Not Without Blood

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2019

The ratification of the old covenant did not take place without blood. But it took the blood of Christ to bear away our sins, once and forever!

NOT WITHOUT BLOOD. Hebrews 9:15-28. In continuing to compare and contrast the old covenant and the new, we have seen how the high priest would enter the ‘Holiest of All’ (Hebrews 9:3), alone, once a year (on the Day of Atonement) ‘not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 9, 2017

Those Who Are Forgiven Much

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 19, 2022
