The Blood that Speaks Better (Heb. 12:24)

The blood of Christ is sprinkled on the throne of God, and that blood establishes God’s throne in both justice and mercy (Heb. 4:16; 12:24; Rev. 5:6; Ps. 85:10; 89:14; Prov. 20:28). The blood of Christ is sprinkled on our conscience by the Spirit of God, and the sprinkling of Christ’s blood there gives us peace and joy in our heart (Heb. 9:13-14; 1 Pet. 1:2; Rom. 15:13). Scripture says that the blood cries to God, and God hears the blood. Abel's blood cried to God from the ground for justice to be satisfied with vengeance upon his murderer (Gen. 4:10). But Christ’s blood cries from heaven to God in heaven, crying that God's name has been glorified, His justice has been satisfied, and His throne has been established in both justice and grace by Christ's own blood, even for those who, by wicked hands murdered Him (Luke 23:34; Acts 2:23). He who suffered for the sins of God's elect now speaks peace to them from heaven by His blood (Col. 2:20; Rom. 5:6-10; 2 Cor. 5:18-21). God hears the blood. It is by what God hears and thinks of the blood that we, the ungodly, are justified (Rom. 3:24-25; 4:4-5; 5:9; Ex. 12:132 Cor. 5:21). When God calls us to life from the dead by His Spirit of grace, through the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, He enables us to hear the blood (Rev. 1:5). Do you, by God’s testimony of Christ in the Gospel, hear what God hears from the blood of Christ (Heb. 12:24)? Has God spoken peace to your heart by His blood (Rom. 4:20-25; 5:1)? Do you believe God, believing what He testified of His Son, that Christ is all the hope and salvation of every serpent-bitten sinner who looks to Christ (1 John 5:9-13; 2 Sam. 23:5; Luke 2:30; Isa. 12:1-3; 45:22; Num. 21:6-9; John 3:14-15)? May God give faith to you and me that we might see the Lamb of God, and so come to God by Him who shed His precious blood, and in coming, worship God by Him (Heb. 10:19; John 4:22-24). “...unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood...be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (Rev. 1:5b-6)!
