SPECIAL TOPIC: SPRINKLED WITH BLOOD

This is OT imagery for

1. cleansing and forgiveness of a leper (cf. Lev. 14:1-9)
2. inaugurating the book of the Covenant (cf. Exod. 24:3-8)
3. installment into a new position (cf. Exod. 29:20-22)

Jesus' sacrifice (cf. Isaiah 53; Mark 10:45; 2 Cor. 5:21) allows His followers to be accepted, cleansed, forgiven, and to obtain a new relationship with God (cf. Heb. 10:22; 12:24). Believers are a blood-bought (redeemed) and blood-sprinkled (sanctification) people.
