Where the sprinkling of the blood is,
There the ointment doth remain;
Man in touch with God thus bringing,
These the fellowship maintain.

Cleansing all the sins away;
Ointment, symbol of the Spirit,
Bringing God to man for aye.

a. His Blood Having Been Sprinkled on Us
First Peter 1:2 tells us that we were “chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father in the sanctification of the Spirit unto the obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. ” In eternity past God the Father chose us ( Eph. 1:4 ), exercising His foreknowledge, and the sanctification of the Spirit followed unto the obedience of faith in Christ. Our believing in Christ results from the Spirit’s sanctifying work. We were sanctified, separated, by the Spirit unto the obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; sanctification brought us to the sprinkling of the blood shed by the Savior on the cross and separates us unto this divine provision. As a result, we are now the redeemed ones. The sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ is the basic element for us to experience Christ.
In verse 2 Peter does not use the word redemption. He purposely uses the expression, the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. It would have been too simple merely to use the word redemption. But to speak of the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ is to expound, define, and apply the matter of redemption.
The Conclusion of the New Testament:
Experiencing, Enjoying, and Expressing Christ,
Volume 3 Message 382
THE OBEDIENCE AND SPRINKLING OF THE BLOOD
Today is the dispensation of the sprinkling of the blood of a living Person, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Hence, Peter’s word regarding the sprinkling of the blood in 1:2 is an indication that the dispensation has been changed from that of animal blood to that of the blood of a living Person.
