The Christian Life

January 20, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.

John 6:56

 

How do you define the Christian life? My definition is as follows: the essence and totality of the Christian life is to abide in Jesus and for Him to abide in us. What does that mean? It means that we’re in Him and He’s in us. Nothing more and nothing less!

As mentioned before, Jesus used eating and drinking as a metaphor for believing. Those necessities indicate dependence. Why do you think God decided to have faith as the only condition for salvation? I believe the answer is simple: faith doesn’t look to itself. It isn’t man-centered. Rather, it looks to Jesus for everything and finds satisfaction in Him alone.

He said: “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst” (John 6:35). We’re invited to come, eat, and drink, experiencing deep satisfaction. When we eat His flesh and drink His blood—believe in who He is and what He has accomplished and obtained—we abide in Him and He abides in us.

That reality is seen throughout the New Testament. Salvation is defined as being in Christ. For example: “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 6:23). John wrote: “And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son” (1 John 5:11). Being “in his Son” is both a work of God and a life of faith.

In Corinthians we see that it’s God’s work: “And because of him [the Father] you are in Christ Jesus . . .” (1 Cor. 1:30). In Romans we read how we were grafted into Christ (see Rom. 11:17). This work of God is evidenced by our faith.

Ultimately, our abiding in Jesus and Him abiding in us are one and the same. Jesus gave the perfect illustration: “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

While it’s the Father who has united us to Jesus, we have an essential part in order to abide in Him. We are to daily live in the reality of His perfect righteousness (His flesh) and all-sufficient sacrifice (His blood). As we do so, we abide in Him and will experience His life within us. Indeed, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27).

True Food and Drink

January 19, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

John 6:55

 

Whenever we read true, it indicates that everything else is false. They’re opposites. God has created us with a void that only He can fill. Before Adam and Eve’s fall into sin, they were truly satisfied and fulfilled, having daily fellowship with their Creator.

The serpent’s bait was to instill the thought that the grass was greener on the other side. Little did Eve know that it was a disastrous deception. Since then, man has been trying to find fulfillment with “that which does not satisfy” (Isa. 55:2).

While most of man’s pursuits do satisfy for a moment, they’re short lived. Many times they leave a greater emptiness. Man is always pursuing fulfillment, but never truly finding it. He’s like a hamster on his never ending wheel.

Furthermore, when life has ended, those who’ve never turned back to God will have an everlasting longing without any hope of fulfillment: “And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame’” (Luke 16:24).

It’s in light of man’s inner void and pending condemnation that Jesus offers Himself as true food and drink. He alone can satisfy our hearts! Everything else is false and fails to lastingly fulfill us. That’s why the Bible calls sin—anything we pursue in place of God—deceitful desires (Eph. 4:22). We believe it will bring satisfaction and fulfillment, but only leaves us dissatisfied and empty.

When Jesus mentioned His flesh and blood, He referred to His life and death. He lived a righteous life and poured it out in a sacrificial death. His righteousness and blood is our salvation, which God freely gave for our everlasting enjoyment and eternal satisfaction.

Jesus stated that we should continually eat His flesh and drink His blood. That means we should continually come to Him and live in the reality of what He has accomplished and obtained. He is to be our very life. As a result, we’ll be the eternal beneficiaries of His righteousness and blood, justifying, sanctifying, and glorifying us. That is what it means to be a Christian, daily living on Him.

Eternal Life

January 18, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

John 6:54

 

Last time we highlighted our natural life and utter need for Jesus’ flesh and blood, giving us new life. Today, we’ll consider the whoever and define eternal life.

There are many whoever statements throughout the Bible, indicating that God’s salvation is freely offered to anyone who wants to receive it. For example, “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.” (Isa. 55:1). God’s unconditional plea is to everyone.

When Jesus walked this earth, He also proclaimed such an invitation: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:28-30). Jesus invited everyone to come to Him and find true rest.

The Bible closes with a similar, universal invitation: “The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price” (Rev. 22:17). In the King James Version we read: “And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” There’s a universal offer to eternally experience the satisfying fullness of God.

We are to simply come and receive by faith. When we do so, we have eternal life, which is diametrically opposed to our natural life. The definition of this new life—our new self—is as follows: “Created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness” (Eph. 4:24). Peter described it as becoming “partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire” (2 Pet. 1:4). This partaking is a gradual process.

The essence of eternal life is growing in the knowledge of God, which is ad infinitum: “And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:3). Jesus offered Himself freely for such bliss to whosoever will. His blood is all-sufficient to secure out eternal life.

Natural Life

January 14, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

At one point, before we were saved, we only had “natural” life. Jesus’ sacrificial death obtained our “spiritual” life.

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.

John 6:53

 

The basic necessities of life are water and food. We can live without other things, but not without those. Jesus used that in relation to our spiritual life. Unless we eat His flesh and drink His blood, we have no life within us.

In the next four devotionals we’ll look at the passage in John 6:53-56. We’ll see what it means to have “no life in you” (v. 53), to have eternal life (v. 54), to eat His flesh and drink His blood (v. 55), and to abide in Him (v. 56).

