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)."
I recently returned from Charleston, SC for my great-grandson's baby shower. Now, I wish to continue learning about Wisdom. In Lev.15-17, we read about the Passover, by the blood of a lamb or goat. Two of these animals were involved. The Priest laid his hands on one lamb and cast it out into the Wilderness to never return. Our Passover Lamb did return. The other lamb was slain and its blood was a covering for all the people. God said that this was to be a festival which is carried out forever.
God's Church celebrates the Feast of the Resurrection (Easter Sunday), but we fail to understand what Jesus said in Luke22:1(Amp), while awaiting His crucifixion. Jesus told His followers that He was there for the Passover. He was crucified on the Passover and was raised on the following Sunday morning. He was the Lamb Who took away the sins of the people and He was the Lamb, Whose Blood was the Blood of our Passover forever.
We were spiritually dead, but we were raised with Him from that spiritual death and made new creation children of God. We were spiritually dead in trespass and sin and our Redemption was paid for by the Blood of the Lamb of God. If you read Deut.28, then you'll realize just how much we were redeemed from. The Curse of the Law has to do with our lives, while we're still here in the flesh.
We cannot lost faith in His Blood to take care of us here, not only when we get to Heaven. Lev.17:14(Amp) tells us that, "The life of all flesh, is in the blood." Even though we're born-again and have new Life in Jesus Christ, we're still living in flesh and blood bodies. None of us have lived a perfect life in this flesh, no matter how born-again we are. We're still being "transformed by the renewing of our minds, " like Rom.12:2 says. Until our minds have been renewed, we still don't walk in perfection or maturity of the spirit. The Blood of Christ keeps us clean from all of this, as we grow.
Paul wrote about our taking Communion in 1Cor.11, telling the Church that, "We should judge ourselves before receiving Communion. He tells us that if we hold unforgiveness or malice against anyone, then we should make amends and repent, before taking Communion." Paul said many in the Church are weak, sickly and have prematurely died, because they didn't heed his message. When we partake of Communion, we're to remember the Redemption Power of the Blood of our Passover Lamb and believe.
John tells us in 1John1:9(Amp), "If we freely confess our short comings and sin unto Him, He is faithful to dismiss and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This cleansing is His Redemptive Blood that keeps us clean. Col.1:13-14(Amp) says, "The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love, In Whom we have our Redemption through His Blood, which means the forgiveness of sin." Eph.2:13(Amp) says, "But now, in Christ Jesus, you who once were so far away, through, by, in the Blood of Christ, have been brought near."
Ps.107:2(Amp) says, "Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has delivered by the hand of the adversary." If you are redeemed, then say so.
