Daily Bread – September 9, 2024 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) Hebrews 10:4 – It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin. Life Is In The Blood Many today and throughout history have failed to realize why the subject of the blood is so important to both Judaism and Christianity. As blood is fundamental to physical life, it is also fundamental to spiritual life and redemption. The blood carries within it both the breath and the healing agents of physical life. Without the blood a person cannot live, for the life is in the blood. But the life-giving power of the blood extends beyond physical life and is central also to redemption. Man had ruined His life and wrecked it with the incurable disease of sin. The only way that man could be cured and redeemed to life necessitated the destruction of his sin-disease and the recreation of a new life in God. Rather, than wiping out sinful man and starting over, God brought forth a means of recreating man through a redemption that would transfuse the life of God into a person and thereby make a new creation (John 12:24, 14:17, 15:1-5; Titus 3:5; John 3:3-5; Romans 8:9,11; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Colossians 1:28; 1 John 3:24, 4:4,12-16; 2 Timothy 1:14; Ephesians 4:24)!
