Blood Sacrifices - Hmmmm Sounds extreme. Sounds demanding. Blood smeared over the doorposts in Egypt to spare those inside from the death angel. Most people today know the story. A Roman cross with Jesus held there with nails. Another blood sacrifice. But this blood sacrifice was not for just one nation. This sacrifice was for the entire world. Remember the Garden of Gethsemane? Extreme? Yes Demanding? I'll let you answer that one. Why? What kind of God demands a blood sacrifice? He hates sin (thought, word and deed) SO MUCH but He loves the sinner (all of us) SO MUCH. When I asked Jesus to come into my life God no longer sees me, but the blood of Jesus covering me (His righteousness) like that Egyptian doorpost. A lot of blood is being spilled these days. A lot of pain and anger is being expressed. What does Jesus on that cross have to do with all of this today in 2020? We ALL need to answer that question for ourselves. Accepting HIS blood sacrifice is the only answer. Ryan Turner, thank you for reminding me of this.
