The Precious Blood of Christ

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. — 1 Peter 1:18-19 

We were redeemed from the empty way of life.

From the life handed down to us from our ancestors.

We were not purchased with silver or gold.

We were saved by the precious blood of Christ.

He gave himself just like a lamb without blemish or defect.

Led to the altar as our sacrificial lamb.

You Were Redeemed from the Empty Way of Life

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. — 1 Peter 1:18-19

We were not bought with silver or gold.

Rather, God purchased us with the blood of His Son, Jesus.

He redeemed me from my empty way of life.

I had no way to purchase my salvation.

My sin was handed down to me from my ancestors.

Jesus served as the lamb without blemish or defect.

He was the perfect sacrifice for me.

Not perishable things, but with His precious blood.

Precious Blood as of a Lamb

Knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. — 1 Peter 1:18-19

We were redeemed with precious blood.

Jesus had no blemish - He was spotlesss.

The perfect sacrifice in our place.

His blood shed once and for always for me.

Iwas not redeemed with things of this world.

Those things will pass away, but the love of Jesus will last forever.

Thank You, Lord.

 

He Knows the Way I Take

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.— Job 23:10-11

Welcome, March!

Last night we had choir in person.

Socially distanced and wearing masks.

Really fun to be back singing together.

Working on music for Good Friday and Easter.

On Saturday we will sing for our service for the first time in about a year.

And Abby will get her first vaccine this week.

Praise God for His goodness.

He cares for us in many ways.

God knows the way that we take.

We are grateful.
