Life Is In The Blood!

Much has been said and written about the Immaculate Conception.

Much has been said and written about the Blood of the Lamb: Jesus the Christ.

Much has been said and written about the Son of Man: the Son of GOD.

Recently I heard someone say that the child’s blood comes from the father, a 20^th Century medical fact, the first (almost) accurate method to prove paternity before DNA; this is something that most people born during the 20^th Century knew.

Jesus the son of Joseph and Mary of Nazareth also known as Jesus the Christ is also the Son of GOD. This is a well established doctrine of the Church that all true Christians know and believe.

Jesus is only the third human to be created by GOD and not conceived by a man and a woman. Adam and Eve were the first and second and Jesus was the third and last; Adam and Jesus are both called the Son of GOD. The difference is that Adam was formed of the dust of the earth then GOD breathed His Life into Adam and GOD created Eve from Adam’s rib.

Jesus was formed in Mary’s womb by the Spirit of GOD (Holy Spirit) and thereby became the only human to be a Son of Man and a Son of GOD. Jesus was formed in Mary’s womb and from that instant was a human and experienced everything that a human could experience.

Jesus’ Blood came from His Father, The LORD GOD Almighty, Yahweh! Every human since Able has gotten his blood from his biological father, a descendent of Adam whose blood came for his Father, Elohim; also known as The LORD GOD Almighty, Yahweh!

So what is the difference? Everything about Adam was formed from dust then Our Father breathed His Life into Adam and he became a living being. Adam’s blood while from His Father was formed of dust just like everything else. When GOD breathed His breath of Life into Adam’s formed body everything in his body became animated by GOD’s Life but they were still formed of dust and to dust they return when our body dies. Everything that Eve was came from Adam. Remember that GOD created Adam as a complete human being; GOD then separated Eve from Adam so that Adam would have a companion equal to him and so that they could procreate and fill the earth as He commanded them

GOD taught the Israelites that life is in the blood and He gave them commandments dealing with blood to keep them pure. This knowledge has been passed on to all of humanity by the teachings of the Bible. Through the wisdom of GOD humanity has gained much medical knowledge about our body, we know that we cannot live without blood, oxygen, water or food. Lack of blood and oxygen bring instant death, lack of water and food take longer.

Life comes from GOD, He created everything! There is no life that GOD did not create! Food and water GOD created to sustain our life and He gave us the wisdom to harvest and consume them. But oxygen and blood He created and we do nothing to get them but cannot live one moment without them.

Natural life is in the blood and eternal life is in the Blood of Christ. We all have life because we have blood flowing through our veins, if our blood is lost or diseased we die. Humans generally refer to ourselves as flesh and blood; Jesus presented Himself to the disciples after His resurrection as being flesh and bone. Born again Christians have eternal life because the Blood of Jesus was shed from the garden to the cross and His sacrificial blood offering cleanses us from our sin. The sacrificial blood offerings of animals only covered sins and had to be applied continually. The sacrificial offering of the Blood of the Lamb was once for all.

If we believe that Jesus is the Son of GOD, born of the virgin, who lived a sinless life overcoming every temptation that is common to man; then we are born again. Holy Spirit comes to live in us (we are His living temple in the earth), we are promised a new eternal body for our eternal being and a place in GOD’s Kingdom.
