MFM Topic, Thur 28 March 2024: the perfect sacrifice (1)

Beloved! Remember Bridges and walls are made with the same materials. But though Bridge joins the people, But Wall divides the people. Are you a Bridge that link people together or you are a Wall that separates people.

Welcome to MFM Devotional, 28 March 24

PRAISE & WORSHIP:
Are you weary, are you heavyhearted?
Tell it to Jesus,
Tell it to Jesus;
Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus alone.

Chorus:
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
He is a friend that’s well known;
You’ve no other such a friend or brother,
Tell it to Jesus alone.

2 Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
Tell it to Jesus,
Tell it to Jesus;
Have you sins that to men’s eyes are hidden?
Tell it to Jesus alone.

[Chorus]

3 Do you fear the gath’ring clouds of sorrow?
Tell it to Jesus,
Tell it to Jesus;
Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
Tell it to Jesus alone.

[Chorus]

4 Are you troubled at the thought of dying?
Tell it to Jesus,
Tell it to Jesus;
For Christ’s coming kingdom are you sighing?
Tell it to Jesus alone.

[Chorus]

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 26, 1 Samuel 27, 1 Samuel 28; 1 Peter 3, 1 Peter 4

MEMORY VERSE  Hebrews 10:1-14
“For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Consider the work of Calvary a perfect work. It is perfect in every respect and is able to make you perfect.

28 MARCH PROPHETIC WORD
You shall be beneficiary from the blessings that flows from the perfect sacrifice unto your life, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 10:1-14

For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

² For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

³ But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

⁴ For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

⁶ In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

⁸ Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

⁹ Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

¹⁰ By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹ And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

¹² But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹³ From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

¹⁴ For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

28 MARCH MESSAGE:
The English word “perfect” signifies a completed work or project that needs no addition or subtraction. It refers to a perfect finishing that puts a seal of excellence on that work or thing.

Our God is perfect and His works are perfect, leaving no blemish, doubt, nor anything to add or remove. He is the embodiment of perfection. Whatever He does cannot be categorised as yet to be done or finished. It is not only a perfect work but the perfect work from the all-perfect God. This includes the work of the Cross upon which Jesus died for the sins of mankind. Having no sins, but at the request of the Father, He surrendered Himself for this once-for all sacrifice, for the redemption of man and reconciliation to God through His blood that was shed on the Cross of Calvary.

This is a serious matter that concerns you and me, if you are a sincere and committed child of God. Jesus paid for our sins through His blood even before we ever came to know and accept Him as our Lord and Saviour. He willingly placed Himself as the one and only sacrifice that is able to replace the yearly offerings that was done by the priests in the Old Testament.

The blood of animals couldn’t redeem man. Hence, the perfect sacrifice offered by Jesus our High Priest. Beloved, for your sake and my sake, He was both the high priest and the sacrifice! The Cross was the place of the offering to God Almighty.

What a love and compassion for Jesus to have done all these for our sakes! You don’t have anything to offer Him in return but your heart, your conscience and your entire life. It is through this perfect sacrifice that we access the throne of grace with boldness and ask for mercy (Hebrews 4:16). If not for this sacrifice, your existence would not find meaning.

As a child of God, Jesus’ life, death and resurrection bring meaning into who we are and to whom we belong. To have this realisation, therefore, is to be forever grateful to God, and make yourself also a living sacrifice everyday of your life, which the Bible calls “your reasonable service, worthy and acceptable service unto God.”
