DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
The life of the flesh is in the blood. When blood stops flowing in the body, the individual dies instantly. “It is the blood also that makes atonement for the soul” (Leviticus 17:11). Although many pagan rituals celebrate the eating and drinking of blood, in Christianity, Jesus Christ shed His blood, died and gave His life voluntarily to take away our sins, shame and suffering.

In our text, the potency of Christ’s blood was clearly expressed; He “loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood” (Revelation 1:5). The significance of blood is demonstrated throughout the Scripture. Abel offered a lamb unto God (blood), and his sacrifice was accepted. Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac, his long-awaited son, but the blood of a ram – an innocent animal – was shed instead. At the Passover in Egypt, the Israelites slew a lamb per household and splashed the blood on their doorposts, to escape God’s wrath on Egypt, because God said, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you.”
Today, Christ’s blood redeems us (1 Peter 1:18,19); brings us into fellowship with God (Ephesians 2:13); makes peace with God on our behalf (Colossians 1:20); cleanses us (1 John 1:7); and gives us power and victory over the devil (Revelation 12:11). There is also sanctification through Christ’s blood.
To partake in His blood’s cleansing and forgiveness requires accepting His sacrificial death through genuine repentance and faith. This will guarantee you an eternity of
bliss in heaven.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
It is the blood of Jesus that discharges and acquits the repentant.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
