The Great Offering

                                                           Hebrews 10:10
                                        "By the which will we are sanctified through the"
                                       "offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all"

          The body of Jesus! The blood of Jesus! Every time we spread the table and set the emblems we focus our attention on both. Who can measure the value of the body and the blood? God prized the body. He refused to allow corruption to touch it in the tomb. After Christ's death none but loving hands were allowed to touch t. God prized the blood. He calls it "the precious blood of Christ" (1 Peter 1:19).

          1.  The Body of Christ  (Hebrews 10:10)
               Christ has----
                a. A mystical body: the church
                b. A memorial body: the loaf on the table
                c. A material body: His physical body in which He suffered
                    and in which He is now enthroned on high

         2.   The Blood of Jesus  (Hebrews 10:19)
                a. Its Value: sin is shown in Scripture to be----
                   (1) A disease that only blood can cure
                   (2) A debt that only blood can cancel
                   (3) A defilement that only blood can cleanse
                b. Its Virtue: it brings us nigh to God

          Our access to God; "is the blood of Jesus Christ."

                                                         May God Bless You
                                                          And Your Families
