I love to watch TV shows where the police study the crime scene. Sometimes these crimes are years old, but using special techniques in forensics they can solve the crime with old evidence.
In one show I watched, investigators sprayed a special formula on a wooden floor to reveal old blood. Even though the murder had taken place years ago and the blood had been cleaned up off the floor, this formula made it show up.
The blood of Jesus is over 2000 years old, but it still exists. When Jesus shed His life’s blood on Calvary, the blood ran down His body and into the earth. His blood was perfect blood, the blood of His Father God, inherited, as every baby’s blood is, from his father. Jesus got His body from the womb of Mary, but His Spirit and blood came from God.
In Luke 24:39 KJV Jesus told the disciples after His resurrection, “Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.” Normally you or I would say, flesh and blood, but you see, Jesus didn’t have any blood anymore. The physical portion of His blood went into the ground, but the LIFE of His blood, the supernatural, spiritual part of His blood, He took into the heavenly temple of God, into the Holy of Holies and placed it on the Mercy Seat of God, where it remains today, alive and still able to wipe away all the sins of the world.
Lev 17:11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”
The evil of this world cannot wash away the blood of Jesus, cannot overcome it, cannot hide it. It still remains. It has never lost its power to wash away sin.
I’m so thankful Jesus shed His blood.
