Precious Blood of Jesus, Part XXI
Lord Jesus, we humbly implore you to protect us by your Precious Blood,
Matthew 27:24–26 (NJB): So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. It is your concern.’ 25 And the people, every one of them, shouted back, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’ 26 Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.
When Pilate was about to pronounce his decision on Jesus, he considered not condemning him to death. Pilate told the Jews that he was innocent of Jesus' blood. But the Jews were not ready to free Jesus; instead, they wanted to kill and crucify him. They all yelled and exclaimed, "Let the Blood of Jesus be on us and our children." The Jews were unwilling to release Jesus, the innocent, but Jesus was regarded as a convict. The Jews were prepared to accept God's judgment on their children for Jesus' killing. Jews never made any compromises on Jesus' crucifixion. The Jews were responsible for Jesus' execution, and he spilled his Precious Blood on all humanity to rescue us unconditionally,.
Lord Jesus, we humbly ask you to defend us with your Precious Blood and deliver us from all the hatred and wickedness of this world.
