Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom) (For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal thing) And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."
As we observe the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ this Holy Week, we know that Wisdom is needed to discern, comprehend and understand what this means for our every day lives in Him. In Lev.16:5(Amp), God gave Moses instructions for his brother Aaron. Before entering into the Holy of Holies, Aaron was to "Take two male goats for a sin offering and one bull for a burnt offering. He was to present the bull for a sin offering for himself and he was to present the two goats before the Lord. Aaron was to cast lots on the two goats, one for the Lord and one for removal. The one on which the Lord's lot fell, Aaron was to offer him for the sin offering. The one which the lot fell for removal was to be let go into the Wilderness. He was to kill the goat of the sin offering and brings its blood into the Holy of Holies and sprinkle it up on the Mercy Seat. He shall present the live goat. He shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over him all the sins, iniquities and transgressions and put them on the goat the (sin bearer) and sent him away into the wilderness. The bull and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement shall be carried forth without the cup. For on this day atonement shall be made for you, cleanse you from your sins, you shall be clean before the Lord."
Lev.17:11,14(Amp) tells us, "For the life (soul) is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life which it represents." In our new covenant, what Life does the Blood of our Lamb Jesus represent and what is the Power of His Blood for our souls and flesh? Verse14 says, "As for the Life of all flesh, the Blood of it represents the Life of it." The Blood of Jesus represents the Life of Jesus and is Life unto our flesh and soul, by faith in His shed Blood. One goat was to be sent into the wilderness and is the Spirit of Jesus that was made to be sin with our sin. Two deaths were presented in His crucifixion. One was in His flesh, His Blood redeemed out flesh and blood bodies from the Curse of the Law. The other was His Spirit, which took our place, our sins, our iniquities and our trespasses into the pit of hell, so we could be born-again as sons and daughters of God.
Gal.3:13(Amp) says, "Christ purchased our freedom (redeeming us) from the Curse of the Law and its condemnation, by Himself becoming a curse for us." Eph.1:7(Amp) says, "In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His Blood, the remission, forgiveness of our offenses (shortcomings, trespasses) in accordance with the riches and generosity of His Gracious favor." The Power of His Blood brings healing, deliverance and cleansing for our mortal bodies, here on earth.
1Peter1:18-19(Amp) tells us, "You must know and recognize that your were redeemed, ransomed from the useless, fruitless way of living inherited by tradition from your forefathers, not with corruptible things such as silver and gold. But you were purchased with the Precious Blood of Christ (the Messiah), like that of a Sacrificial Lamb without blemish or spot."
Have a Blessed Holy Week!
