Revelation 1:5-6
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Jesus Christ is the Prince of the Kings of the earth. Because of His great love for us, He sacrificed His own blood for our sins. He suffered for sins so that we might not suffer if we would repent and obey Him. If we don’t repent, then we must suffer ourselves. Blood means life. The children of Israel made blood sacrifices in similitude of the blood that Jesus would sacrifice, His own blood. Jesus made the choice. He chose to shed His blood for our wrongdoings, our misdeeds, our misbehaviors, our violation of God’s laws and statutes.
Jesus was the first fruits of the dead to be resurrected. He had power to resurrect himself and obtain a resurrected body of flesh, bone, spirit, but no blood. He Jesus opened the way for us to become Kings and Priests in the hereafter unto God the Father; therefore, we must be humble and glorify Him forever and forever.
