Healed By Spilt Blood

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke [it], and gave [it] to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Matthew 26:26-28

The Father promised that He would provide spiritual healing through the Rock of salvation. This Rock would be the Chief Cornerstone that fits all of His people together in Him, but would be rejected. The wisdom of God accounts for our foolishness so that He uses denial as the means to save from foolishness. Jesus explained how this promise would be fulfilled. Jesus gave up His body unto death, accepting the denial and rejection, of His people. Yet, it was His blood that would bring salvation through forgiveness, transforming bitter hearts into hearts that produce the sweetness of God’s righteousness as promised in the New Covenant.
