THE PURPOSE AND MEANING OF EASTER

The power of the blood of Jesus

Exodus 12:21
Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb.

1 Corinthians 5: 7
 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

EASTER = passage from death to life.

"Christ is our Passover" and the purpose of the Passover reminds us that we have been freed from sin.

God made a covenant through the blood of Jesus, but this covenant must be fulfilled in our lives to receive the benefits.

"When there is repentance, you enter the covenant of the blood of Christ".

Efesi 2:12
Remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

The enemy knows that in the blood of Christ there is power to free and to make demonic oppressions disappear.
The blood of Christ still has the same power now as when it was shed.

When you speak of the blood of Christ, you are saying "tetelestai".
No one can be saved without the revealed work of the blood of Jesus which can redeem life.

There are no other ways to salvation, to pass from darkness to light, except through the blood of Christ.

When there is the great commission, there is a chance for the lost to be saved.

Romani 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

The blood of Jesus has the power to blot out and forgive sins.

Leviticus 17: 10-11
“ 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. ¹¹ For 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".

IThe value of the blood of Jesus corresponds to the value of the Blood of the Saint, of the one who is without sin.

When the power of the Blood of Jesus is applied, the life of Christ is applied.

Apocalisse 19:13

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the "Word of God".

When we declare his blood, demons run away and diseases disappear

Exodus 12:22
Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning.

Hebrews 11:28
 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel..

Apocalisse 12:11
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death..

When you apply blood by faith, God will be obliged to protect you and deliver you from any crisis.

The Bible contains and reveals God's will for everyone's life.

Whenever the gospel is preached, people pass from the book of death to the book of the son of God.

Whoever stands under the cover of the blood of Christ is protected.
