Precious Blood of Jesus, Day 22




Jesus poured out the Blood and Water from his heart, his love, mercy and grace 

John 19:34–37 (NJB): one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water. 35 This is the evidence of one who saw it—true evidence, and he knows that what he says is true—and he gives it so that you may believe as well. 36 Because all this happened to fulfil the words of scripture: Not one bone of his will be broken; 37 and again, in another place scripture says: They will look to the one whom they have pierced.  

After the crucifixion the Jews asked Pilate to break the legs of Jesus and remove his body from the Cross. This was their custom, the bodies could not hang on the cross on the Sabbath. When they came to Jesus they found Jesus was dead. They found him dead so they did not broke his leg. One of the soldier pierced his side with a lance and the blood and water has came out from his side. The mercy and graces has poured from the heart of Jesus to cleanse and purify us and entire humanity of past, present and future till eternity. Jesus can still keep his life in his body, even he is dead, 1 John 1:7 (NJB): But if we live in light, as he is in light, we have a share in another’s life, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.  Br says: “the life is always existing in the blood, so in the Blood of Jesus has life.” St John here says he is the witness of this event and the prophecy of Zachariah has fulfilled here, “They will mourn for the one whom they pierced as though for an only child and weep for him as people weep for a first born child”Zechariah 12:10
