WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS (HEBREWS 9:19-22)

source

“When Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” ( Hebrews 9:19-22 )

Both the Old and New Covenants were put into impact by blood. The blood demonstrated the demise, in this way authorizing and ordering the will of the person who passed on ( Hebrews 9:17 ). Leviticus 17:11 clarifies why the blood was utilized, "For the life of an animal is in the blood, and I have offered it to you to make amends for yourselves on the sacrificial stone; the blood makes penance for one's life" ( Leviticus 17:11 ). So it was fundamental for the two Covenants to be introduced by blood, since first it demonstrated the demise in light of the fact that the blood is the life compel. What's more, besides, it was given for reparation. So without it, there could be no absolution for sins.

Jesus' blood was shed to introduce the New Covenant. His blood demonstrated that a passing had happened consequently authorizing His last will and testament. His blood was the value fundamental for this will to happen, at the end of the day, it put this covenant into impact. The New Covenant isn't just the will of Jesus, whose blood introduced in, it is additionally the will of God. All through Jesus' chance on earth He said again and again that His will was to do the will of the Father ( John 6:38 ). He focused on that what He said was just what the Father instructed Him to state ( John 8:28 ) and He did just what He saw the Father do ( John 5:19 ). His words and lessons were not His own but rather from the One who sent Him ( John 7:16 ). Truth be told John 6:38 abridges this pleasantly, "For I have descended from paradise not to do my will but rather to do the will of him who sent me" ( John 6:38 ). The author of Hebrews begins part 1 by announcing that Jesus is the correct portrayal of God the Father ( Hebrews 1:3 ). Since they are one and the same, we can see that Jesus' blood was the life constrain that could introduce the will of God, which was the New Covenant.

Not exclusively did Jesus' blood demonstrate the passing and put the Covenant into impact. Some portion of the New Covenant that God talked about through the prophets incorporated the absolution of sins ( Jeremiah 31:31-34, Isaiah 54:13, Hebrews 8:8-12, Hebrews 10:16-18 ). Leviticus 17:11 says the life compel is in the blood and this is utilized as a methods for compensation. So Jesus' blood filled different needs, it sanctioned the Will of the Covenant and it was the purging operator for wrongdoing. In the event that no blood was shed, there couldn't be any absolution for sins.

The Vines Dictionary of New Testament Words conveys elucidation to this point. There are two words utilized for blood in Hebrews 9. The first is haima, which has numerous implications, however for this situation it indicates the blood of conciliatory casualties ( Hebrews 9:7 ). "The "blood" of Christ, which betokens His passing by the shedding of His "blood" in expiatory forfeit; to drink His "blood" is to fitting the sparing impacts of His expiatory demise, John 6:53. As "the life of the tissue is in the blood," Lev 17:11, and was relinquished by transgression, life everlasting can be conferred just by the reparation made, in the surrendering of the life by the pure Savior" (Vines Dictionary). As it were, life had been relinquished due to sin, which is the reason Jesus' life was given with the goal that He, as a perfect man, could confer unceasing life through this forfeit. Jesus himself said this, "I disclose to you reality, unless you eat the substance of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my fragile living creature and beverages my blood has unceasing life, and I will raise him up at the most recent day" ( John 6:53-54 ). Our life was relinquished on account of transgression, yet Jesus' blood was shed to excuse and reestablish us to a state as though we had never trespassed in any case ( II Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:26, Hebrews 10:10, Hebrews 10:12, Hebrews 10:14, Hebrews 10:18 ). What a stunning truth!

The second word for blood utilized as a part of Hebrews 9:22 is haimatekchysia, which implies the "shedding of blood", to spill out. Jesus didn't simply give His blood, He let it stream uninhibitedly. Actually, it didn't stop until the point when each and every drop had been given. He was spilled out unto demise, which is the thing that Isaiah forecasted about Him, "Accordingly I will give him a part among the immense, and he will partition the riches with the solid, since he spilled out his life unto passing, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the wrongdoing of many, and made intervention for the transgressors" ( Isaiah 5:3:12 ). His life compel totally secured, purged and repealed sin. Our lives had been relinquished as a result of wrongdoing, however His blood totally turned around the impact of transgression with the goal that we could encounter unceasing life.

Jesus comprehended this which is the reason He talked these words while leaning back at the table with His supporters at the last dinner. "At that point he took the glass, expressed appreciation and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, every one of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is spilled out for some for the absolution of sins" ( Matthew 26:27-28 ). He knew the cost to convey us to the Father and His own particular words vouch for the way that He would give the blood a chance to stream uninhibitedly. He knew His blood would introduce the covenant and it would totally and absolutely rub out and decimate the impacts and stains of sins.

His ideal blood was shed to introduce both the New Covenant and the absolution of sins. Neither one of the ones could be accomplished without it which is the reason He uninhibitedly offered himself to the will of God. Jesus accomplished what we couldn't and in light of His forfeit we have been excused, liberated and offered everlasting life through the individual of Jesus Christ.
