"The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one " - 2Thessalonians 3:3

PRAYER INTENTION

Pray for your own personal intentions.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasure of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to your holy will which is love and mercy itself. Amen

After the drama in Hell, Jesus resurrected, came back into this realm and was able to finish the sacrifice as the high priest that was why- when Mary Magdalene wanted to touch him, He said no don't touch me yet, " Do not hold me yet - Jesus told her, "because I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go and tell my brothers and tell them that I am returning to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God" - John 20:17

Why was Jesus going to the Father? This what he told Mary- I paid so much price to get this atonement and now I got to get this blood to the heavenly tabernacle, So Hebrews 9:11-27 will read- “But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining[b] eternal redemption. The blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant .

Don't forget that the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.-Hebrews 9:22

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

So Jesus entered the heavenly sanctuary-he was both the lamb and high priest and I told you there is a law, that the age and quality of the lamb determines validity of the atonement so, the BLOOD of GOD , which is the life of God, who is the ancient of days, the ageless one that blood was rained when Jesus went to heaven, he poured it upon heavenly tabernacle.

The moment that happened he came down now and started revealing himself to the disciples and the doubters and he said where is that doubter, Thomas- oya dey put your finger in the nail holes on my body- dey touch me- touch any part of my body you want to, you can no longer defile me , the transaction has been done, this was the revelation Paul saw and said wow – 1 Corinthians 2:8, CSB: "None of the rulers of this age knew this wisdom, because if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." Hidden wisdom of God- wow- God the master strategist par excellence-

And guess what... Satan was part of those who acted this movie to make sure man was saved- that is why St Paul will say in Romans 8:28, "We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him" that is why every time you mention and invoke the BLOOD of JESUS with faith and understanding it reminds Satan of his foolishness and stupidity and makes him powerless- It reminds him that the price has been paid and that - he was part of those who ensured that the price was paid.

So when the disciples touched Jesus, he to them said all authority in heaven and earth has been given to me, and he began to teach them a lot of things, this were the mysteries that he was teaching them for forty days in Acts 1 before he ascended back to heaven. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God .- Acts 1:3b
