Hebrews 12:24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. |

Today, forensic science tells us that blood has a voice. DNA can be
extracted from just one small drop of the murderer’s blood and the
results used in court as evidence.
So blood in a sense can speak. And when it is the blood of Jesus, it
“speaks better things” than that of Abel. Abel’s blood cried out,
“Vengeance! Vengeance!” after his brother Cain murdered him. (Genesis
4:8–11) But Jesus’ blood cries out forgiveness for our sins, healing for
our bodies, and peace and soundness for our minds. It cries out
protection for our coming-ins and going-outs, good success for the works
of our hands, the righteousness of Christ as our acceptance before God
and much more!
In the Bible, Jesus’ blood speaking of “better things” is found in the
context of the last days when things are being shaken, so that the
things which cannot be shaken will remain. (Hebrews 12:27) God wants you
to know that you will not be shaken when you put your faith in Jesus’
blood, which speaks better things for you. That is why God wants you to
see Jesus’ blood shed for you in every area that causes your heart to
tremble and your confidence to be shaken.
For example, if you are afraid of losing your job, speak the blood of
Jesus over your job. His blood cries out, “Favor with his boss!” And in
these days when you are shaken by fears that terrorism may strike
anyone, anywhere, anytime, plead the blood of Jesus which cries out,
“Protection and deliverance!” When fear rises in your heart as the
doctor gives you his prognosis, plead the blood of Jesus over your body.
His blood cries out, “Healing and wholeness!”
The eternal blood of Jesus, which speaks better things, will never lose
its power. Beloved, see that you do not refuse Him who speaks. (Hebrews
12:25) See that you keep hearing the voice of grace, which speaks
salvation, righteousness, protection, deliverance, provision and healing
over your life!
