There Is Power In The Blood

The first thing that I want to deal with is: The Power and Purpose of the Blood

The blood of Jesus is not just a historical detail, but it is the heartbeat of our salvation. It is the crimson thread that ties the cross, the resurrection, and our eternal hope together.

The Communion Service is not a ritual of religion, but instead it’s a sacred reminder of his sacrifice.

When we gather at the table of the Lord, we are doing more than sipping juice and eating bread, we are proclaiming a living covenant, sealed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

We must know that The Blood Speaks to us, and for us.

Hebrews 9:22 says, “Without shedding of blood is no remission.”

So, We must know that there is Redemption power in the blood.

• The blood speaks for us because it was the blood that paid our debt.

We were born into sin, shaped in iniquity, held hostage by guilt. But Jesus shed His blood as the payment we could never afford.

1st Cor. 6:20 reminds us “For ye are bought with a price…”

. The Blood speaks to us because it reminds us of it’s saving power. We even sing the song, I know it was the blood that saved me, one day when I was lost, he died upon the cross. I know it was the blood

The blood has Remission power. The word remission means to cancellation of a debt.

• The blood removed our sin. Old Testament sacrifices could cover sin, but only the blood of Jesus could remove it. I love what John 1:29 “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

The blood has Relationship power mixed up in the blood, because it was the blood that restored our access to God. We are no longer outsiders—we are sons and daughters because of the blood.

Eph. 2:13 says, But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

So here it is: The Communion Table as A Covenant Meal

Jesus didn’t choose a courtroom, a battlefield, or even a synagogue to unveil the New Covenant. He chose a table.

Why? Because a table is intimate, and a meal is covenantal.“This cup is the new testament in my blood…” (Luke 22:20)

It is a Table of Memory

•  “This do in remembrance of Me.”

When we take Communion, we don’t just recall Jesus in general—we remember what He did:

• His body broken for our healing.

• His blood shed for our forgiveness.

We remember that His suffering was substitutionary—He took our place!

B. It’s a Table of Unity

1 Corinthians 10:17 says, “For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.”

• We come to the table as individuals, but we leave reminded that we are one body, one Church, one family.

•  It’s not about social status, background, or title—it’s about the blood that makes us one.

It’s a Table of Examination

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:28: “But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.”

• Communion is not just celebration—it is consecration.

• Before we receive it, we must reflect: Is my heart clean? Is my spirit right? Is there unforgiveness in my heart?

We must know that The Blood Still Works. And we don’t just remember the blood, but we rely on it every day.

We must know that The Blood Protects us.

“And when I see the blood, I will pass over you…”(Exodus 12:13)

His blood is our covering—when the enemy comes in like a flood, it’s the blood that lifts up the standard.

The Blood Cleanses

“The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 The blood still reaches the highest mountain. It still flows to the lowest valley. And it has not lost its power!

The Blood Seals the Covenant

Hebrews 13:20 speaks of the “blood of the everlasting covenant.”

This is not a temporary fix—it is an eternal promise. Communion reminds us that Jesus didn’t make a contract—He established a covenant that cannot be broken.

So understand that

• The bread is not just a wafer—it’s a reminder of His body.

•  The cup is not just juice—it’s a symbol of the blood that still saves, still heals, still delivers.

May I tell you that The Lifeline of the Blood”

There was a young boy named Caleb who was born with a rare blood disorder. His only hope for survival was a blood transfusion—but not just from anyone.

He needed blood from someone who had been delivered from the same disease… and that someone was his older sister, Lily.

She was just 8 years old, but she had the exact antibodies in her blood that could save her brother’s life.
