In Isaiah, chapter fifty-two, verse fifteen, “So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.” This phrase refers to spiritual cleansing and purification that people from all nations would experience when they received the message of the Servant-Messiah; this cleansing would come by the sprinkled blood of Christ.
Here begins that wonderful, minute, and faithful description of the office, character, and glory of the Messiah, which has struck conviction to many of the most hardened unbelievers. Christ is Wisdom itself; in the work of our redemption, there appeared the wisdom of God in a mystery. Those who saw Him said, Surely never man looked so miserable: never was sorrow like unto His sorrow. But God highly exalted Him. That shall be discovered by the gospel of Christ, which could never be told in any other way. And Christ, having once shed His blood for sinners, His power continues. May all opposers see the wisdom of ceasing from their opposition, and be made partakers of the blood of sprinkling, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost; obeying him, and praising His salvation.
There is a song about the precious blood of Jesus, which derives from the following chapter, in verse five.
He was wounded for my transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities,
Surely He bore our sorrows,
And by His stripes we are healed.
First John one, verse seven, declares, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” The blood of Jesus shed on the cross stands for believers today
