I notice people preach a bloodless gospel more and more as time goes on.
Today You will often hear of Jesus, that His grace is available to all who love Him and accept Him and so forth, The Christmas story and baby Jesus often is on display at stores.
That is great and wonderful too, but why don't people preach about that Blood that had to be shed to save each of us anymore?
This is what brought about the NT covenant and washes us from sin.
It seems no one wants to hear about a God who was beaten and bruised and cut and torn and speared and bled all over the place while hanging from a wooden cross to save a bunch of wretched sinners like us.
No one wants to hear how awful the bloody sacrifices of lambs and other animals were that atoned for the many sins of the wicked in the OT and yet that was the requirement for cleansing, Something had to die to save you!
It takes blood to atone for sin.
Blood had to be shed often in the OT, It started with Adam and Eve when they first fell. Animals had to die for a covering to clothe their nakedness.
We are no different today as it takes blood to cover our sins, But we are so blessed to have the One time eternal sin Sacrifice just for accepting this free gift. [Free on our part, Not His]
Jesus Christ is our sacrificial lamb, He was tortured and beaten and He bled all over the cross and thank God He did it, Thank God that wonderful precious Blood was applied.
I think we should be reminded once in awhile of the price that our wonderful Lord paid for our ransom, It wasn't pretty and in fact it was downright brutal, But He endured it all to save us sinners because He loves us.
Thank You Jesus my Saviour
