Moses took half the blood of the animals and put it in bowls; and the other half he threw against the altar. Then Moses took the blood in the bowls and threw it on the people. He said, “This is the blood that seals the covenant which the LORD made with you when he gave all these commands.”
Exodus 24:6, 8 GNBDK
When Christ went through the tent and entered once and for all into the Most Holy Place, he did not take the blood of goats and bulls to offer as a sacrifice; rather, he took his own blood and obtained eternal salvation for us.
Hebrews 9:12 GNBDK
Jesus said, “This is my blood which is poured out for many, my blood which seals God's covenant.
Mark 14:24 GNBDK
Reflection:
Throughout history sacrifice has been a sign of oblation. Man in his own freedom rejected God in disobedience, but God's love for man has been unconditional, and in order to make things right, in his infinite wisdom, comes down in the human form of Jesus to be offered as a perfect sacrifice. Thus establishing an eternal covenant for us all.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the understanding of the covenant he has established through his son Jesus so that you can live forever. May his Holy Spirit always strengthen your will as you willing submit it to God. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
