  1. Hebrews 9:11-15 11 When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. 12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

  2. 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

  3. 15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

  4. The Power of the BloodHebrews 9 - 10 Hebrews is written mainly to believers who are Jewish Some of the themes do not make sense to us Blood Intermediary

  5. Why does the bible talk about blood so much? Blood was and is central to the understanding of Hebrew thought Blood is life The blood of a sacrifice pays the debt or cleanses

  6. Leviticus 17 10“ ‘I will set my face against any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who eats blood, and I will cut them off from the people. 11For 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.

  7. Modern culture tells us that this is true No blood equals no life We also know that blood carries life but it also carries disease

  8. Hebrews 9 13 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.

  9. Hebrews 9 10 They are only a matter of food and drink and various ceremonial washings—external regulations applying until the time of the new order.

  10. Blood is so important That the old covenant And the new covenant They were put into effect by blood

  11. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. 19 When Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”

  12. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

  13. We may think that only Hebrew culture has this belief In reality, even we in modern culture agree, that death (lack of blood) enforces a gift (a will)

  14. 16 In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living.

  15. The blood of Christ pays the debt His death brings into effect the new covenant We benefit from his death We can claim what is ours based on a family connection Our faith

  16. Once we understand the power of the blood… It becomes easier to understand the concept that Jesus is the mediator

  17. 15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

  18. 24 For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

  19. Mediator Works things out between two parties Smooth things over Brings two parties together under a clear understanding

  20. The clear understanding is this… Jesus paid the price for us He could now address God on our behalf because we now had a connection that was stable

  21. Hebrews 10 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

  22. 2 If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, 4 because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

  23. This mediator, unlike the human priests, makes a covenant that is once and for all It is permanent Dependable Set in stone

  24. 19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

  25. Because we no longer have to live with the insecurity of our life and destiny We can concentrate on life On acts of kindness On living and being together

  26. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

  27. Putting it all together The blood is a life giving force Blood often reminds us of death But blood is also a reminder of life Because Christ gave his blood sacrifice he has given us the gift of life

  28. Putting it all together Mediator is a term we don’t use often in our culture In reality the idea of mediator is how we often function in life People who help us, interpret for us, guide us, give feed back or open doors We can be mediators for people to know Christ

  29. Putting it all together Assurance leads to life It allows us to live life in Christ It frees us up to really go about living The blood of Christ removes our sin, guilt, fear and shame so we can live

  30. We are the Federated Church. Our Mission is to… Seek Christ, Serve Christ andShare Christ.
