Join us for Passion Sunday on Sunday, March 22, 2015

In the Letter to the Hebrews, in the Ninth Chapter, we hear a contrast between how the priest used to purify the "holy place," (or the Holy of Holies) as opposed to Our Blessed Saviour purifying humanity.  Both involve blood.  One by the "blood of goats and calves" (Hebrews 9:12) and the other purification "by His own Blood."  (v.12)  To understand why blood was so important in both acts, it is vital that we look back to the Old Testament and look in the Book of Leviticus.  Let us look at Leviticus 17:11  "For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."  In this light, Our Blessed Saviour shed His own Blood at Calvary to atone for our sins . . . to make atonement for the wrongs we have committed . . . . to purify us.  Every drop of the Precious Blood of Jesus that dripped from that Cross at Calvary was shed on your behalf.  He shed it for your purification and your sanctification.  And just like the priests of old sprinkled blood to purify the "Holy of Holies" and the "Holy Place," Christ shed His Blood to purify you!  You are purified by the Blood of the Lamb of God!  We must never forget this point.  Christ died on the Cross and shed His Precious Blood on that first Good Friday so that He could die for us; purify us by His Blood; and begin the process of allowing us to rise again with Him.  It is only through death that we can rise again.  It is only through Christ's Death and Passion, that we are allowed the opportunity to die to our own sins.
