Many Christians have different interpretations of the piercing of the side of Jesus. John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and immediately there came out water and blood. My understanding is the body=flesh, blood=sacrifice; the flowing power of life’s energy in the flesh, and water=element that brings forth life, spirit in manifestation form.

I understand that the people were preparing for the Sabbath, and they didn’t want the crucified to be on the cross on the holy day. To speed up the death of the crucified they would break their legs, but when it came to breaking Jesus’s leg, instead the soldier pierced his side, because he saw that Jesus was already dead.

To me, everything about Jesus death can be described as a spiritual interpretation that I have come to understand. Jesus, on the way to the cross, was already traveling between dimensions; Heaven and Earth, communicating with God the Father as the Angels propped Him on every side, to make it to the cross to fulfill the scriptures, that he will die on the cross and rise again in three days. For example, Jesus said, ”I thirst.” and they give him vinegar to drink John19:29. The meaning of vinegar symbolizes the water that would make us thirst again. In the story of the Samaria woman in John 4:7, Jesus asked her for water to drink at the well. In understanding the story of the Samaria woman and Jesus, it is impossible to visualize, Jesus of all people asking for water at His crucifixion. It depicted his humanity [flesh] crying out, because remember Jesus said,”whosoever drink of the well of Jacob shall thirst again,” John4:13. But in John 4:14 Jesus added,” whosoever drink of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst.” Jesus wasn’t thirsty for water as we know it. He was thirsty for the well of water springing up into everlasting life, as His spirit was slowly slipping away from His flesh.

The water and the blood is very significant to the flesh [body]. The blood and the water was the power and the victory over the flesh, that once it was poured out of Jesus, it was the key to unlocking the gates of hell that bind us to sin and set us sinners captive-free. The water and the blood had to be poured out for us and on us. Glory be to God for His mercy endure forever. The blood and the water was the beginning of unity between humanity and spirituality within.

Matthew 27:50-53 Jesus, when he had cried with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, the rocks rent; the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after Jesus resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared unto many. Let’s not forget in Matthew 27:45 From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. All that happened at the point and time of the crucifying of Jesus from the darkness, veil, earthquake, rocks and the grave was Jesus’s spirit had leached on or dispersed into the world with such great force of power that there was nothing left untouched by it. The darkness had to come so He could take it all away.

What is really important to our salvation was the death and the resurrection of our Lord and saviour Jesus. Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death. Jesus was born without sin that’s why death could not hold him down. His spirit had been received into the Father’s hand once he had given up the ghost. Luke 23:46 Jesus after being placed into the Sepulchre[tomb] was once again being ministered unto by the angels and communicating with His father waited for His body[flesh] to reconnect with Jesus the spirit being without having to be born of a woman again. John 20:17 Jesus said, ”Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and your God.”

The piercing of Jesus side also showed us that it was not by man hands that He’d perished, He was already dead. John 19:33. Jesus chose to give up the ghost [die]. Jesus’ death and resurrection is not the same as Lazarus John 11:4 Lazarus sickness was not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the son of God might be glorified. John 11:25,26. Lazarus was never meant to die. He was meant to be a martyr to represent the ability to overcome sickness and rise up from the dead through Jesus Christ our saviour. Jesus said, I am the resurrection, and the life, he that believe in me though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever live and believe in me shall never die.”
