The Blood of Jesus
By David Wilkerson0EXO 12:22LUK 22:20ROM 5:9EPH 1:7COL 1:20HEB 9:22HEB 10:191PE 1:181JN 1:7REV 12:11David Wilkerson emphasizes the significance of not just knowing about the blood of Jesus that was shed, but understanding its power when it is sprinkled. He draws a parallel between the Israelites' use of lamb's blood during Passover and the blood of Christ, explaining that the blood must be applied to be effective. Just as the Israelites had to sprinkle the blood on their doorposts for protection from the death angel, believers must recognize that Jesus' blood, when applied to their lives, offers not only forgiveness but also protection from evil. Wilkerson urges Christians to move beyond mere acknowledgment of the blood to actively applying it in their lives for spiritual safety.
