The Blood was Still There
A few years ago, I saw a CSI
show on TV before they were popular. A true story was presented in documentary
style on PBS about a woman who had disappeared.
As the police investigated, they
noted some oddities, but the most glaring was the discovery of a large amount
of blood in the carpet. Otherwise, the
place was spotless, nothing out of place. They turned the lights off and
sprayed luminol on the walls and discovered splatters of blood. The blood had been washed off, yet the blood
was still there and was revealed by the luminol. The husband confessed of the murder at that
point.
The Old Testament records an
event in Israelite history commonly referred to as the Passover. The Jews were to sacrifice a lamb and place
some blood on the outside surface of sides and top of the door opening. When the death angel came through that night
and saw the blood, it would pass over those households.
This event was a preview of
Christ's blood shed on the cross. His
blood protects us from death - if we have trusted in Him. Christ endured the cruel death of the
sacrificial Lamb of God for you and me.
When I trusted in Jesus as my Savior, I was covered by the blood of the
Lamb! And the blood is still there - I
am still covered.
"And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where
ye are: and when I see the
blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt
"For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many
for the remission of sins." Matthew 26:28
