Hebrews 12:24
And to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the Blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Jesus is the Mediator between GOD and man. He is the One who sealed the New Covenant and fulfilled the Old Covenant. "For there is one mediator between GOD and man, the man, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time." (1 Timothy 2:5,6).
The next part of this verse has great meaning. Notice that the Blood of Jesus was "sprinkled". Jesus "shed" His Blood for the remission of sin and for our salvation; His Blood was "sprinkled" for the sanctification and consecration of us. The Blood of Jesus was "sprinkled" on the Mercy Seat in the Heavenlies 7 times, just like the Earthly High Priest was instructed to do in the Holy of Holies in the Temple. GOD instructed "sprinkling" for the sanctification of the people, on the people and on the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies. It is also interesting to note that the Blood on the Door posts and the lintel of the houses of the Israelites when they were in Egypt, was to be "sprinkled" using branch of hyssop.
This Blood of Jesus "speaks", just like the Blood of Abel spoke from the ground after he was murdered by Cain. The difference is that Abel's blood cried out for vengeance; the Blood of Jesus cries out for mercy for all. Remember the cry of Jesus from the cross: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."? The Blood of Jesus still cries out for mercy, forgiveness and grace for all of us.
THE BLOOD OF JESUS SPEAKS BETTER THINGS THAN THE BLOOD OF ABEL
