Passover and the Blood of Jesus Christ

Sermonette by

The blood of Jesus Christ holds multiple facets, each complementing the other in its profound significance. One vital aspect is its role in sealing a covenant, representing a life given as a pledge of faithfulness. As seen in Exodus 24:5-8, God's covenant with Israel was sealed with blood from burnt offerings and peace offerings, symbolizing wholehearted dedication and peaceful fellowship with Him. Moses sprinkled the blood on the people, signifying their commitment to obey the covenant's terms, as the blood of the oxen represented their own lifeblood. In Matthew 26:27-28, Jesus speaks of His blood as the blood of the New Covenant, shed for many for the remission of sins. This covenant, established even before Christ became the sin offering, encompasses more than forgiveness; it includes God's promise to inscribe His law on our hearts, to be our God, and to grant us intimate knowledge of Him. The blood of the New Covenant, unlike the external application of animal blood in the old covenant, is ingested, transforming us internally due to its divine quality. Hebrews 13:20-21 further reveals that through the blood of the everlasting covenant, God will make us complete in every good work to do His will, culminating in our final redemption at Christ's return. This blood serves as a divine guarantee of God's unswerving commitment to bring us to the fullness of Christ's stature. When we partake of the Passover cup, we acknowledge this unstoppable pledge and reaffirm our devotion to Him. Moreover, the blood of Christ is the only blood God allows us to consume, and indeed, we must consume it as a guarantee of eternal life. In John 6:53-56, Jesus declares that unless we drink His blood, we have no life in us, but whoever does so has eternal life and will be raised up at the last day. His blood, representing a sinless and perfect life, remains life even after His death, embodying an eternal quality that transforms us internally when we partake of it, fostering a oneness with God that defines true abundance.
