It's the blood

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,”
Hebrews 10:19

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7

“The life is in the blood [of Jesus]”

It’s about the blood. As a kidney recovers, and begins functioning as designed, it progresses through three stages: removing water from the body, removing toxins from the body, and the final stage is the creation of red blood cells. Anne’s kidney progressed through the first two phases in an exemplary fashion – and we waited for the third phase to begin. We were warned that not all transplanted kidneys achieve this higher stage. We learned yesterday that Anne can stop taking the drugs which produce red blood cells, because her kidney is!

Much of the work accomplished for us by Christ revolves around The Blood, and the Old and New Testaments are replete with references to all that the blood accomplishes. The blood of Christ accomplishes relationally, what blood in our bodies accomplishes physiologically. Blood cleanses, heals, restores, adds vitality, supports life, allows movement etc. How awesome that in Gods’ design, the highest function is that which restores and maintains life. Thank you for your blood Lord Jesus, for your gift dear Father and leading us into both, Holy Spirit.
