Today, we’ll be in Hebrews chapter nine, verses 11-15. In this episode, entitled “Blood Bought,” we’ll see that Jesus’ death was effective because His innocent blood was shed. He paid the penalty for our sin with His own blood. Which is exactly what He foreshadowed to His disciples that night in the upper room when they celebrated the Passover meal together. He said, “this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:28). With His death, Jesus bought us, redeemed us, out of slavery to sin and death so that we might be made righteous and enjoy a right relationship with God.
