The Irreplaceable Blood Of Jesus Christ
Calvary greetings to you members of the Kingdom family.Happy Easter Friday to you all. It's my first time posting in this community, and I hope I'm welcomed.
I discovered this community a few days ago, and I thought as much to share my view with you. I want to speak on the theme of the Irreplaceable blood of Jesus.

We all know what today is and what it's meant for. We; christians, understand it better. To me it's not a day of joy, I say so because today is the day our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross of Calvary
I want you to know that what he did, wasn't an easy task. At some point, he was afraid to die because the power of death took over his life.
The scripture says that our Lord Jesus Christ pleaded with his father that if there was any other way for him to take away the cup, he should do that.
But his father didn't do that because he was meant to die, and without him dying, we wouldn't have been redeemed.
Indeed, the Irreplaceable blood of Jesus Christ can cleanse us from all our sins.
I learned today in a Bible study that in the olden days, the blood of animals was used for atonement and forgiveness of sins.
But the blood was effective to some extent. It didn't forgive sins as they say, but what it did offer was it covered people's sins.
But when Jesus decided to offer his life on the cross of Calvary as the only perfect sacrificial lamb, a lamb without blemish, Redemption came to man.
And now, I can boldly say that his blood has brought total redemption to mankind. If he did die, we wouldn't have been opportune to have direct access to him.
He's our father, his blood was spilled on our behalf
I remember what the bible said about the Jews and Pontus Pilate.
He was punished by the Jews because Pontus Pilate washed his hands off Jesus' death. Even those who he helped claimed not to have anything to do with him.
He bore his cross and carried the shame alone. What exactly did he do to deserve such maltreatment? He did nothing. He only did as it was written.
He was beaten and taken to Golgotha. He wept bitterly because he was in deep pain. At the sixth hour of the day, he was nailed to the cross.
The bible recorded that both water and blood came out from his side. He cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli Eli lá ma sabach_ thá ni? Meaning, my God, my God, and why have you forsaken me?
The bible recorded that there was an earthquake, and the curtain of the temple was torn into two, from the top to the bottom;
The rocks were also split. The tomb opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep, according to the book of Matthew, chapter 27: 52, were raised.
When he told the people that he would rise again on the third day, they thought he was joking. So they decided to send some guards to stay around his grave so that they could kill him again.
But one thing they didn't know was that Jesus was the first person to enter the land of the dead and get a key, Which he used to unlock the souls of the faithful departed. The guards were still watching till the time was at hand. They didn't know when it would happen, but when the king of kings resurrected, all the guards were busy sleeping.
Christ was resurrected with victory and power. Even the grave, couldn't hold him.
Some aspect that makes Jesus' blood to be so unique
(1) Divine origin
(2) The blood was sinless.
(3) Powerful for salvation
(4) He offered himself.
In conclusion, let's accept this love that he gave to us wholeheartedly, and do all we ought to do to his glory.
Thank you for your time.
I remain your favorite girl @joyben.
