Life Blood

Leviticus 17
14 The life of every creature is in its blood.


When the Lord God is giving His regulations to the people of Israel, He tells them that they must never eat blood. When the kill an animal to eat, they are to drain all the blood out of that animal and cover that blood with the dirt of the ground. Then, we read the statement found in the first part of Leviticus 17:14. That reminds me that my life is found in the Blood of Jesus. His Blood, poured out for my sins, saves me! How odd that we come full circle at the Communion Table when we drink a cup of juice representing the Blood of Christ. How cleansing. Praise God!
