Lessons in the Foolish Wisdom of our God: Whose Blood?



Being found with another's blood on your hands will make you a criminal.
The image is a metaphor of blame, grief, and guilt.


How much more then will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:14

When we are found, being covered by the blood of Christ, we have been pardoned.  It is not the blood that is significant, but to whom it belongs.  
After our blood is spilled, it will dry up and leave only stains. 
After Jesus' blood was spilled, it will wash His people and leave them redemption.
