"The life of flesh is in the blood" Leviticus 17:11. Not only is there life in the blood, but innocent blood, when shed has a particular attribute: It cries out. The blood of abel spilled on the ground could be heard by the Lord. He came running to find out what was going on. Perphaps Abel's blood was releasing a screech: "Vengeance ! I want vengeance!". Before the presence of our judge in heaven, there is blood that speak louder than the blood of Abel. What does this blood declare? The blood of jesus reminds the Father continuously of the sacrifice of His sinless Son. The Blood of Jesus ever cries out, "Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!"
Scripture recounts many benefits concerning what the blood of Jesus has done for us. According toRevelation 12:11 "And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death".
The scripture also declares We have been forgiven according to Hebrews 9:22-28 "Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him".
We have been cleansed from all sin according 1 John1:7 " the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin". We have have been redeemed, Ephesians 1:7 declares "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace". We have been justified Romans 5:9 declares "therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God". Also we have been set apart (sanctified) for a holy calling according to Hebrews 13:12 "So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood".
The scriptures also declares that we have found peace according Colossians 1:20 "through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross". We have confidence to enter the holy place according to Hebrews 10:19 "Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus".
Do you know the safest place to be? Close to the blood. We overcome by testifying to what the blood of Jesus haas accomplished. Yes, stick close to and testify to what the blood of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) has accomplished.
"hallelujah! hallelujah!hallelujah!
