我们就到所洒的血，这血所说的比亚伯的血所说的更美。（改译）（来12:24）
读者呀！你曾就到所洒的血吗？这个问题并不是问你是否明白道理，是否遵行礼仪，或者是有过什么样的经验，而是问你是否就到耶稣的血？耶稣的血是一切属神之人的生命。若你真真就到耶稣，我们知道你是怎样就到的——圣灵把你带到那里。你并不能靠自己的功劳就到所洒的血。犯罪、失丧、可怜的人哪！你来蒙血所洒，只有那血能成为你永远的盼望。你怀着一颗战栗的、痛楚的心就到基督的十架之前，啊，听！你听耶稣的血所发出的声音多么动听！他的血滴流的声音对于悔罪的世人真好似天上的音乐。我们满了罪，但救主叫我们抬头看他，当我们看到他流血的伤口时，每一滴血流下时都在说：“成了，我止息了罪，我带来永久的公义。”耶稣的宝血所说的话多么美好、甜蜜！若你曾有一次就到那血，就必常常就到那血。你的生活必“仰望耶稣”。你整个行为的重心，必然在于“来到主面前”（彼前2:4，5）。不是曾来到主面前，乃是常来到主面前。若你曾就到所洒的血，就感到你有天天就到它那里的需要。那不愿天天在它里面洗净自己的人，实际上他从未洗净过。信徒必然感到现在这泉源仍然畅流，实在是他的快乐和特权。过去的经验不能当作基督徒的食粮，只有现在来到基督面前才能给我们快乐和安慰。今晨让我们在门框门楣上涂上鲜血，然后吃羔羊的肉，那末灭命的使者必会越过我们。

“We are come to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better
things than that of Abel.” –Hebrews 12:24
Reader, have you come to the blood of sprinkling? The question is not
whether you have come to a knowledge of doctrine, or an observance of
ceremonies, or to a certain form of experience, but have you come to the blood
of Jesus? The blood of Jesus is the life of all vital godliness. If you have
truly come to Jesus, we know how you came–the Holy Spirit sweetly brought you
there. You came to the blood of sprinkling with no merits of your own. Guilty,
lost, and helpless, you came to take that blood, and that blood alone, as your
everlasting hope. You came to the cross of Christ, with a trembling and an
aching heart; and oh! what a precious sound it was to you to hear the voice of
the blood of Jesus! The dropping of His blood is as the music of heaven to the
penitent sons of earth. We are full of sin, but the Saviour bids us lift our
eyes to Him, and as we gaze upon His streaming wounds, each drop of blood, as
it falls, cries, “It is finished; I have made an end of sin; I have
brought in everlasting righteousness.” Oh! sweet language of the precious
blood of Jesus! If you have come to that blood once, you will come to it
constantly. Your life will be “Looking unto Jesus.” Your whole
conduct will be epitomized in this–“To whom coming.” Not to whom I
have come, but to whom I am always coming. If thou hast ever come to the blood
of sprinkling, thou wilt feel thy need of coming to it every day. He who does
not desire to wash in it every day, has never washed in it at all. The believer
ever feels it to be his joy and privilege that there is still a fountain
opened. Past experiences are doubtful food for Christians; a present coming to
Christ alone can give us joy and comfort. This morning let us sprinkle our
door-post fresh with blood, and then feast upon the Lamb, assured that the
destroying angel must pass us by.
