“For
the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to
make atonement for yourselves on the altar, it is the blood that makes
atonement for one’s life” (Leviticus 17:11). The
Old Testament principle, cited in Hebrews – “without the shedding of
blood, there is no forgiveness of sins” finds its fulfilment in the
death of Christ – “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). He says to His disciples, “This is My blood of the covenant which is poured out for many” (Mark 14:24). Psalm 31:9-13
sounds very much like a description of Christ’s suffering on the Cross.
This is followed by these great words: “But I trust in You, O Lord; I
say, ‘You are my God’” (Psalm 31:14). The Psalmist goes on to say that “the wicked” will “lie silent in the grave” (Psalm 31:17). This is in contrast to Christ who rose from the grave.
