Why the blood of Jesus upon us and our children may not be so bad after all.

And all the people answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” (Matthew 27:25)

When Jesus was arrested and taken before Pontius Pilate, the people chose to release a hardened criminal than an innocent man.

Pilate was against the crucifixion of Jesus so he washed his hands in front of the people as a demonstration of his innocence of the blood of Jesus.

But, the people cried out that they wanted Jesus to be crucified and they wanted His blood to be upon them and their children.

The law of the Israelites stated that if anyone kills another person they would be put to death (Leviticus 24:17).

Therefore, the Jews were proclaiming a curse upon themselves and children when they agreed to crucify Jesus – an innocent person.

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)

However, was it really a curse or was it a blessing?

The death of Jesus was ordained by God to redeem us from sin (Isaiah 53;1 John 1; 5).

The blood of Jesus allows us to boldly enter the holiest place in the presence of God (Hebrews 10:19-22).

The blood of Jesus makes us partakers of the covenant of Abraham and we are no longer separated as Jews and Gentiles but are all a part of the family of God (Ephesians 2).

Through the blood of Jesus, we can come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels without fear and trembling (Hebrews 12:18-24).

The blood of Jesus cleanses, purifies, saves, redeems, heals, delivers and restores.

I want the blood of Jesus to cover me and my children!

The blood of Jesus upon us and our children may not be a bad deal after all.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.

You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
