The Blood of Jesus is the source of our life
In the shedding of His blood, Jesus the Great High
Priest of the New Covenant fulfilled in exact detail

Seven ways the Blood of Jesus was shed for us
1. In the Garden of Gethsemane He sweated
Drops of blood Luke 22:44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
2.At the trial of the high priest He was beaten
And His blood was shed
3.He shed His blood the third time when they
Plucked out his beard. Isa 50:6 I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting.
4.Beat with a whip 39 stripes Mat 27:26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
5. The Crown of Thorns Mat 27:29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said.
Mat 27:30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
6.Crucified ; nails in hands and feet
7.Side pierced with a spear John 19:34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

Salvation
Healing

1 Pet 1:18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,
1 Pet 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
2.We are Justified by the Blood
Rom 5:9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
Justified---“ just -as -if” we never sinned

Heb 13:12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.
Sanctified means to be made Holy(set apart)

7.The Blood of Jesus gives us eternal life
Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
