Summary: - we're on a mission to do what God has told us to do, just like Jesus was on a mission when He was on the earth - when God's message is preached, miracles happen - 1 Cor. 1:18 - Paul reminds us that the cross is the basis of Christianity 7 things about the blood of Jesus: 1. It's royal blood - not the blood of just any ordinary man 2. It's precious blood - Jesus is God's only Son (John 3:16) 3. It's holy blood - it was innocent (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) 4. It's redeeming blood (Col. 1:13-14) - redemption means to purchase or buy back. Jesus purchased me back from the enemy 5. It's cleansing blood (1 John 1:9, Ps. 51:10) - we need to walk in the cleansing foundain of Jesus' blood. 6. It's willing blood - not forced blood (Phil.2:8) - Jesus was willing to complete the mission. 7. It's powerful blood (1 Cor. 1:18) - Jesus' power is in His blood. When mixed with my faith by my action, nothing is impossible.
