Read DCLM Daily Manna – 4th November 2025, Tuesday Devotional Message.
TOPIC: Supremacy of Christ’s Sacrifice
KEY VERSE:
“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” – (Hebrews 9:14).
SCRIPTURE READING: Hebrews 9:11-23 (NKJV)
11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things [a]to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, [b]sanctifies for the [c]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without [d]spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every [e]precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are [f]purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no [g]remission.
23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be [h]purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
DCLM Daily Manna – 4th November 2025 MESSAGE
David Kim (1935-2022) lived in South Korea. He was a former atheist, but he encountered the story of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross through a series of events that challenged his atheistic beliefs. As he searched deeper to fully understand the unfathomable dimensions of Christ’s sacrificial at Calvary, David realised the profound depth and impact of Christ’s sacrificial love as the ultimate expression of God’s grace and mercy. This revelation transformed his life and inspired him to become a missionary, sharing the message of Christ’s sacrificial love with others in his community.
Over the years, there had been similar stories of the impact of the knowledge of Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary on men and women, young and old, who now sincerely believed in Him as the only Saviour of the world. We learn from this Scripture as it unveils a deep and sober reflection on the significance of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, compared to the Old Testament sacrificial system. It introduces Christ as the High Priest who has come to bring about the “good things to come.” It emphasises the superiority of Jesus’ sacrifice compared to the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament. The supreme price that our Lord Jesus paid with His precious blood for our salvation is presented as permanent, providing “eternal redemption” and benchmarking a new covenant with God.
More importantly, Christ’s sacrifice offers eternal redemption and purification of our conscience, liberating us from guilt and condemnation. We are thus transformed and empowered with grace to serve the living God. Therefore, nobody has any excuse to remain in the Old Testament’s ritual practices and moral weakness.
We can step out in faith today and embrace this new and living way. This new life provides eternal life that continually gives us joy, total and complete redemption, and freedom from every form of impurity so that we can serve the true and living God.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Christ’s supreme sacrifice is sufficient for us.
