“And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:”
Genesis 4:4 KJV
When our offering is sacrificial, the Lord has respect for it. Abel was killed because Cain, his brother, was jealous of him. Abel’s blood cries for vengeance. Jesus is the Mediator of the new covenant, Whose Blood was shed by His own people who were jealous of Him. Jesus’s Blood speaks better things than Abel’s. Abel’s blood cried vengeance. Jesus’s Blood cries forgiveness and reconciliation with God. God has respect for Jesus’s Blood forever because we are sanctified through the offering of the Body of Jesus Christ, once and for all. There is no more offering for sin now as Jesus’s Blood perfects us who are sanctified by it. Worthy is the Lamb of God!
