希伯来书9:15: 15为此，他作了新约的中保，既然受死赎了人在前约之时所犯的罪过，便叫蒙召之人得着所应许永远的产业。16凡有遗命，必须等到留遗命的人死了（遗命原文与约字同）。17因为人死了，遗命才有效力；若留遗命的尚在，那遗命还有用处么？18所以，前约也不是不用血立的。19因为摩西当日照着律法将各样诫命传给众百姓，就拿朱红色绒和牛膝草，把牛犊、山羊的血和水洒在书上，又洒在众百姓身上，说：20“这血就是神与你们立约的凭据。”21他又照样把血洒在帐幕和各样器皿上。22按着律法，凡物差不多都是用血洁净的，若不流血，罪就不得赦免了。
“并不是所有动物的血（都能赦罪）。”旧约之下所献的所有祭物都在提醒一件特别的事情。“若不流血，罪就不得赦免了”
当赦免发生的时候，意味着有人必须付出代价。如果你的邻居在背后说你的闲话，你宽恕他所犯下的罪，那么你是那个为赦免而付出代价的人。你的名声可能已经受到玷污，而且很有可能再也无法完全复原了。即使你公开发布一条声明，也没有办法完全恢复你的名声。
当你罪得赦免时，谁来为你的赦免付出赎价呢？当耶稣在十字架上流出宝血的时候，上帝自己付出了代价。若不流血，罪就不得赦免了。你自己的血无法为你的罪付出代价，因为你不够完美。只有耶稣完美的宝血才能赎你的罪。上帝因为耶稣宝血的缘故赦免了你的罪。但赦免你的那一位为了你的罪得赦免却付出了代价。
祷告：天父，我接受了洗礼，我得洁净，藉着耶稣为我流的宝血我得赦免。我向你承认我的罪，因为我每一天都会犯罪。但是你在你的话语中应许我们：“你的儿子，耶稣基督的宝血使我们所有的罪得洁净。”阿们。
Hebrews 9: 15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. 16 In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, 17 because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. 18 This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. 19 When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” 21 In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
“Not all the blood of beasts.” All those sacrifices made in under the Old Covenant were a reminder of especially one thing. “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”
When forgiveness is offered, someone always pays. If your neighbor has gossiped against you, and you forgive him the sin he committed, then you are the one who pays the price of that forgiveness. Your reputation has been sullied and will likely never be restored completely. There is really nothing, even making an announcement on Facebook, that will restore your reputation completely.
Who paid the ransom price for your forgiveness? God himself paid the price when Jesus shed his blood on the cross. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Your own blood could not pay the price for your sins, because you are not perfect. Only the perfect blood of Jesus can atone for your sins. God forgives your sins for the sake of the blood of Jesus. The one who forgives you paid for your forgiveness!
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I am washed, I am cleansed, I am forgiven in the blood that Jesus shed for me! I freely confess my sins to you, for I sin every day, and often. But your promised in your Word, “The blood of Jesus Christ, your Son, cleanses us from all sin!” Amen.
