We have heard it taught and preached on many times that Jesus Christ is to be preeminent in our lives, but according to the Bible the preeminence of Christ has nothing to do with you.
The saints are told three times to “fret not” (Psalm 37:1,7-8). <em>Fret</em> comes from a root word meaning <em>to eat</em> or <em>to devour</em>. We will find that Jesus Christ is the only solution to the disease of a fretting heart.
We can know much about the characteristics of hypocrites by looking into the life of Abiathar. Are you playing the part of a hypocrite?
The Bible says that God requires a blood sacrifice. Some preachers say that if Jesus had not shed any blood, then His death would not have been a valid sacrifice. The question is why does God require a blood sacrifice--the life of the flesh is in the blood (you can not live without blood), but you can die without bleeding. What is the significance of the blood sacrifice?”
