Rend Collective’s song ‘Your Royal Blood’ reminds us of the victory which Jesus, the King of Kings, won for us at Calvary:
‘Your blood will never lose its power.
Your blood will never lose.
Your victory will stand forever
Your blood will never lose.
This was won upon the cross;
This was written on his scars.
This has made us conquerors.
Nothing but Your royal blood,
Nothing but Your royal blood.’
As we took Communion, we reflected on the fact that normally, a king asks his people to sacrifice their lives for him and for the greater good of the country. Christ. however, sacrificed His own life for us. Eph 2:13 reminds us that this sacrifice brought us near to God and Heb 9:14 reminds us that the blood of Christ is able to cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so we may serve the living God. We can never thank God enough for all He has done for us.
‘To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.‘ (Rev 1:5-6)
