THE BLOODY, BLOODY GOSPEL"
Chapter 1 (Continuation)
THE BLOOD
God is called "zoe" which mean life. What flows inside God like blood [i.e. the substance like our own blood, that makes God is life]. If you drain blood out of man, that man dies. When blood is drained from flesh, it dies. If blood is the life of the flesh, you can begin to see why blood is so important to God.
Some of God's life is encapsulated in the blood of man. Genesis 2:7 reveals that God formed man's body from the dust of the ground, breathed life it and man became a living person. This means that God's breath of life became blood, which is the life of the flesh to make the man a living soul.
The bible says that the world is sustained by the word of His power and God said that word is life [Heb 1:3].
Since God consists of life and does and sustains things by life, and blood is also life, blood becomes of utmost value in the sight of God. Perhaps that was why God placed a curse upon anything that dares to touch a man's life by shedding his blood.
Genesis 9:5-6
"And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of every man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made He man."
Now, listen to something you might never have heard before. "God sees, hears and smells blood." Blood is life. If blood were only an ordinary thing, it wouldn't have a voice [Genesis 4:10]
Genesis 4:10
"And He said, what hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."
God says He will require the blood of every sinner we come in contact with, whom we have the privilege of witnessing to, but don't.
You know some of us feel so comfortable talking with friends and relations about everything under the sun but the Gospel. May we not be guilty of anyone's blood.
