Now 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 the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. Exodus 12:13
The moment you kill a lamb, its blood immediately flows to the ground. The Israelites retained the blood in a basin. But as long as the blood was in the basin, it did not save anyone. Using a bunch of hyssop, the blood had to be applied to each home, upon the lintel and both side-posts of the door. Only then did it protect the Israelite family that lived inside the house.
Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb, was already sacrificed for us (1 Cor. 5:7). His blood has been shed on the cross. But just that fact alone protects no one and gives no benefit to the individual. As long as it remains in the “basin” of theology, it does not do us any good. Only when the blood is applied correctly to the place of need then would it become effective and do its work.
Under the old covenant, Israel’s means of transferring the blood to the place of need was the bunch of hyssop. In the new covenant, we do that through the word of our testimony (Rev. 12:11). With our mouth, we need to verbalize what God’s Word says about what the blood of Jesus does, or we’ll have no benefi ts from the blood. All our believing does not do anything unless we confess it out—verbally. Satan will fight you and do his utmost to frighten you, make you feel shy, and prevent you from coming up with a clear, bold, scriptural testimony. Because he knows that the moment you do that, he cannot touch you anymore.
What does God’s Word say about Jesus’ blood?
(1) Eph. 1:7 says that through the blood, I am redeemed from all my sins.
(2) 1 John 1:7, 9 says that through the blood, I have cleansing and forgiveness from all sin.
(3) Rom. 5:9 says that through the blood, I am justified or “declared” righteous.
(4) Heb. 13:12 says that through the blood, I am sanctified or “made holy,” set apart for God.
(5) 1 Cor. 6:19-20 says that through the blood, I am now the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the devil has no place within me and no power over me. Confess verbally all these Bible promises daily.
