The protection by the blood, of Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus, that blood from the sacrifice of his own life, pure, holy, innocent, righteous; has a power that many christians do not consider. May you be exhorted by reading.
2. THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS FULL OF THE LIFE OF GOD.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS FULL OF POWER AND
THERE IS NO WAY A BELIEVER CAN EXERCISE HIS
AUTHORITY IN CHRIST WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE
OF THE BLOOD. WE SAW THAT THE BLOOD COVERS
OUR SINS AND THAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS HAS
BROUGHT US IN AN EVERLASTING COVENANT.
TODAY WE WANT TO SEE THAT THERE IS
PROTECTION IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
3. Exodus 12:1-12
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
saying,
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the
first month of the year to you.
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of
this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the
house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his
neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the
souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the
lamb.
4. Exodus 12:1-12
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year:
ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same
month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel
shall kill it in the evening.
7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side
posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they
shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and
unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with
fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
5. Exodus 12:1-12
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that
which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your
feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the
LORD'S passover.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against
all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where
ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague
shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
7. THE PROTECTION OF THE BLOOD
USE THE BLOOD FOR YOUR PROTECTION
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the
tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a
lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an
house:
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses
where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you,
and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I
smite the land of Egypt.
8. THE PROTECTION OF THE BLOOD
USE THE BLOOD FOR THE PROTECTION OF
YOUR FAMILY
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the
tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a
lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an
house:
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses
where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you,
and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I
smite the land of Egypt.
9. THE PROTECTION OF THE BLOOD
GOD HAS THE FAMILY IN MIND
Acts 16:30
“And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved, and thy house.”
10. THE PROTECTION OF THE BLOOD
YOUR FAITH AFFECTS YOUR FAMILY IN SOME WAY
1Corinthians 7:12-16
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not,
and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased
to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is
sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under
bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how
knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
11. PROTECTED BY THE BLOOD
THE ISRAELITES WERE PROTECTED BY THE BLOOD OF
THE LAMB THAT THEY PUT ON THE DOORFRAMES OF
THEIR HOUSES
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are:
and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be
upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
12. THE POWER OF THE BLOOD
VICTORY THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
1Samuel 7:7 “And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were
gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And
when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God
for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 9 And Samuel took a
sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel
cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him. 10 And as Samuel was
offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but
the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and
discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote
them, until they came under Bethcar.”
13. THE LAMB OF GOD
JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE
SIN OF THE WORLD
JOHN 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
14. THE LAMB OF GOD
OUR VICTORY IS THROUGH THE BLOOD
REVELATION 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the
word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death
