The Blood

Old Testament Type
The High Priest went into the holiest of all only once a year and that was with the Blood of the Sacrifice on the Day of Atonement. There is no access into the presence of G-d without the shedding of sacrificial blood (Heb. 9:6-14).
The blood of the bullock and of the goat were sprinkled seven times in three places upon the mercy seat, in front of the mercy seat, and upon the horns of the brazen altar (Lev. 16:11-15, 18-19).

Seven Ways Messiah’s Blood Was Shed
1. Luke 22:44, "And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground." In Gethsemane, because He was willing to identify Himself with the sin of the world, His Blood began to flow in the drops of sweat.
2. Matthew 26:63-64, "But Y’Shua held His peace. And the high priest answered and said unto Him, I adjure Thee by the living G-d, that Thou tell us whether Thou be the Messiah, the Son of G-d. Y’Shua saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of Heaven." His own testimony to the high priest convicted Him and so He was sentenced to death. The servants then struck Him with fists and rod (Micah 5:1).
3. Isaiah 50: 5-6, "The L-rd G-d has opened My ear; and I was not disobedient, nor did I turn back. I gave My back to those who strike Me, and My cheeks to those who pluck out the beard, I did not cover My face from humiliation and spitting." The hair of His beard was pulled out.
4. Matthew 27:26, "Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Y’Shua, he delivered Him to be crucified." Messiah gave His back to be scourged--"ploughed with long furrows" (see also Psalm 129:1-3, Isaiah 50:6).
5. Matthew 27:29, "And when they had plaited a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head, and a reed in His right hand: and they bowed the knee before Him, and mocked Him, saying, 'Hail, King of the Jews!'"
Isaiah 52:13-14, "Behold My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up, and greatly exalted. Just as many were astonished at you, My people, so His appearance was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men." These thorns (like long needles) were placed upon His head, then pressed down into His scalp losing the appearance of a human being.
6. Matthew 27:35, "And they crucified Him, and parted His garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They parted My garments among them, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.'" They crucified Him, piercing His hands and feet with nails.
7. John 19:34, "But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out Blood and water." After death, the soldier pierced His side and blood and water flowed out.
Seven Ways Messiah’s Blood Avails for Us
There are many Scriptural benefits concerning what the Blood of Y’Shua has done for us. According to Revelation 12:11, "And they (the believers) overcame him (the accuser of the brethren) because of the Blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even to death." We overcome by testifying what the Blood of Y’Shua has accomplished. His triumph over the powers of darkness is enforced as we agree with and declare the benefits of His precious Blood.
According to Hebrews 12:24, Y’Shua has established a new covenant through His Blood interceding on our behalf to establish His Blood covenant with us. As Leviticus 17:11 says, "For the life of the flesh is in the Blood." In Messiah’s Blood, we receive life that death cannot conquer (Isaiah 53:12; John 6:53-57).
1. Forgiveness. I have been forgiven through the Blood of Y’Shua. Hebrews 9:22, "All things are cleansed with the Blood and without the shedding of Blood there can be no forgiveness."
2. Cleansing. The Blood of Y’Shua has cleansed me from all sin. I John 1:7, "But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Y’Shua His Son cleanses us from all sin." (See also 1 Peter 1:2.)
3. Redemption. I have been redeemed by the Blood of the lamb. Ephesians 1:7, "In Him we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace." (See also Romans 7:14; 1 Peter 1:18-19.)
4. Justification. By the Blood I am justified--just as if I have never sinned. Romans 5:9, "Much more then, having now been justified by His Blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of G-d through Him." (See also 2 Corinthians 5:21.)
5. Sanctification. I have been sanctified through Y’Shua' Blood for a holy calling and out of Satan’s territory by the Blood of Y’Shua. Hebrews 13:12, "Y’Shua also, that He might sanctify the people through His own Blood, suffered outside the gate."
6. Peace. Peace has been made for me through the Blood of the Cross. Colossians 1:20, "And having made peace through the Blood of His Cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven."
7. Access. I now have confidence to enter the most Holy Place by the Blood of Y’Shua. Hebrews 10:19, "Since therefore, brother, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the Blood of Y’Shua." (See also Ephesians 2:13-14.)
