The Power of the Blood Covenant
Matthew 26:27-28, “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’.” The blood of Jesus represents the new covenant (Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20). Blood covenants can be found throughout the Bible. Exodus 24:8 says, “Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, ‘This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words’.”
When Abraham needed hope that what God had promised would in fact come to pass, God cut a blood covenant with him (Genesis 15:9, 10, 17, 18). This covenant established two things, (a) it confirmed that God would fulfil His promises, and (b) it gave Abraham hope. Note, it takes a covenant from God to give you real hope; without such a covenant you are living in hopelessness (Ephesians 2:12).
