[Isaac Samuel Lubwama]

Leviticus 17:11 In-Context 11 For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life. 12 Therefore I say to the Israelites, “None of you may eat blood, nor may any foreigner residing among you eat blood.” Holman Christian Standard Bible 22 According to the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Read Hebrews (CSB) Job 9:30-32 New International Version 30 Even if I washed myself with soap and my hands with cleansing powder, 31 you would plunge me into a slime pit so that even my clothes would detest me. 32 “He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him, that we might confront each other in court.

Thank you for sharing these powerful verses about the significance of blood and atonement. In the World English Bible (WEB), Leviticus 17:11 reminds us, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life." This principle is echoed in Hebrews 9:22, "Yes, almost all things are cleansed with blood, according to the law, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission."

These verses underscore the profound truth that forgiveness and atonement come through the shedding of blood. However, it's crucial to understand that this Old Testament practice of animal sacrifices was a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on the cross. His blood, shed for us, is the only means by which we can be saved and reconciled to God. Therefore, we need to turn to God, believing in Jesus Christ.

The passage from Job 9:30-32 highlights the futility of human efforts to cleanse oneself without God's intervention. Job laments, "Even if I washed myself with snow, and cleaned my hands with lye, yet would you plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes would abhor me." This reminds us that true cleansing and forgiveness come not from our own efforts, but from the grace of God through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, acknowledging that it is only through the precious blood of Jesus Christ that we can be forgiven and made righteous in Your sight. We thank You for the ultimate sacrifice made on the cross, which has provided a way for us to be reconciled to You.

Lord, we pray for those who are seeking forgiveness and cleansing. Help them to understand that it is not through their own efforts, but through faith in Jesus Christ that they can be saved. We ask that You draw them closer to You, that they may experience the transforming power of Your love and grace.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

May we always remember that our hope and salvation are found in Jesus Christ alone. Let us continue to share this truth with others, encouraging them to turn to God and believe in His Son for eternal life.
