No pen can write, no tongue can tell, what the blood-shedding of Jesus has accomplished. The
wondrous fruits of that one sacrifice, both Godward and manward, are infinite in their variety.
The intrinsic value of that blood has fully met all the claims of God, every demand of the law, and
the whole need of man. It has laid a foundation, or rather, in itself forms the foundation for the
full display, throughout eternity, of the glory of God and the complete blessedness of His people.

The virtue of the blood of Christ is felt throughout the highest heights of heaven, and appreciated
there in a way that we can have no conception of here. But in due time its power shall be
manifested throughout the whole universe. The blossoming desert (Isa. 35:1), the wolf living with
the lamb (11:6), the reign of peace and plenty throughout the whole creation in the day of Christ’s
millennial glory (Rev. 20:4), shall alike proclaim the redemption-power of the blood of the cross.
And on the other hand, the awful consequences for sinners who despise that precious blood shall
be endured forever in the deepest depths of unutterable woe. Its power must be felt everywhere.

To the believer, the truster in that precious blood, it has opened the pearly gates of heaven, and
shut forever the gloomy gates of hell. It has quenched the flames of the burning lake, and opened
up the everlasting springs of God’s redeeming love. It has plucked him as a brand out of the fire,
cleansed him from every stain of sin, and planted him in robes of unsullied brightness in the
immediate presence of God.
