Your normal blood supplies life-giving oxygen and supplements to each cell in your body. If flow of blood were to be cut off from a region of your body, that part would start to die . Profoundly, any part of your life that is cut off from the blood of Jesus is dead or dying.

Your blood additionally carriers waste and toxic from your cells. Also, without the blood of Jesus, your life would be loaded with filth simply like the Pharisees in Matthew 23:27. Give thanks to God for the blood of Jesus that expels the dirt of transgression from our day by day lives!

God additionally furnished your body with white blood cells that fight off infection. Any time bacteria or viruses try to get in, your white cells start destroying the invaders when your natural blood is healthy, you are free from diseases; and when you are spiritually healthy, there is nothing the devil can bring against you that the blood of Jesus isn't adequate to overcome. There genuinely is life in the blood!

At the Last supper , when Jesus held up the measure of wine, He stated, "… This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you" (Luke 22:20). The blood of Jesus is significant to the point that this text is used each time we take communion. most Christians know just about the blood being shed and not about it applied

In Exodus 12:22, the Israelites were ordered to kill a lamb and dip a branch of hyssop (a common herb) into its blood. They were then to sprinkle the blood on the lintel and side-posts of their front doors . That night, as the angel of death came, he ignored each entryway where he saw the blood on the doorposts. Everybody whose doorposts had no blood lost their firstborn; those with the blood were saved.

If an Israelite had left the blood in the bowl as opposed to applying it, the death holy messenger would have struck their home. Murdering the sheep would have done them no great. The shedding of blood was insufficient – The shedding of blood was not enough – the blood only had saved them when it was taken out of the basin and applied!
