need to bring this confidence to the world. We do not need to be fearful or worried.
Introduction:
Exodus 12: 21-24.
Moses introduces the Passover during the last plague of Egypt which was striking the first born. They covered the door post with the blood of a lamb and death passed over the home. Protection came from the blood of the lamb.
The blood on the door posts right to the time of the shedding of the blood of Jesus speaks of the promise of God and His protection.
1 Corinthians 5:7
Jesus is truly the passover the Lamb. The blood remains useless until it is applied.
How do we apply the blood of Jesus to our lives?
Revelation 12:11
We overcome the devil by the blood of the Lambs.
I am protected by the blood of Jesus when I testify by the Word of what the blood of Jesus can do for me.
The protection of God is invisible but it is tangible and real. The blood as many things that can be applied to our lives through confession and declaration of the blood of Jesus over ourselves, our families and situations. (1 John 1:7, Ephesians 1:7, Revelation 12:11, Romans 5:9, Colossians 1:20, Ephesians 2:13, Peter 1:2)
