FAITH IN THE REDEEMING BLOOD (Hebrews 11:28)

When we greet a fellow Christian today, we will typically ask, “How are you feeling?”  Perhaps it would be more applicable to ask, “How are you faithing?”  You see, feelings are fickle, but it is our that faith keeps us steady.  In fact, you are no stronger than your faith. The Bible says, “According to your faith be it unto you,” and God wants you to be a champion of faith.  Now, today, we are talking about the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ, and we’re going to help you to understand something of the power of faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Heb 11:28
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
KJV

When we come to the Lord’s Table, how do we come? With clean hearts, no unconfessed, no unrepented-of sin, because we are celebrating the Lord’s Passover. We’re celebrating what the spotless, sinless Son of God did for us. The Bible says, “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death, till he come.”  When we come to the Lord’s Table, we are celebrating, we’re not coming to mourn a corpse; we’re coming to hail a conqueror. Jesus Christ has defeated the old serpent. The Lamb has slain the serpent, and we celebrate. 

Now, in the Old Testament, the Jews put the blood upon the doorposts, to openly, and clearly, declare they were for the Lord, and so the death angel would Passover them. In the New Testament, we confess Christ openly as our Savior: “That if thou shalt believe in thine heart and confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, you’ll be saved. With the heart man believes unto righteousness; with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Just as the death angel passed over the Hebrews, he passes over us when we openly declare our love for Jesus Christ.
