Bleed for something...

Yet another video purchased from Worship House Media for use in web-ministry. This one is about the importance of blood and none more so than the blood of Jesus shed on the cross to provide grace for us, the damned and the doomed. Why blood?

In the beginning, after the fall, God has deemed that only blood can atone for our sins; through sacrifices we gain some temporary form of cleanliness. Over several thousand years the blood of animals was made to be our hope, but the blood of animals can no more save than the blood of men. It is all imperfect and once we sin again we will just need more atonement. This is why we need to accept Jesus as Savior and King. His perfect blood is a permanent atonement.

Not to say that the blood of men isn't an important thing of course as it keeps us alive, but the blood that was shed for us is greater than our own while man and animal are dirty, impure. The blood of Jesus pours out for us as it seeks to remove shame and hopelessness. Can we accept that an innocent man (truly innocent) was made to die so that we might live? What's more can we ignore it?

It's not easy to imagine a perfect (sinless) life. It is not easy to imagine being guilty for the shear volume of crimes we have committed each day. It is not easy to comprehend how blood removed guilt; since it mixes the physical and metaphysical worlds together. It is enough to blow a mind, but with the Word of God in hand these things can be known. Seek and believe...
