The Blood

It has been said by some that the Bible is a Book of blood. Those who live outside of its Covenants are often repelled by the Old Testament’s verses that describe in graphic detail the shedding of innocent blood. In the New Testament, the horrific act of Jesus’ bloody execution is the climatic act of the Gospel narratives. In this brief commentary, the author examines the blood of Jesus Christ as much more than a subject for theological study; the blood is central to the life and salvation of every believer.
