Many people think that they are criticizing Christianity when they say that it is a bloody religion, but here's the thing: it's all about the blood.
The blood is the life of the flesh. People will ask why did Jesus Christ have to be pierced and bleed? Why the blood? It is a statute. And Blood is the most powerful substance on earth, especially the perfect and pure blood of God!
Matthew 26:28 - For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Colossians 1:14 - "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"
Romans 5:9 - Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Hebrews 9:12-14 - Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:22 - And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
What's wrong with the fact that Christianity is a bloody religion? Listen, the life of the flesh is in the blood. Christianity is alive. The Bible is alive. It is a living book. What was it that made the high priest robe so fair in the Old Testament? His garments were sprinkled with blood. What was it that was put on the mercy seat to take away the sins? It was blood. What was it that Jesus Christ sweated in the Garden of Gethsemane? It was blood. What makes the robes in heaven so fair? The blood.
Revelation 7:14 - And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
It's kind of strange that so many people in the 21st century are so backwards that they are repulsed by a religion that is based on the LIFE of the flesh.
When the Bible says in Proverbs 20:30, "The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly." It is interesting to think about this verse from a scientific lens. Think about what happens when you have a bruise. When you have a wound or are bruised in some way, the blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil because your body is sending blood to that region and your blood is there cleansing the area of infection. In your blood are components of your immune system, like white blood cells, that are going to cleanse away evil. Well, Jesus Christ's perfect and pure blood washes away our sin infection! Praise The Lord.
The Bible is thousands of years ahead of science when it says that the life of the flesh is in the blood, because science did not know this until the 19th century. Science had no idea until then that information is in the blood, but the Bible knew for thousands of years.
We all know that just by taking a blood sample, a doctor can evaluate the health issues and conditions of a person. And the discovery of healing through blood transfusions was a game changer. A blood transfusion replenishes lost blood. But long before science discovered about this biological truth, the Bible has already spoken of it.
For 3000 years bloodletting, which is the removal of blood (originated in ancient Egypt) was a popular way doctors treated most sicknesses. From cutting to lychees…the problem was too much blood. Imagine having a common cold and the doctor gets the knife out! Many people died from this horrible treatment method. George Washington, the first President of the United States happened to be one of them.
Now we know blood is vital for life like the Bible says and the blood tells us so much about our health and what is going on in our body. Instead of bloodletting we now do blood transfusions.
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul." Leviticus 17:11
1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? Are you fully trusting in his grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
