Our Coming Remission
February 21, 2023
Daily Reading – Leviticus 15-17 / Mark 1:21-45
GOD’S WORD:
Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:
Talk about being ahead of science, this verse points hundreds of years past medical science of the day. In fact, it points all the way into eternity.
In the Middle Ages there was a practice known as “bloodletting.” Blood was drained out of a person to get rid of diseases. If they did not to drain too much blood, sometimes it helped. However, in many cases it never worked because, well, people just died. A form of bloodletting was called “Leeching.” To suck the poison out of a body they would adhere blood sucking leeches to people. That was not very successful either because, one too many leeches and people died. Evidently, they had not read this part of the Bible. Life is in the blood.
God wanted people to know how important the blood was way back in Old Testament times. It all pointed to the day when the blood of Jesus, which paid for man’s sin would be shed. The remission of our sin took the blood, and therefore the life of God’s only Son Jesus. Hebrews 9:22 tells us; “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” When Jesus died as the sacrificial Lamb of God, the Jewish people should have understood what just happened. As far as that goes, we too who have all of God’s Word and no excuse for not understanding. “…it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”
GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:
Today’s verse points hundreds of years ahead to Jesus, Our Coming Remission. Once applied it is complete. Hebrews 10:18 says; “Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.” It is FINISHED.
Have you placed your sins under the blood?
“Getting people into the Word of God…
… and the Word of God into people.”

I sure am glad medicine has changed 🙂 On a side note, I just went on an Encounter weekend in Missouri with my daughter and Granddaughters. It was very intense, and I can say I came back a better Christian in so many ways.
I just wanted to tell you a funny thing. One of our speakers got up an said she had been a drug addict, starting when she was 8 years old. There were 1000 women there, and it went totally silent. Then she said her parents drug her to church every week. I thought of you and those messages where your parents had to drag you there :). Her comments lightened the moment of two very intense days.
Sounds wonderful. I am glad medical procedures have changed for the better. But the blood of Christ never needs improvement. God bless glad you had an enjoyable and safe trip. God bless.
