What happens when we come under the blood of Christ that was shed on the cross?
The blood of Christ shed on the cross provides a complete covering. Coming under it, a person is passed over from any judgment, just as Israel was secure when the Passover blood was applied to the door. There is nothing to fear because the blood covers them.
Les explains that Paul carries the Passover picture all the way into the church age. Christ is our Passover, and when He died on the Roman cross, His blood was shed. That crucial point—the blood—is often left out today. In Egypt, the Israelites who had the blood on the doorposts and lintel did not stand quivering in fear; they were secure, knowing the blood was on the door and they were covered. So when we come under Christ’s shed blood, we are passed over from any judgment.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
