The Blood of Sprinkling
By Horatius Bonar0ISA 1:18JHN 1:29ROM 3:25ROM 5:9EPH 1:7COL 1:14HEB 9:22HEB 10:41PE 1:18REV 1:5Horatius Bonar emphasizes the significance of the blood of Christ in achieving peace and cleansing for sinners. He explains that the blood symbolizes substitution and the payment of sin's penalty, which was foreshadowed in the Old Testament sacrifices. Bonar highlights that while these sacrifices served as reminders of sin, they could not remove it; only the blood of Christ, shed once for all, can truly cleanse and justify believers. He warns against the modern tendency to reject the necessity of Christ's sacrifice, urging listeners to understand the true meaning of the blood and its role in their salvation. Ultimately, Bonar reassures that through faith in Christ's blood, believers can find rest and peace in their relationship with God.
