Well, I am reading through the book of Leviticus and I stumbled across this particular verse, which intrigued me. 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement."
As I read that first part of the verse it struck me as simple yet profound. Our bodies need the blood to live, this is where the life comes from, our blood. Just like our blood allows us to continue living, and as the writer of the book of Hebrews reminds us, How much more is the blood of Christ than that of the bulls, heifers, goats... You see it is the precious blood of Christ that was shed on the cross that gives us true life, eternal life. And so, as I read this passage, I though to myself, how true it is. LIFE IS TRULY IN THE BLOOD! The blood of Christ that covers all my sins. Praise be to God and to Him be the glory. For who am I to deserve such amazing grace!
