https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 2 * BOOK 51 For Lost Mankind – Death and Judgement - Part 2 Hebrews 9:15 – 10:1a I thank God for her every morning. I had already been searching for God but not in the right places. You shined a light on God’s Word and led me home." I can’t help it, to think that God can use just an old farmer to bring people to a knowledge of salvation. Okay, drop in at chapter 9 in Hebrews and verse 20. Okay, Hebrews chapter 9 dropping in at verse 21 where we just left off in the last lesson. The blood is the basis for everything in God’s dealing with man’s sin. Romans 3:23 "For all (the whole human race) have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Because we’re sons of Adam. Romans 3:24-25a the redemption (paying the price) that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God (the Father) hath set forth to be a propitiation (that’s a big word meaning ‘the place of sacrifice as well as THE sacrifice.’ through faith in his (what?) blood,…" The blood is the price of redemption. And when we place our faith in His death, burial and resurrection then it is a given that we are also placing our faith in that shed blood as payment for our sin debt. Now verse 26. Romans 3:26 Hebrews is talking to Jews who’d been under the Law for centuries. Now verse 12, Ephesians 2:12 "That at that time (while God was dealing with Israel under the Law) ye (Gentiles) were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, without God in the world." Ephesians 2:13 "But now in Christ Jesus ye who were at one time far off are made nigh (that is to God,) by the blood of Christ." By the blood! Call it what you will but God demands faith in that shed blood – as we said in the last program, "It’s the blood that purges us from our sin." Well put, right? All right so, the blood of Christ is what brought us nigh to God. Hebrews 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." "Without the shedding of blood there is no remission." I read an interesting thing on the shadow. All right. All right, so "Without the shedding of blood." Sacrifice. Sacrifice. Sacrifice. Thousands of animals were killed every year and that blood was shed to placate a Holy God, but it couldn’t take away their sin. And for that reason the Old Testament believer, even the best of them, David, Moses, they couldn’t go into God’s presence. Their sin was never atoned for. It was only covered with animal blood and so they, too, had to wait down in Paradise [in the center of the earth where Christ went (Matthew 12:40 and then Luke 16) until Christ had shed His perfect, sinless, atoning blood.]. So whether you’re dealing with Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3 or whether you’re dealing with you and I today in 2002 – "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin." God will not even look at someone who tries to approach Him without the shed blood. Most of them don’t want to even think of the blood. ‘Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.’ All right, let’s move on. Hebrews 9:23 The blood of Christ! If Mary’s blood would have coursed through the baby Jesus in the womb, would He have had sinless, perfect, Divine blood? Because it had to be the sinless, Divine, perfect blood sacrifice to satisfy the heavenlies. I always remember old Dr. M. R. DeHaun – many of you remember listening to him on the radio – and one of his premises was that the blood of the mother could never course through the infant or you would not have a Divine blood in the Savior. All right now verse 24, Hebrews 9:24a "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true;…" He didn’t go into the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem. Hebrews 9:24b "…but (he went) into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;" Chapter 4 just kept ringing in my ears all night long. Hebrews 4:14a All right, coming back now then to Hebrews chapter 9: Hebrews 9:24 We’re just ordinary people. Our present, washed and cleansed, as only the blood of Christ can do it. All right, verse 25. Hebrews 9:25a Well, again, flash back to the Old Testament economy. Hebrews 9:25-26a "Not yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood (animal’s blood) of others; 26. Hebrews 9:26b (ages) I’ve got this underlined in every Bible I’ve ever had. The old hymn writer expressed it how? Hebrews 9:26c Never to be remembered against us. Never when you and I as believers come up before the Lord are we ever going to face God with our sins. It’s washed in the blood. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
