Nothing But the Blood

There are certain subjects people tend to avoid, topics that make us uncomfortable, like blood. Yet in Scripture, blood is not peripheral; it is central to God’s message of salvation. Hebrews 9:22 tells us plainly, “…without shedding of blood is no remission.” This confronts us with two truths we often try to soften: God’s holiness and the seriousness of our sin. The repeated sacrifices of the Old Covenant were not the solution, but a sign pointing forward to Jesus Christ. And now, Hebrews brings us to this reality: only His blood can truly cleanse and redeem.
