The blood of Christ should cause the Christian’s mind to focus on the “incarnation” of Christ (Philippians 2:5-8; cf. Hebrews 2:14-18; Hebrews 4:14-15). In thinking of Christ’s death, Christians should be motivated to (1) think about the atonement Christ made for all mankind through the shedding of His blood at the cross (cf. Hebrews 9:12-14) and (2) to reflect upon the suffering and death of the sinless Son of God (1 Peter 2:21-24).The phrase, “the blood of Christ,” appears verbatim in the New Testament (KJV) in four verses. With each reference, one finds important lessons about the function and significance of His blood. Christ’s blood is central in the Father’s plan of salvation and spiritual life.
In the ensuing article, let us ask this question, “How important is the blood of Christ to mankind?”
