You know there's a movie coming out and it's probably - I can't remember quite the name, but it's all about a virus, the pandemic thing and the virus spreads and they can't do anything. No remedy! Sheer panic when people find there's no remedy. Imagine if there's a pandemic and it spreads and you can't - you know what you'll be looking for? You're going to die unless you get the remedy, see? And this is what this is about. These people are all about to die. They were about to die. You imagine, going to lose someone you love and they're going to die. You could do nothing about it - except God's remedy. And God gave them revelation; here's the remedy, take a lamb, a perfect lamb, a lamb without spot. Keep the lamb four days, inspect the lamb, slay the lamb, take the blood of the lamb, apply the blood to the lintel, apply it to the doorposts, and stay in the house, under the blood!
And the destroyer, seeing the blood and your faith in it, will pass. Oh, they were very glad to have that kind of inside information weren't they, because they heard the cries through the streets as family after family after family had their firstborn struck dead by the judgement of God. What was the remedy? It was always the blood. That was it. See when God set up, if you sin you'll die, He said, I know what you're going to do. I know exactly what's going to happen. I've already planned the remedy - the remedy is the blood, and actually it's not even the blood of an animal. It's the blood of my Son, and I've already planned it all out before you get down this track. I planned it out, that He already is willing to go. Even before you come up with your sin ideas, even before you go down messing it all up for everyone, I've already got a plan for a solution. It's called the blood of Jesus Christ, who was the lamb of God, slain before the foundation of the world, so before the world even began, God had a plan to solve it, anything that could come up, anything that could come up.
He figured out what man was likely to come up with, and He come up with a better plan called the blood of Jesus, the lamb that was slain. Why is it so significant? You see the blood of animals was only a temporary thing. It was never that that could keep a person free, or get them redeemed. It sufficed for one year, then they had to do it all again, because they kept sinning - but there's another offering, and why the blood of Jesus? Why His blood had to be shed - very simply, in a person's blood, so far as I understand it, the main part of the blood comes from the DNA of the father. The mother's DNA doesn't come into it. There's a separation of the mother's bloodstream, and the father, and the child's bloodstream. It's always kept separate. The two bloodstreams are completely separate, although there's food goes in, nutrition goes from one to the other - no blood exchanged. So the DNA, or the shaping of the blood, comes from the father, and of course Jesus, remember whose birth, that the Holy Spirit - Luke, Chapter 1 - came on Mary, and she conceived by the Holy Ghost. She got the DNA of God planted into her, so she never had the sinful nature - He never had the sinful nature of Adam. His blood was pure! His blood was without any sin! His blood was totally clean. He lived His life right before God, and so He was the lamb that was to be slain.
His blood was to be shed. His blood breaks curses. His blood breaks demonic powers. His blood breaks the hold of sin. His blood breaks inequity. His blood breaks transgression. His blood does it. There ain't no other way! You've got to know, not only what it does, but how to do it - and I'll share that another time.
Let me just finish with quoting these verses. In 1 Peter 1, Verse 17 to 18, it says you are redeemed, not with corruptible things like money, but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, highly valuable. Ephesians 1:7 it says in Him we have redemption. We have purchase out of sin, its power, influence of devils, curses, everything. We are brought out by the blood. What a great deal! This is getting better every verse you read it.
