Key Verse

… and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.” Revelation 7:14b

Text — Revelation 7:9-15

Message

The central theme of the Passover project was the blood that was shed and put as mark on the houses of the Israelites. You may have heard how one person’s blood can help save the life of another person by taking blood from one and letting it run through a thin pipe into the body of the other. But the blood of an animal is not the same as that of a person and the Israelites sprinkled the blood on the outside of the door! How could that keep someone inside the house from dying?

The Israelites believed God and they were obedient. They did not understand or question why they had to put blood around their doors. By faith they simply obeyed and were saved! Looking back, we can see that this is a perfect picture of Jesus, the Lamb of God (John 1:29). He came to the earth to die in our place and let His blood flow for us. When, by faith, you ask Jesus to cleanse your heart from every sin, you will be saved! (1John 1:9).

The blood of Jesus in the blood of the everlasting covenant. It is powerful and more superior than the blood of animals. Jesus shed His blood once and for all. As you accept Jesus’ sacrifice, repent and turn away from your sins. His blood will wash you clean, protect, and preserve you from every harm.
