There is a scarlet thread that runs through the entire bible starting in Genesis and culminating in the victory of Revelation. That scarlet thread points entirely to Jesus when he shed His blood on the cross at Calvary. In other words, that scarlet thread is the blood of Christ.

God has one plan for humanity and one plan only and he weaves that plan of salvation into the fabric of Scripture. “There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved,” Acts 4:12.

Leviticus 16 brings us to the most holy event for the Jewish people. It is Yom Kippur; the day of atonement. On this day the high priest made atonement for himself and for the people of Israel. On this day and this day alone, the high priest entered the most holy place in the tabernacle.

The mercy seat which covered the ark of the covenant was there. The very presence of the living God dwelt there in the holy of holies. No man could enter; no one could draw near to the presence of God in that place; only the high priest could come, once a year, carrying the blood of the sacrifice.

Part of that sacrifice included a goat, actually there were two goats. One would die, giving his life as payment for the sins of Israel. The other would live. The high priest would lay his hands on the head of the goat and confess all the sins of the people. Someone would then lead that goat, carrying the sins of the people out to the wilderness where it would be set free; never to return.

“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12

Many of the sacrifices and offerings had to do with blood. It’s one of the most important themes of the Bible; it’s the scarlet thread that runs from Genesis to Revelation.

The Jews were also restricted from eating blood. Life is in the blood and all life belongs to God. How precious is blood if it is the stream of life!

But the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins. It’s all a picture of the blood of Christ. Words cannot convey the preciousness of that blood! He is the Son of the living God, He was the Word made flesh, He was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

It’s by the precious blood of Jesus that sinners are reconciled to the living God. By that blood you are made right with God. And being made right with God is the foundation of everything else being made right in your life.

I. Everyone Needs the Blood of Christ

 Verse 6 - Aaron first had to offer a bull as a sin offering for himself. He was the high priest. If the high priest needs the blood of Christ, then everyone does.

 There are no exceptions; whether it be Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham, or anyone else, everyone needs the blood of Christ.

 In other words, you come to God through the blood of His Son, or you don’t come at all.

A. His blood has power to save

 The precious blood of Christ has the power to save; to save from what? To save you from the condemnation of the Law.

 The requirements of the law are the standards of righteousness and everyone falls short. Everyone. Moses, the high priest, you, me, everyone. There is none righteous, no, not one.

Galatians 3:10, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.”
 The law created constant fear and dread of failure.
CS Spurgeon: The life of a Hebrew, happy as it was compared with that of a heathen, was perfect drudgery compared to yours and mine. He was hemmed in with a thousand commands and prohibitions. He was always in danger of making himself unclean.
A thousand sins of ignorance were like so many hidden pits in his way; he must be perpetually in fear lest he should be cut off from the people of God.
