Your blood on me

All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” (Matthew 27:25)

Jesus, your blood is on me, my responsibility. It is because of my sin that you died.

But Jesus, your blood is on me, sprinkling me clean of a guilty conscience. (Hebrews 9:19-22; 10:19-22)

Because of the cross, the temple curtain that separated me from the Father is torn in two. Now I have free access to him. I can draw near to him–and you–without fear.

Thank you, Jesus, that your blood is on me.
