30Next, Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as Aaron’s sons and their garments.
“Yes, brethren, we need to know that double anointing, the blood of Jesus which cleanses, and the oil of the Holy Spirit which perfumes us. It is well to see how these two blend in one… It is a terrible blunder to set the blood and the oil in opposition, they must always go together.” (Spurgeon)
When I read this quote from Spurgeon it reminded me of a Randy Travis song,
Pray for the Fish. It’s about a well known sinner in a small town and the people are betting he won’t change after he comes to Christ and is baptized.
But this is how mercy and grace works! Jesus takes away all your sins great or small and all sin is dirty to the Lord.
Satan tries to convince us that we’ve gone too far and the Lord won’t forgive us.
But Jesus’s love for you is greater than Satans whispers!
Never forget, He went to the cross for you!
Matthew 3:16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.
After you accepted and received His mercy and grace, were you baptized?
Blessings, David
