Episode Details

Blood appears to have a voice, echoing from ancient times when Abel's blood cried out from the ground. Cain clearly underestimated the power of blood to appeal for justice when he killed his righteous brother. Blood is vital in keeping the body functioning properly and maintaining good health. Scripture emphasizes its role in atonement. Blood is never spilled in vain; it speaks a powerful language – the language of deliverance and salvation. In the prophecy of Jacob, the Messiah is intimately associated with blood. The Exodus narrative underscores its significance in safeguarding households. While human bloodlines are tainted by sin, Jesus offers a new and non-Adamic bloodline, through his flesh and blood that originated from the word of God. The blood of Jesus speaks powerfully. It says that Jesus is God(Acts 20:28). The blood of Jesus speaks better things than that of Abel, because it took away the sins of the whole world. Through the blood of Jesus, sins are absolved, and debts to death paid. Heaven reverberates with praise for the blood's power to cleanse and redeem. Just as blood circulates within us, Jesus' blood continually offers purification to sinners and saints. Its call remains: "...the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (I John 1:7).
