Get Wisdom #33

  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)."

  We know from Lev.16-17 that there were to be two goats (lambs) on the Day of Atonement or Redemption. The High Priest would lay hands on one goat's head, confess all the sins of Israel on it and then send it into the wilderness (oblivion). The other goat was killed and it's blood was placed on the Mercy Seat, for the lives of and protection of the people.

  Jesus was the Lamb of God, Who became sin with our sin and took our sins into the Abyss, in order to pay the price for Adam's sin of treason, which caused man's separation from God and our spiritual death. Jesus made it possible for us to be born-again without sin or death in our new creation Spirit. The blood of the other lamb from the above scripture was to cover and Redeem the natural flesh and blood body from the Curse of the Law.  

  When God gave the Law, He knew man couldn't keep it and He made atonement for man, so He could still Bless him. No man but Jesus, ever fulfilled the Law. Now that the Law's been fulfilled, we need the Blood of our Passover Lamb to cleanse our flesh and blood bodies, so the Blessing can do it's work in our earthly lives. It's pertinent for us to understand and have faith in the Blood of our Lamb Jesus. We've committed sins even after being saved. The Blood cleanses us and keeps us in a position to still be Blessed. The Power of His Blood holds the destroyer back, so he'd can't bring the Curse upon us and keep us from the Blessing of God.

  Jesus was crucified on the Feast or Festival of Passover, according to Luke 22nd:1(Amp), which says, "Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover." Jesus said in Matt.5:17-18(Amp), "Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law of the Prophets; I have come not to do away with or undo, but to complete and fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook (identifying certain Hebrew letters) will pass from the Law until all things it foreshadows are accomplished."

  Jesus was the Only One to fulfill the Law and in Him, God looks upon us as having fulfilled it as well. By the new birth, we're raised without sin in Christ Jesus. We still have a natural body that is capable of sin. Our Heavenly Father has seen to it by the Festival of Unleavened Bread (the Passover), that the Blood of Jesus opened the door for cleansing. We know longer need the blood of goats, bulls or lambs, because Jesus fulfilled the Law. 

  When we acknowledge and put faith in His Blood, we can grow into maturity in His Word and be cleansed as we confess our sins. We can trust the Blood to cleanse us and protect us from the enemy, his lies and torment. The Blood of our Passover Lamb has the Power to cause the enemy to pass over us as the Redeemed of the Lord. Lev.4:17(Amp) tells us that, "The life of all flesh is in the blood." Are we not in flesh and blood bodies, while here on earth? Then, the Life in His Blood will extend and heal and protect us, because the life of all flesh is in His Blood. There's no death in the shed Blood of Jesus and because of this Life, the destroyer must pass over us. 

   Gal.3:13-14(Amp) says, "Christ purchased our freedom, Redeeming us from the Curse (doom) of the Law (and) its condemnation by Himself becoming a Curse for us; for it is written in the Scripture, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified). To the end, that through their receiving Christ Jesus, the Blessing Promised to Abraham might come on the Gentile, so that we all through faith might receive the realization of the Promise of the Holy Spirit." The Promise doesn't just mean the receiving of the Holy Spirit, but the Promise God made to Abraham through the Holy Spirit.
