Why do some Christian denominations plead the blood of Jesus? Where in the Bible is it mentioned Jesus doing this or Paul making it a practice? Wasn’t the precious blood of Jesus shed once and for all causing it to not have to be applied over and over again like a talisman? To plead is to beg. Why are we begging for Jesus’ blood to be applied to non-holy, non-saved or inanimate objects? Why are we taking holy blood and symbolically applying it to unholy things? The blood is for the salvation of people and only that.
The blood washes away sins. Why would we speak it over a stalled car on the freeway? If we see danger looming, something that evokes fear within us then we plead the blood of Jesus over the situation. Or ask God to cover it with the blood of Jesus. The only things that can be covered with the blood of Jesus are the sins of the sinner coming to him with a repentant heart and desiring a new life in him.
Forgive us Lord for our calloused hearts and ignorance.
