"Redemption"

THE SCARLET THREAD OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS
by
Kent Cooley

(Adapted from Gen 3:21; Revelation 7:14)

Several years ago I had the privilege of serving as music minister and adult Sunday school teacher at a church in High Point, NC. When I was given this position to teach, I felt led to begin in Genesis and study “The Scarlet Thread of the Blood of Jesus” throughout scripture. It began with the account of how God made coats of skin for Adam and Eve. This was the first shedding of blood for the covering of their nakedness. This foreshadowed the blood of Jesus. The study lasted for over a year of Sunday mornings and it ended in Revelation 7:14.

These are they which came out of great tribulation,

and have washed their robes,

and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Father, thank you for the scarlet thread of the blood of Your son, Jesus. Thank you for the promise shown in many types and shadows throughout all history of the blood of the Lamb shed for us. I acknowledge that only the blood of Your Son, Jesus can wash away my sins. I receive the redemption You have provided me through the Lamb slain for us now. Thank you for the blood of Jesus.

BROKEN FOR YOU

Devotion:

(Adapted from Hebrews 9:22; Acts 4:12 Rev 13:8; John 1:29; Isaiah 53:5)

Verse 1:

Without the shedding of blood

There’s no remission of sin, no remission at all

And there’s no other name whereby we are saved,

So on Him we call

We were under condemnation,

But for every situation

He was slain from the foundation of the world

Chorus:

Broken for me and He was broken for you

At the whipping post for my healing was bruised

I can’t contain so much love that my Lord would pursue

See the blood streaming down from the cross it is true

Jesus was broken for me

His body was broken for you

Verse 2:

Throughout the old testament

There’s a scarlet thread of the blood of the lamb

And the question was asked,

Where’s the Lamb without spot or blemish for us

The question was finally answered

As John the Baptist did stand

The moment that he saw Jesus he cried,

“Behold the Lamb”
