Hello Prince. What's up with the blood? Good question. The Israelite priests were required by God to sprinkle blood of lambs on the mercy seat as atonement for their sins.
Before God judged Pharoah's people with the death of their first born in Egypt, he said to the Israelites, "When I see the blood sprinkled on your door posts I will PASSOVER you." (Exo. 12:13) That is, none of the first born of the Israelites would die. Blood was the protection from judgment.
Today, when God sees that a person has trusted in the shed blood of Christ for the remission of his sins, he will "passover" him. That is, judgment can never come upon him because his sins have been taken away to be remembered no more by God. Blood protects from judgment.
The New Covenant, of which the old testament spoke (Jer. 31:31-34), was in the blood of Christ:
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you." (Luke 22:20)
Jesus is the "Lamb of God" who takes away your sin (John 1:29)
Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. (Heb. 9:22)
It is your protection from the eternal consequences of your sins.
That's what's up with the blood. I hope you and your family will apply the shed blood of Christ to your heart by faith.
Peace
