If you do this, then please remember
the story in Mathew 27:24-25. When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing
nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his
hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “You shall
bear the responsibility.” All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on
our children!”
Indeed, the very first users of
the phrase similar to what you are now using are the wicked ones who would have
The Promised One crucified at all cost even if it meant deliberately laying a
curse on themselves and their children. Some have linked this blood curse to the
destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. While in the process of committing the atrocious
crucifixion, the writer of Luke tells us that they were warned: “But Jesus
turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep
for yourselves and for your children.” (Luke 23:28)
Now, let us ask ourselves: What
really is the true significance of the blood of the Promised One? He said to
His disciples that he who absorbs His Word absorbs Him and eats of His body and
drinks of His blood! The Promised One is the Word of God which had become
flesh! So if we accept His Word of salvation and act accordingly then we have
absorbed His flesh and blood and that is what cleanses and saves us! Thus it is
written in John 15:3 -- “You are already clean because of the word I have
spoken to you.” And when in Revelations 7:14 we read of those who have washed
their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, this refers to those
who have availed themselves of the Word of the Promised One by living according
to the Word for which the Promised One died after being labelled a blasphemer!
And please note that they did the washing away of their sins by themselves as
the Promised One did not take their guilt upon Himself!
Now that you know the origins of
the words you use gleefully today, do you still want to continue in the habit?
May we decide firmly to live strictly
according to the Word of Truth and salvation brought to us by the Promised One
and stop the horrible habit of crucifying Him all over again daily and hourly through
our ugly practices and erroneous statements.
