Life Is In The Blood

Bleeding to death, blood infection, septic

Without the flowing of blood to all body parts and extremities, you and I suffer and eventually, we die. We will, in due course of time, die no matter what, but blood is rather important, to say the least. God has much to teach us regarding:

1 life being in the blood

2 lives being avenged when destroyed via murder, blood for blood and; 

3 being washed clean in the pure blood of Christ

1 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)

● Physically speaking, the body is a dead thing without blood coursing through it

● Spiritually attuning, holy sacrifice blood, atones for the sinful and repentant soul, giving it life

See here, what Judas said about the blood of Christ in Matthew 27:4

Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 

Jesus' blood is referred to as the innocent blood by His betrayer. The callousness of those that paid the mercenary's fee of thirty pieces of silver for the execution of Jesus, displays their complete disregard for the shedding of life blood, and for their utterly diabolical denial of Christ as their promised Messiah: What is that to us? see thou to that

2 There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked (Isaiah 48:22)

Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man (Genesis 9:6)

The wicked go about their killing business as hunted and haunted men and women. They must look behind themselves often, checking, always checking, to see if the grim reaper, the avenger, the one that knows what they have done, is following closely, to return blow for blow in recompense for those that could not defend against the malicious and murderous. The blood soaked earth cries out for justice, firstly with Abel, murdered by his own brother, followed by historical and modern day martyrs and innocents, that have had their lives stolen from them:

And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground (Genesis 4:10)

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? (Revelation 6:10)

Dear reader, I wrote the above as a prelude, an introduction to my main topic, which we will address now as number:

3 being washed clean in the pure blood of Christ

A friend of mine sent me a fascinating article about sheep's blood and snake venom. Before I share what I learned with you, I state: God is mysteriously obvious when he chooses to make a point: if you and I don't catch his drift, if we don't pick up what he is putting down, despite all the ways he attempts to get through the thickness of skulls, he will give us yet another offering to help us understand what he has spoken loudly and repeatedly throughout history. Follow with me now, for the delight of your spirit!

Just a little more scriptural background...

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel (Genesis 3:15)

Eve, the snake, and their mutually exclusive progeny, were perpetually in a state of enmity after the infamous garden of Eden incident. Whilst snakes slither and sneak amongst us, we have been given the right to trample them under foot, along with their creepy crawling relatives, scorpions:

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19)

Jesus is known as the Lamb of God, and the Truth: Satan is known as the serpent, and the father of lies. All people belong to one Father, or another... see now, what Jesus said to serpentine hypocrites:  

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell (Matthew 23:33)

Jesus wasn't a subtle cool California peace and love kinda guy. Jesus was intolerant of wicked men that acted like snakes. Eve and Adam made a grave, literally GRAVE error in the garden, when they ate forbidden fruit in disobedience to God's command not to, and only God could fix and finish the matter in his righteousness. Blood for blood, pure for poisoned, Christ is the anti-venom antidote:

3 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 (Revelation 7:14)

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 (1 John 1:7)

One more:

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot (1 Peter 1:18-19)

Dear reader... sheep's blood as anti-venom!

The wicked roam amongst us, hissing poisonous murderous threats. They always have, they always will, until resolved permanently by the King of kings. Our modern day "medicine" is designed to be deadly while guised as a cure. What a lie... the faithful know there is One and only One, salve for the sick body, the ill soul. It is the blood of the Lamb of God, and by God, we see this truth revealed almost hilariously, humorously, manifestly, in the article I provided a link to above. 

NOTE: I had to remove the link because the COMMies have blocked the sharing of marvellous news... look this story up for yourself, dear reader 💖

I simply love how God gives us cosmic clues to lead us back to him and his magnificently creative design. I end here, saying I would cuddle a lamb and love him up any day, over a sneaky slithery fork tongued snake! 

I sure do hope you enjoy the sweetness of God the way I do, dear reader. Bahhhh, for now 🐑
