“REMISSION BY BLOOD”
READ: Leviticus 17:10-14
“And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” – Hebrews 9:22
Through Moses, we learn that the life of a person is in his blood. None of us would have known the importance of our blood. All the parts of an animal could be eaten but the blood was not supposed to be eaten because it represented life.
Today, we know that the blood carries life to all parts of the body. Moses could not have known that by medical science. Long before medical science discovered it, Moses taught us that the blood of a person contained his life. He knew this because God revealed it to Him.
Because the blood contains the life of a person it represents his life. A bowl of human blood therefore represents a human life. The bowlful of the blood of Jesus that flowed down on the cross therefore represented the life of the Son of God. He gave His life and we saw it when His blood flowed out. This is what we mean when we say that Jesus Christ gave His life for us. It meant that He gave His blood! To give your life is to give your blood! To give your blood is to give your life!
The blood has been chosen by God as the only thing that can be offered to appease Him and to atone for sin – Leviticus 17:11. The New Testament confirms the truth that only blood can save – Hebrews 9:22. This great truth revealed to Moses has passed on to Paul and the New Testament church. The apostle Paul makes it abundantly clear that without the shedding of blood (without the giving of a life) no one can be saved.