There’s natural and spiritual life. Everyone has natural life at birth. That doesn’t end—we’re never annihilated. We continue to exist, even when we lay down our physical body. There’s also spiritual life, which is a life in relation to God. We can only have that when we’re born again—born from above.

Jesus stated that as follows: “That which is born of the flesh [through our parents] is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit [through God] is spirit.” He then continued, “Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again’” (John 3:6-7).

Paul defined our natural life as hostile to God: “For the mind that is set on the flesh [the fleshly mind, referring to our natural life] is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh [having only natural life] cannot please God” (Rom. 8:7-8).

In Ephesians we read: “They [those who only have natural life] are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God [spiritual life] because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart” (Eph. 4:18).

It’s no surprise then that those who only have natural life reject God and His truth. There’s an innate enmity toward Him. That’s defined as spiritual deadness. That’s why Jesus’ sacrificial death—giving His flesh and blood—is vital in order to have spiritual life.

Speaking to believers, Paul wrote: “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind” (Eph. 2:1-3). It is only through Jesus’ flesh and blood that we can have spiritual life.

Blood and Water

January 13, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

John 19:34

 

Many times we consider Jesus’ blood only in relation to our forgiveness. His blood obtained much more than that, though. He inaugurated the New Covenant, which means God also works in us “that which is pleasing in his sight” (Heb. 13:20-21). Additionally, when He died, water flowed from His body. What does that signify?

In Ezekiel we read: “I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you” (Ezek. 36:25). That promise was realized when Jesus cried out, “It is finished.”

In addition to the deliverance from our sins, we also need to be purified from our inward corruptions. It’s one thing to forgive someone’s debt; it’s quite another thing to change his way of life. Through the death of His Son, God not only dealt with the consequences of our sins—guilt and condemnation—but also with the cause of them.

We see this double grace in Titus: “Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works” (Titus 2:14). The water refers to our purification.

The Bible also associates water with the Holy Spirit: “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’ Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (John 7:38-39).

We see a similar association in Isaiah: “Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field . . .” (Isa. 32:15). From being dry and barren, we are watered from on high and become alive and fruitful.

The water that came from Jesus’ body refers to our purification. It’s through the Holy Spirit that God washes and renews us: “The washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:5). Through Jesus’ atoning death, the Father gave us the fullness of the Holy Spirit, purifying and transforming us into the image of His Son.

God’s New Covenant

January 11, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ‘This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.’

Luke 22:20

 

Long before Jesus was born, God promised the New Covenant: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD” (Jer. 31:31-32).

He also outlined its benefits: “I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD” (Jer. 31:33-34).

This includes our forgiveness: “For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” This is good news! The New Covenant is made with sinners—those who’ve rebelled against Him. With His blood, Jesus inaugurated the New Covenant and obtained all its benefits for His people. That’s why this covenant is sometimes referred to as the Covenant of Grace. It contains pure grace, justifying, sanctifying, and glorifying us. Let’s consider two major benefits.

First, it states that God will write His law on our hearts. The Old Covenant had the two tablets of stone, stating the Law. Man failed miserably to keep it. Now, God has promised He will write it on our hearts. He will do such a work within us that we’ll be conformed to His law: “And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts” (2 Cor. 3:3). Only God can do so!

Second, we will have God as our God and, consequently, we’ll be His people. To have Him is the greatest treasure and joy we can have. We’ll know Him, which is the essence of eternal life: “And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:3). By His blood, Jesus obtained all these eternal blessings, reconciling us and making us the eternal beneficiaries of God’s amazing grace.

Old versus New Covenant

January 8, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

For this is my blood of the [new] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Matthew 26:28

 

As we saw last time, God relates to His people by way of a covenant. There are two major ones: The Old Covenant and The New Covenant. We also saw that both covenants were inaugurated by a substitutionary death and the sprinkling of blood on God’s people. Lastly, we saw that the New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant: “In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away” (Heb. 8:13).

In reference to these two covenants, John wrote: “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). The Old Covenant contains the Law of Moses, while the New Covenant contains the grace of Jesus Christ.

The Old Covenant shows us our sins and condemnation: “Through the law comes knowledge of sin,” and, “the law brings wrath” (Rom. 3:20; 4:15). While the Law was specifically given to Israel, it also shows the condemnation of the whole world. Israel was like a test case: “Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law [Israel], so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God” (Rom. 3:19).

The New Covenant, on the other hand, shows us God’s grace and truth through Jesus Christ. It’s interesting to note that truth is related to the New Covenant in contrast to the Old Covenant. It basically means that the truest revelation of God isn’t through the Old Covenant, even though the Old Covenant does reveal God, but that it comes to us through the New Covenant.

Ultimately, it’s not through the Law of Moses, but through Jesus Christ that He reveals Himself. The Old Covenant, so to speak, was a means to an end. It reveals our sins and condemnation in order for God to save us by His grace and truth, accomplished by His Son.

