1 Peter 1:19

1 Peter 1:19 ‘but with precious blood, as of. lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ'.

‘but with precious blood' -‘Precious'-‘of great worth or value' (Arndt p. 818)

‘as of. lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ' -1. Jesus is often spoken of as. lamb (John 1:29; Acts 8:32). 2. The sacrificial animals in the Old Testament had to be without defect or flaw (Leviticus 22:18; Leviticus 4:32; Numbers 2:3; Numbers 2:11). 3. The statement infers that Jesus lived. sinless life (1 Peter 2:22). This is quite. statement from Peter, who had constant contact with Jesus over the space of three years. Who saw Him confronted with all sorts of difficult situations, many of which were very intense. Even though Peter had been personally rebuked by Jesus, and following Jesus had cost Peter many of the comforts of this life, still, Peter did not have. diminished view of Jesus. 4. Nothing can atone for sin, except the blood of Jesus. Therefore, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross was the only method by which we could be saved. 5. The lesson is clear: The blood of Christ is vastly more priceless than silver and gold. But how many professed believers have traded the benefits of Christ's blood (salvation), for. few extra hours at. job, or hobby, or recreational pursuit?
