whats important?

there are some things that get repeated in church services so much that its like when someone starts saying something i almost zone out. not disrespectfully but just my mind thinking i know this. like i know how to do x, know what to do when y, and get what z means to me right... but knowing, understanding and doing are 3 different things. stuff gets repeated time and time again not because they dont know what else to say, but rather because God values it highly and i need to keep hearing it till i start living in the truth of that principle or fact... The other day at church something was said about God's value system before we took communion and its been on my mind all week coz its something i never considered before. God adjectives shows us whats more important to him... "precious blood" vs "merely silver and gold"... its time i started taking what God thinks is important more seriously... i need to keep seking the kingdom first too.

in the old testament, regardless of whether it was the consecration of a priest, the birth of a son, protection from the angel of death, the deepest penitence due to sin, or the highest religious festival, basically the way to fellowship with God was through the shedding of blood. In the new testament, its the same principle - but what the OT portrays through pictures and figures, the NT presents in person and fact. New and Old testament there is one dominant theme "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness" - Hebrews 9:22

Its scientific, biological fact that the blood of a human is formed by itself and the sole contribution is from the male parent and no blood ever passes from mother to child. man it exciting just thinkin about this...so since Jesus was born of a virgin, the blood that passed through his veins had to have been contributed his father. ie a Holy God. so the blood of Jesus was perfect blood - like a lamb without spot or blemish (1 Peter 1:18-19), he was innocent (Matthew 27:4). It was the only blood that could substitute my life, nothing else could qualify.

[Pause] This is too deep for me to explain, im having a lightbulb moment

I've been redeemed = bought at an non-refundable price and no one can outbid God on ebay for me (lol its early, allow me)...Iv been justified = declared free - just as if i neva did anything... iv been cleansed and washed in the blood = no evidence, im as whiter than white, better than Vanish Oxy-action (lol i said allow me - iv only had 4 hours sleep) ... The more i think about it, the more i am amazed and even flabbergasted...like how the crucifiction was a sacrifice - not just coz Jesus died and blood was shed but that it cost the Father, and not only something but everything - that was his Son!! He separated Himself from his son so that I might never be separated from Him...deep. and now i can boldly go up to Him whenever i want to (Hebrews 10:19).

So when the Jesus said "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." 1 Corinthians 11:35...boi do i need to remember!! The blood is not something to take lightly.... i think He loves me too much for real.

speakin of blood, i keep meaning to give blood - freely iv recieved right, mehh y not
