Pleading the Blood of Jesus Christ

Pleading the Blood of Jesus Christ

Pleading the blood started thousands of years ago with God’s people.

But it has more to do with us today than you might think.

First, let’s rewind to the past. A powerful Bible story describes much blood being spilt.

In Exodus 12, the Israelites put blood from a lamb without blemish on two doorposts and the panel above the door of each house.

The Lord’s Passover.

The lamb’s blood provided protection from the final plague. God brought plagues on Pharaoh and the land of Egypt for refusing to release His people from slavery. This particular plague meant every firstborn male, people and animals, would die.

“The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt.” Exodus 12:13 (ESV)

After that fatal night, Pharaoh let the people go. And the Lord instructed His people to celebrate the Passover every year.

Blood of the Perfect Lamb of God

Years later, a perfect Lamb without spot or blemish once again provided passover blood. Jesus, God’s Son, willingly gave His life and blood for spiritual death to passover God’s children. Physical death may strike, but spiritual death cannot touch those in Christ.
