Power in the blood of Jesus (FOCUS PART 3)

 

Read part 1 and 2 of this series by clicking on these two links.  Today we will discuss the need to understand the power that is in the blood of Jesus to help us remain focused.

In order to maintain the proper focus, it is imperative that we understand the implications of the shed blood of Jesus.  The scriptures let us know that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin.  Our sins demanded that a price be paid. A sacrifice had to be offered to rescue us from death.  In Exodus Chapter 12, we see a foreshadowing of what Jesus would ultimately do for us on the cross. Jesus was the spotless Lamb of God and His shed blood is what made the forgiveness of our sins possible. So what does this mean for us today?  When you plead the blood of Jesus, it is a reminder of all the blood accomplished and still continues to accomplish today. Jesus shed His blood on our behalf and this sacrifice makes victorious living 100% possible. We don’t have to take what the devil offers. We don’t have to dwell on past mistakes and live in condemnation. We don’t have to receive sickness. We don’t have to be confused in our mind.  Why?  Because of the blood of Jesus! His blood gives us newness of life and a new level of authority!  Remember that there is still power in the blood of Jesus and it is a sure way to help you remain focused!
