Christ our Redeemer died on the cross,
  Died for the sinner, paid all his due;
Sprinkle your soul with the blood of the Lamb,
  "And I will pass, will pass over you."
 
"When I see the blood,
When I see the blood,
When I see the blood,
  I will pass, I will pass over you."
2
Chiefest of sinners, Jesus will save;
  All He has promised, that will He do;
Wash in the fountain opened for sin,
  "And I will pass, will pass over you."
3
Judgment is coming, all will be there,
  Each one receiving justly his due;
Hide in the saving, sin-cleansing blood,
  "And I will pass, will pass over you."
4
O great compassion! O boundless love!
  O loving kindness, faithful and true!
Find peace and shelter under the blood,
  "And I will pass, will pass over you."

When our Redeemer died on the cross, He died there as the first item of all the creation, as the last Adam, that is, as the Head of all mankind, and as the very God. Because He died there as these three aspects, His redemption is called an eternal redemption (Heb. 9:12). The first two aspects qualified Him to be the Redeemer, and the last aspect ensures that His redemption is eternal, that it can cover everything, and also that it is everlasting. For this reason Christ is qualified to accomplish a redemption that is adequate and eternal.

When John says that the blood that cleanses us, or that redeems us, is the blood of Jesus, he adds the title His Son, the Son of God (1 John 1:7). The blood shed on the cross is the blood not only of the man Jesus but also of Jesus the Son of God. The blood of Jesus is the genuine blood of a man. Only man’s blood can redeem man. Of course, God does not have blood to shed, but even if He did have blood that He could shed, that blood would not be qualified to redeem man. Man should be redeemed by man’s blood. Therefore, the blood of Jesus is the genuine blood of a genuine man, which is altogether qualified to redeem man.

Nevertheless, if the blood of Jesus is only the blood of a man, it has nothing to ensure its eternal effectiveness. Therefore, in 1 John 1:7 the apostle John adds the title His Son, the Son of God, to indicate His divinity. This Jesus is not only the Son of Man to shed the blood of a genuine man, but He is also the Son of God to ensure the effectiveness of His blood for eternity.

I just heard the story in Exodus of the last plague when God passed over the house that was marked with the blood. What a beautiful picture of us today. When Jesus sees the blood on the door post of my heart, He will pass over me. HALLELUJAH PRAISE TO OUR GOD!!!

Many people like to talk about the passover, but not many realize that the crucial point of the passover is related to eating the flesh of the lamb. They talk about the blood and also love to sing "When I see the blood, / When I see the blood, / When I see the blood, / I will pass, I will pass over you" (Hymns, #1005). The blood is precious; however, they do not see that after applying the blood, there is still a need to eat the flesh of the lamb, gird their loins, and put sandals on their feet in preparation for their journey (Exo. 12:6-11). If we only apply the blood for a month, but do not eat the flesh of the lamb, how can we journey on? If I did not eat for just two or three days, I would not be able to give a message properly. Each time I give a message, it seems as if I am livelier than the young people. This energy comes from eating; eating well gives us strength.

First Corinthians 5 tells us that Christ is our Passover (v. 7). He is the Passover lamb. When those in Christianity use the passover lamb for gospel preaching, they always stress the blood. We have a good hymn, the chorus of which says, "When I see the blood,...I will pass over you" (Hymns, #1005). But we need to see that with the passover lamb there is something in addition to the blood. That is the meat. The blood had to be shed, and the meat of the lamb had to be eaten. The striking of the blood was for the eating of the meat. They applied the blood to the house, and then in the house they ate. The striking of the blood was not the goal; the eating of the meat was. Christ is the real Passover lamb, and He has been sacrificed for us, not only to redeem us but also to satisfy us. His blood redeemed us, and His life satisfies us.
