“ 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)Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me”
It is not amazing that Jesus Christ (God/Man) sacrificed Himself through the shedding of His blood (Foretold in the Old Testament) but covers our sins (As shown in the New Testament) with the same life force (Blood) that allows us to survive. And through His sacrifice we are able to be in the presence of the Father in Heaven, where only a sinless person may go.
Yours in Christ,
Carl
