S – According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness
Hebrews 9:22 CSB
O – Commentary:
Many of the rituals of cleansing in the law of Moses involved the death of a sacrificial animal; blood was involved both in the rites of cleansing (see Exod 29:12; 30:10; Lev 4:6, 17; 16:14–19; Num 19:4) and in making atonement (see “Atonement” at Lev 16:1–34, p. 223). The shedding of Christ’s blood established the new covenant, providing permanent purification and complete forgiveness of sins
New Living Translation Study Bible (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2008), Heb 9:22.
A – The only way to receive complete forgiveness of sin is through the blood of Christ. He paid the price for “perfect blood” by living a sinless life and then sacrificing himself on the cross. It answers every requirement that fulfilled the law and God’s plan.
R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you. Thank you for the blood of Christ that was shed on our behalf. It is humbling and we are grateful. We want to express our love for you in our thoughts, words and actions today.
