“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:”
1 Peter 1:18-19 KJV
Peter puts the glorious Gospel as clearly and simply as possible. Our lives were ransomed once and for all from the empty and futile way of life handed down from generation to generation. It was not a ransom payment of silver and gold, which eventually perishes, but the precious Blood of Christ, Who like a spotless, unblemished Lamb was sacrificed for us. This is the payment of every human that was born and will be born on this planet. How precious we are to Him that He should pay the price of His own Blood for us. This glorious truth humbles us to know what a price was paid for us. Let’s bow down and worship the Lamb of God for He alone is worthy to be worshipped. Thank You for Your Blood Sacrifice on my behalf, Lord Jesus!
