HUMAN RESCUE VS JESUS CHRIST'S RESCUE OF YOU AND ME!!!!!!!!!
During the first two years of my military service, the most important duty that I had was serving
as a member of the "crash crew".
That took place on a naval air station in Washington State. The duty of the crash crew was to be
observing all planes as they took off and as they landed.
As it's name ("crash crew") indicates, It was our duty to watch for plane crashes.....when we saw
one, we were to quickly drive to the location, extinguish the fire, and rescue the flight crew, and to
also rescue any passengers.
While serving on the crash crew, members were assigned duties based on the level of training)
which they had experienced.
New recruits started out as a "turret man". A "turret man" rode on top of the cab of the fire
truck--- and he operated a turret gun---by aiming a nozzle which shot forth (either water or foam
onto the fire.
After turret man, you were promoted to being a "hose man". Hose men maneuvered a fire hose
in order to move closer to the fire. The next position available was to become a "rescue man".
As a "rescue man" your job was to get inside the crashed plane.....and rescue
all the flight crew, and all passengers.
Next after rescue man, you could become a truck driver.
I am sure that many of you have seen on TV news, or maybe in the movies (where a white foam
is sprayed around the plane). That is done to prevent explosions and more fire.
In my tour of duty there, (By God's grace), I eventually made it to the position of "rescue man".
Later, I became a truck driver. The truck that I drove was a "tanker truck"---which was used to provide extra water, or foam,----for the fire trucks.
All that (above).....to "set the scene" so that I can tell you the main points of this message:
At the time (1964---65) that I served on the crash crew.....the ingredients that were mixed to-
gether to make the foam were: air, water, and animal blood!!!
The animal blood was obtained from meat-packing factories. The meat-packing factories are (in today's language) called an abattoir (pronounced "aba-twah"). Of course, in today's fire-fighting
-----they probably use different ingredients.
Now, let's look at some of GOD'S WORD (proof of the truth!!!):
"But Christ came as High Priest of the greater, more perfect tabernacle not made with human hands,
not with the blood of goats and calves, but with HIS OWN BLOOD He entered the Most Holy Place (ONCE FOR ALL!!!) time and into eternity having obtained eternal redemption." (Hebrews 9:11-12).
(from study notes and other research)---"Jesus Christ came into History as an ETERNAL PRIEST
to offer an ETERNAL SACRIFICE for sin. The shedding of HIS BLOOD provided a PERMANENT SACRIFICE for sin, and a permanent covenant bond between GOD and man.
Or to put it another way---(SEE Romans 8:16)
Animal blood [from an (abattoir/"abi-twah)]") is inadequate, and must be repeated often.....
But JESUS CHRIST'S blood (from ABBA is a PERMANENT SACRIFICE) and a PERMANENT
COVENANT BOND between GOD and man.
Jesus offered as a sacrifice HIS OWN BLOOD. If the sacrifice of animals could achieve CEREMONIAL cleansing, HOW MUCH MORE will the SPIRITUAL SACRIFICE of JESUS
CHRIST cleanse the soul!!!
UNDER THE COVERING OF JESUS CHRIST'S BLOOD:
1)Salvation (Mark 14:24/Acts 4:12) 9)Redemption (Eph.1:7
2)Forgiveness ((Hebrews 9:22) 10)Justification (Rom. 5:8-9.
3)Peace (Colossians (1:19-20) 11)Sanctification (Heb.13:12
4)Protection (Exodus 12:13) 12) Washing (Rev.1:5
5)Healing (Isaiah 53:5) 13) Overcoming Power (Rev. 12:11
6)Provision (Psalm 105:37a) 14) Speaking Power (Heb. 12:24
7)Life (Psalm105:37b) 15)Accessing ability (Heb. 10:19
8)Cleansing (1 John 1:7)
OH!!! THE PRECIOUS AND POWER BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!
Because JESUS CHRIST laid down His life for me and for you!!!!!!!!!
