The Blood of Jesus Christ was
poured out on the earth. Why did God
have that happen? Because the first Adam
had sinned, and his body was formed of the earth. And when he sinned, that action polluted the
creation that he had been put in charge of.
Because of the sin, God’s punishment to the man Adam was to curse the
ground and make it a struggle to live all his days outside the garden of God.
This affected all his generations.
So God had cursed the ground and
declared Adam to struggle for the rest of his days. And not just him, but all
that was produced after him, for Eve was the mother of all living. Sin and death were abounding.
But God had an expression of hope
toward man when Noah came along. After
the flood, Noah gave a sacrifice unto the Lord and the Lord was pleased and
blessed Noah with a new covenant.
But then the LORD God instructed
them not to eat anything with the blood in it, or drink it, because life was in
the blood. And the blood was to be used
for the altar for God’s atonement of the soul.
The blood was and is sacred and holy.
So when Jesus gave up His Spirit
to God and His body died, God was pleased with the finished work of His
Salvation. This was the Perfect
Sacrifice to resolve all sin issues from the first Adam and Eve.
The water and blood of Jesus
poured out of His side and touched the cursed ground. Atonement…done. Curse on the ground paid for in full, as well
as the curse to the woman. But now they
would have to receive the blessing of God by receiving the Son of God as the
Eternal Lamb Sacrifice.
God’s free Gift of
Salvation…Atonement in Full
Atonement on the natural “altar”
where God had made man out of the dust of the earth.
At the Cross…. The altar of
sacrifice… His Blood on the posts… Jesus had now corrected the fall of the first
Adam. A man’s life for a man’s life.
Now the Second Man arises from
the dust, as the Quickening Spirit, the Lord from Heaven. Ruling and Reigning
in Heaven and in Earth.
All things are made new.
Now as we have accepted and
received the Son of God as God’s Eternal Lamb Sacrifice, we are sealed with His
Holy Spirit, and are entering in to His Kingdom and Presence, which He prepared
for us.
By His body, and blood, and Spirit we too are freed from the sin, death, the devil and the curse; and are become one with the New man, whom
is the Second Man the Lord from heaven, the quickening Spirit of God. HE is ruling and reigning in the new heaven and in new earth and over all Creation.
Amen.
