Jesus Changed Everything

30 The priest will offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Through this process, the priest will purify her before the Lord for the ceremonial impurity caused by her bleeding.
31 “This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.
- Leviticus 15


How complicated it is to perform the process of cleansing and purification when we have been unclean during the time of Moses. There are many things that causes a person to be unclean. When there's a skin rash possibly resulting to a skin disease, when your clothes or house has been contaminated, and when there's a bodily discharge by either a man or a woman. Even as simple as touching the unclean thing, man or woman, will make one become unclean too. The priest will quarantine the unclean person and examine them after a week. And if they are clean or healed of their uncleanliness, the priest will be offering and doing some rituals and sacrifices to GOD to complete the purification process. What a very tiring, and long process it is to be clean in GOD's eyes during the old times.

Are we not blessed that we do not live during those ancient times but that we live now. People who lived even after the death of Yeshua are considered blessed because they enjoy the same simplicity of living and pleasing GOD that we do now. What a huge difference that JESUS has made to every person knowing that to be cleansed we just need to have faith and ask for His blood to cleanse us and His Word to purify us of all sins. How convenient and easy it is for us because GOD has made it simple by just having faith in His Son Jesus so that those who will embrace and love the Savior can easily come to HIM. Do not take for granted what Yeshua has done for you on the cross, because what HE has done has changed everything. Jesus changed everything.
