THE SHEDDINGS OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST AND THEIR MEANINGS

We see various accounts of the blood of Jesus Christ shed at various locations and from various parts of His body in the Bible. These various locations where the blood of Jesus Christ was shed and the various parts of His body from whence the blood was shed have very profound meanings, significance and importance to the body of Christ Jesus our Lord; the Church. Let’s take a look into these hidden mysteries revealed by the Holy Spirit to the Church.

 

1. At the Mount Olives; Gethsemane:

Matthew 26:36-46, Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:39-45

•Where His sweat turn into blood while He was praying. 

 

Meaning/significance/Importance:

-for the healing of our soul 

The soul consists of the emotions, mind, will, intellect. And at the time (Luke 22:44) Jesus was in anguish, troubled and in despair (emotions) in His soul (Mark 14:33-34). 

Hence His sweat was turn into blood that was shed so that our souls may be healed from all forms of depression, anxiety, worry, pain, confusion, doubt, ignorance, etc. 

 

2. At the house of Caiaphas, the High Priest:

Matthew 26:67, Mark 14:65, Luke 22:63, John 18:22

•When they beat his face for allegedly speaking blasphemous and speaking against the High Priest.

Actual Hebrew transcripts show that His face was disfigured by the beating and He was unrecognizable. He lost His image and beauty (Isaiah 53:2).

 

Meaning/significance/Importance:

-the blood shed from His face that day was for the healing of our image. 

That we may look like Him and transformed into His image and likeness. 

 

3. At the Praetorium (the palace) I:

Before Pontus Pilate, the governor.

Matthew 27:26, Mark 15:15

•Where He was flogged with whips that tore His flesh according to actual Hebrew transcripts. 

He obtained stripes and from these stripes He shed blood. 

 

Meaning/significance/Importance:

-that by the blood shed from His stripes, we may be healed from all forms of sickness, illness and “dis-eases”. 

Isaiah 53:5

 

4. At the Praetorium (the palace) II: 

At the palace courts after they left Pilate.

Matthew 27:27-31, Mark 15:17-19, John 19:2-3

•Where a crown of thorns was placed on His head and He was struck and beaten multiple times on His head. He bled from His head by this. 

 

Meaning/significance/Importance:

-for the healing of our minds. That we will have the mind and thoughts of Christ Jesus.

Our minds and thoughts will be transformed into His mind and thoughts and we will think like Him. 

 

The next two parts 5 & 6 happened when Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross; 

Matthew 27:35, Mark 15:24, Luke 23:33, John 19:18

 

Crucifixion was an act of nailing the hands and feet of a person to a cross and leaving the culprits to die, which is why Colossians 2:14 says “…..“having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.”

This is evident in John 20:19-29 and Luke 24:36-49 when Jesus Christ appeared to His disciples after He resurrected. 

 

Now,

5. At Golgotha I:

John 20:20, 25 & 27, Luke 24:40

•When He was nailed to the cross in His hands. He bled from His hands. 

 

Meaning/significance/Importance:

-the blood was shed from His hands so that the works of our hands (ministry work/ the work of God) will be accepted. That our works and acts will be made perfect and accepted unto God. 

That we may not work in vain. 

 

6. At Golgotha II: 

Luke 24:40

•When He was nailed to the cross in His feet. He bled from His feet. 

 

Meaning/significance/Importance:

-the blood was shed from His feet so that our walk with Him will be secured and made perfect. Our Christian walk will be secured and that we may walk with and in Him in perfect Holiness. 

 

7. At Golgotha III: 

John 19:34

•When they pierced/tore His side and blood and water shed out of His side. 

 

Meaning/significance/Importance:

-this happened to signify the birth of the Church (body of Christ)

So that from Him (His body) the Church (His bride) will be born. Just as the “woman” was born out of the side of the “man” in the beginning, so was the Church born from the side of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross when His side was pierced.

 

HALLELUUUUUUUUUUUUU-YAH! 

Glory be to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ for this wonderful and marvelous mystery.
