The Sin That Nailed Him There This is sin, to reject Jesus, to declare He is nothing but a delusional or deceitful man. And this was the condition of our heart, when filled with unbelief, we rejected God, His Son, and His sacrifice. We have screamed, “Crucify Him!” with our unfaithfulness and disobedience. We have said with the crowd, “He is not our King!” “He is not our Messiah!” “Let His blood be on us!” But God, being rich in mercy and being patient with us..., “has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of this crucified Christ” (2 Cor 4:6). And being alive by faith in Him, we cling to the cross on which our Savior died. It is by His precious blood that we are forgiven and freed from sin and its consequences. Same Cross, New Cry So, now, we say with an entirely different meaning, let His blood be on us, not defiantly as the crowds that crucified Him, but desperately — with gratitude and hope and adoration — as those who depend wholly on His sacrifice. Jesus, let your blood be on us. Let it cover us. Let the blood that flows from Your head, Your hands, Your feet wash over us and cleanse us from all of our iniquity. -J Taylor ~Praying especially for unsaved loved ones that His blood may be on them...cover them...wash over them!
