Ps. Ivan Tanudjaja - Mengaplikasikan Darah Yesus Untuk Perlindungan

Summary

Pastor Ivan Tanudjaja teaches that Jesus’ blood has two central roles for believers: forgiveness of sins and protection. The sermon traces the idea of sacrificial blood through biblical stories and explains how, in the preacher’s view, Christians can apply Jesus’ blood in daily life.

Main ideas

• People cannot approach God by relying on their own good deeds. The sermon contrasts Adam and Eve’s attempt to cover their nakedness with leaves with God’s provision of garments made from animal skins. The preacher interprets the animal sacrifice as an early picture of the principle that sin requires an innocent life.
• Jesus’ sacrifice is God’s provision for reconciliation. The sermon links Cain’s offering of produce with reliance on human effort, while Abel’s blood sacrifice is presented as an acknowledgment of the need for blood. The preacher says people are made right with God by grace through Jesus, not by their own efforts.
• Jesus’ blood brings forgiveness once for all. Unlike the repeated animal sacrifices of the Old Testament, Jesus’ sacrifice is described as sufficient and final. Believers therefore do not need further sacrifices for sin.
• Forgiveness gives believers confidence to approach God. Because of Jesus’ blood, believers can come to God even when they have failed. They should not stay away out of shame or try to earn acceptance through good behavior. God’s throne is described as a throne of grace, where people can receive help.
• Jesus’ blood “speaks better” than Abel’s blood. Abel’s blood is presented as crying out for justice and punishment after his murder. Jesus’ blood, by contrast, is said to speak of forgiveness, mercy, peace, wholeness, and health.
• The Passover story is presented as a picture of protection. In Exodus, the Israelites marked their doorposts with lamb’s blood, which the sermon describes as a sign for God to see. The preacher connects this to Jesus as the ultimate Passover Lamb and teaches that believers should apply Jesus’ blood as protection.
• This protection is presented as relevant in a dangerous world. Referring to the devil’s “great wrath,” the sermon says believers overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. The preacher applies this protection to threats such as evil, illness, accidents, and death.

Practical instruction: applying the blood of Jesus

The preacher recommends speaking or praying daily for protection through Jesus’ blood, rather than physically applying it.

• Pray for God to protect yourself and your household.
• Pray for protection over children, including when they are at school, traveling, or living abroad.
• Pray for protection over work, career, and daily responsibilities.
• Pray over vehicles and journeys, including travel by car, public transportation, train, or plane.
• Continue speaking Psalm 91 as a daily practice.

The sermon concludes with a prayer thanking God for forgiveness through Jesus’ blood and asking for protection for the congregation, their families, homes, work, vehicles, and travels.
