The Shed Blood Of Jesus: Supreme In Nature And Matchless In Benefits; A Revelation Of Divine Ingenuity

Many great minds have aired their opinions on the age-old debate about the relationship between science and the written Word of God. For those who sit on extreme sides of the fence, there is no middle ground. Contrary to these extremes, my career as a biological scientist and my faith as a Bible-believing Christian mean that I have the privilege of seeing things from both sides of the fence. I find more often than not that scientific data complements the written Word of God. Blood from a scientific and scriptural perspective, is one such example. The science of blood adds credence to Scripture and gives us a deeper insight into why blood is so valuable to the God of the Bible. These revelations are even more significant because they fulfill prophetic Scripture that tells us knowledge will increase in these end-times. Together, both perspectives underscore the ingenuity of God concerning blood from the time it flowed in Adam, as a vital necessity for mankind's natural life, to the time it flowed out of Jesus Christ, as an absolute necessity for mankind's spiritual life. It is rare to find a book that combines scriptural truths with the medical or biological data about blood, which is why I have written one. Science has unravelled many functions of blood that are vital for mankind's natural life. We now understand why blood is so critical for our physical well-being that obstruction of its supply to our vital organs for as little as twenty minutes, can lead to permanent damage and even death.Blood is just as important for our spiritual life. Long before the age of science, the God of the Bible ensured that all, who draw near to Him, are aware that it is the life of the flesh, sacred and precious in His sight. He also made it clear that sacrificial blood is an absolute necessity for approaching Him. Otherwise sinful mankind will perish in the holy atmosphere of His presence. Moreover, the uncompromising nature of God's holiness is such that not just any blood will do. Certain divine stipulations must be adhered to, for the blood to be spiritually effective. When these stipulations were met with sacrificial animal blood in the old covenant, mankind enjoyed the privilege of a close relationship with God, on a temporary basis. Jesus, who was not exempt from these divine stipulations, satisfied every requirement as the ultimate substitute blood sacrifice for mankind. We gain an even deeper insight into how this was possible, through our understanding of human biology. Mankind has continued to enjoy the privilege of a close relationship with God, through the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ. The supreme nature of Jesus' blood also means that we get to enjoy all the old covenant benefits and many other blessings that no other blood sacrifice to the holy God of the Bible can ever match. Jesus also made it possible for us to enter into a special covenant relationship with the God of the bible, and He ratified this new covenant deal with His own blood. There are many divine promises to God's new blood covenant people in Scripture. They include the signs and wonders that Jesus said would follow those who believe in Him, as well as a demonstration of the power in His Gospel through the work of the Holy Spirit. Joshua tells us that none of God's promises to His old covenant people failed. We have even better promises in the new blood covenant, yet many church folks today have never seen the signs and wonders Jesus promised His believers, let alone the greater works than His own. Many in the Church have overlooked the preparation work of Jesus' sacrificial blood, and its importance for the Holy Spirit's role in bringing these promises to pass. We must begin to focus on the blood of Jesus, to get it flowing freely through His Body. As it flows, it will bring nourishment, healing, and restoration to every area of the Church. It will also prepare us for an unprecedented move of the Spirit. That is, the end-time revival waiting to happen.
