Precious Blood of Jesus, Part IX
Lord, we have sinned against You, have mercy on us.
Matthew 27:4 (NJB): I have sinned. I have betrayed innocent blood.’ They replied, ‘What is that to us? That is your concern.’ Judas understood he had sinned against the innocent victim, who was Jesus. However, he was too late to recognize this. He did not return to our Lord to repent for his misdeeds. But he hanged himself to end his life without consulting our Lord. We can see that evil is speaking to Judas through the high priests and other prominent Jewish leaders; all topics about Jesus' agony and death are of no importance to them. Everything Jews have done is in accordance with Evil's design. It is to kill Jesus and disrupt God's purpose of salvation for the Jews and the entire world. Jews claim that nothing is their concern.
But why are we concerned about Jesus crucified? He shed his own blood to grant us salvation. The artwork on this page depicts how many people became saints following Jesus' death and resurrection. They are gorgeous flowers from His garden, spreading fragrance across the globe long after they die. God has honored them from the beginning to make them servants of His Garden.
Lord, forgive our sins and grant us salvation.
