Without Shedding of Blood There Is No Remission

Without shedding of blood there is no remission - Hebrews 9:22.

1. Sweating blood in Gethsemane

And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground." In Gethsemane, because He was willing to identify Himself with the sin of the world, His Blood began to flow in the drops of sweat - Luke 22:44.

 2. Struck and beaten

 Then they spat in His face and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands, saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who is the one who struck You?” - Matthew 26:67,68. I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting - Isaiah 50:6.

3. Beard plucked out

The Lord God has opened My ear; and I was not disobedient, nor did I turn back. I gave My back to those who strike Me, and My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard, I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting. The hair of His beard was pulled out - Isaiah 50: 5-6.

4. Back scourged

Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified - Matthew 27:26. The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long – Psalm 129:3.

5. Crown of thorns

When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” - Matthew 27:29.

6. Crucified

 Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots” - Matthew 27:35.

7. Side pierced 

But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out - John 19:34.
