Blood Of The Lamb Quotes

“The ritual of the blood on the lintel of the door, which protected the Israelites from the angel of death, is an apotropaic (avoidance) ritual, such that the family in question would be 'passed over' by the aforementioned denizen of death. Later Jewish and Christian ideas that amalgamated this story with ideas about the scapegoat’s providing a substitutionary remedy should not be read into the original tale. The scapegoat symbolized the removal of sin from the nation and perhaps the judging of a substitute. The blood of the Passover lamb on the door symbolized not a sacrifice for sin but rather protection from divine judgment. There is a difference.”

“Damu, mto wa maisha unaotiririsha maji yake mwilini kwa kusukumwa na pampu za moyo na kuchujwa na fizi za mapafu, inaundwa na seli na maji yaitwayo utegili au maji ya damu, ambayo kazi yake ni kusafirisha oksijeni na virutubisho katika kila sehemu ya mwili, ndani yake kuna roho. Mungu alitoa kafara ya damu kwa ajili ya Adamu na Hawa katika Bustani ya Edeni. Ibrahimu alitoa kafara ya damu kwa ajili ya Israeli ijapokuwa mapenzi ya Mungu kwa Israeli yalikwisha baada ya kusulubiwa kwa Yesu Kristo. Wana wa Israeli walitoa kafara za damu kwa ajili ya wokovu wa watoto wao wa kwanza na watoto wa kwanza wa wanyama wao nchini Misri. Mungu alitoa kafara ya damu ya Yesu Kristo nchini Israeli kwa ajili ya wanadamu wote duniani. Damu ya mwanakondoo ina nguvu kuliko maombi, imetiwa wakfu na Mwenyezi Mungu na ina uhusiano mkubwa na ulimwengu wa roho. Ukifunikwa na damu ya mwanakondoo Shetani hatakuona. Shetani asipokuona, utafanikiwa.”

“Hutaweza kumiliki watu bila damu ya Mwanakondoo.”
― Enock Maregesi

“Damu ya Mwanakondoo ina nguvu kuliko maombi. Mungu hauwi, Anamtumia Shetani kama wakala wake wa kutoa adhabu kwa binadamu. Ukifunikwa na damu ya Mwanakondoo Shetani, ambaye ni wakala, hatakuona. Lakini Mungu atakuona. Bila kafara ya damu hakuna msamaha wa dhambi. Bila kafara ya damu hakuna mafanikio.”
― Enock Maregesi

“Mungu ni mtakatifu na kwa maana hiyo hatendi dhambi. Hivyo, hauwi wala hatesi. Tunajiua na kujitesa wenyewe. Ametupa hiari ya kuchagua mema au mabaya. Lakini anamtumia Shetani kama wakala wake wa kutoa adhabu kwa binadamu pale tunapoenenda sawasawa na machukizo yake. Damu ina nguvu kuliko Shetani na ina nguvu kuliko kuzimu. Unapojifunika kwa damu ya Mwanakondoo, Shetani hataweza kukuona. Hivyo, hataweza kukudhuru. Lakini usipojifunika kwa damu ya Mwanakondoo, Shetani atakuona. Hivyo, atakudhuru. Atakudhuru kwa sababu Mungu atakuwa ameruhusu akudhuru, kwa sababu ya uhuru wa kuchagua mema au mabaya aliotupatia, ijapokuwa ana uwezo wa kuzuia asikudhuru. Kwa mtindo huo Mungu anakuwa ametoa adhabu kwa binadamu.”

“And what is it that binds all believers together? It is not creeds, it is not churches, it is not doctrines; it is the blood of the Lamb”
― Stevenson A. Blackwood

“Now, this separation from the world is accomplished
only by the blood of Jesus. It was when the Israelites were saved by the blood of the lamb that they were separated from Egypt—not before.

All the other miracles did nothing for them in that respect—they never brought them out of Egypt . They were not to come out of Egypt before, but after the lamb was slain, and the blood sprinkled. It is only when you know the power of the blood of the Lamb of God that you are able to be separate from the world.”
― Stevenson A. Blackwood

“No separation from the world ever saved a soul. It was not by leaving Egypt that the Israelites were saved, but by the blood of the lamb; and so it is by faith in the blood of Jesus that your souls are to be saved. First salvation and then —in its right order—separation from the world. It is not by giving up the world or the things of the world that you can gain Christ, but it is by taking Christ as your Saviour that you get power to give up the things of the world. First drink of the water of life—it is offered "without money and without price" in Christ —and you will not thirst after the waters of this world. Taste of the "river of God's pleasures," and you will cease to care for the "pleasures of sin.”
― Stevenson A. Blackwood

“I painted his door. I mean that I painted it with red lacquer. Also, I wrote out a piece of calligraphy for him, a magical charm: ‘Protect this dwelling from dragons.’ The fellow’s quite happy with it, he’s convinced it works. In fact, it does.”