The New Covenant contains our forgiveness. No matter how sinful or guilty, there’s full and free forgiveness through Jesus Christ. That’s the beauty of God’s grace and the rock-solid reality of His truth.

Inauguration

January 7, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

How does God make a covenant with His people? It’s through blood.

And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, “Behold the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

Exodus 24:8

 

At the beginning of this book, we’re purposely looking first at a few Old Testament verses. We want to lay the foundation and understand the significance of the blood, especially as a substitutionary atonement. Today, we’ll also see that the blood stands in relation to God making a covenant with His people.

The Old Testament sacrifices were part of the Old Covenant, which was inaugurated by blood: “Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, ‘This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you’” (Heb. 9:18-20).

Hebrews highlights a correlation between the inauguration of the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. Both were inaugurated by death and the application of blood. In today’s verse we see that “Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, ‘Behold the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.’”

In the New Testament we see the same realities, foreshadowed in the Old Testament: “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel” (Heb. 12:22-24).

The inauguration of the Old Covenant foreshadowed the inauguration of the New Covenant—Jesus’ death on the cross and the shedding of His blood. Furthermore, the Old Covenant was meant to highlight and drive us the New Covenant. The Law (the Old Covenant) shows us our sins, deserving God’s wrath. The gospel (the New Covenant) shows us God’s forgiveness and His infinite favor. Jesus obtained that when He inaugurated God’s New Covenant with His blood.

Therefore, “in speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete” (Heb. 8:13). Next time we’ll start looking at numerous New Testament verses of what Jesus inaugurated and obtained with His blood.

The Blood and the Anointing Oil

January 6, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

Then you shall take part of the blood that is on the altar, and of the anointing oil . . .

Exodus 29:21

 

There is always a danger to read into the Bible what is not there, instead of taking out of the Bible what is there. We are to be faithful to God’s word, which includes keeping the context in mind. In today’s verse, I may be in danger of reading too much into it.

However, I believe there’s a concept that points to a reality that’s clearly seen throughout the Scriptures. Furthermore, since the Old Testament has many shadows of New Testament realities, I believe this is one of them.

We’ve seen that nothing leavened should be mixed with “the blood of my sacrifice.” We are not to add anything, lest we desecrate it. Here, however, we do see an addition: “The Anointing oil.” Throughout the Bible, that’s a type of the Holy Spirit.

Within the Godhead, there’s perfect harmony. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were all perfectly united in offering Jesus as a sacrifice for sinners. Throughout His life, Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit: “For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure” (John 3:34). There was an infinite fullness of the Holy Spirit in His life and ministry.

When Jesus was about to pour out His life for us, He did so “through the eternal Spirit.” We read this in Hebrews: “How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God” (Heb. 9:14).

In light of this, we can say that Jesus poured out His blood and the Holy Spirit for us. He gave his entire life, which included the Holy Spirit “without measure.” For not only are we in need of forgiveness, we are also in need of “the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he [the Father] poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior” (Titus 3:5-6).

While in the context of today’s verse we read that the blood and the anointing oil was in relation to Aaron and his sons—the priests—we know there’s a corresponding reality to Christians: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession” (1 Pet. 2:9). How were Aaron and his sons set apart as holy? It was through the blood and the anointing oil. The same is true for us.

The Day of Atonement

January 5, 2018 by Jan Blonk Leave a Comment

Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year. With the blood of the sin offering of atonement he shall make atonement for it once in the year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD.

Exodus 30:10

 

The Old Testament sacrificial system was “a shadow of the good things to come . . .” (Heb. 10:1). Part of this system was the Day of Atonement: “Now on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you a time of holy convocation, and you shall afflict yourselves and present a food offering to the LORD. And you shall not do any work on that very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God” (Lev. 23:27-28).

Moses then stated the gravity of it: “For whoever is not afflicted on that very day shall be cut off from his people. And whoever does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among his people” (Lev. 23:29-30). Why this weightiness? Doesn’t it seem too harsh? Is this a loving God?

The fact that we may question these severe consequences shows that we don’t understand the offense of sin, nor what has to be accomplished for our forgiveness. Sin is deadly. It slays everyone; it’s no respecter of persons. The only way to be saved is by a substitutionary death and the shedding of blood: “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” (Heb. 9:22). The price for sin—death—has to be paid, either by the sinner or by a substitute.

When we consider the solemnity of the Day of Atonement, foreshadowing Jesus Christ and Him crucified, we begin to understand its seriousness and significance, especially in relation to afflicting oneself and doing no work at all. Let’s consider both.

To afflict oneself means to humble oneself. All these sacrifices point out our sins and their devastating consequences. We deserve to die and be eternally separated from our Creator. He, however, provided atonement. That certainly gives reason to humble ourselves, realizing that our sins are the cause of someone else’s sufferings.

What about no work? Jesus’ sacrifice is all-sufficient: “For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified” (Heb. 10:14). Nothing should be added to His finished work on our behalf. Any addition will strike at the heart of God’s prefect sacrifice. The fact that we don’t have to add any works is the beauty and glory of the gospel.
