The blood of a Man is an integral and pertinent element, for it is the life of all flesh, (Lev 17:14). For man to survive, blood is needed in a substantial amount.
Dated back to the fall of Man in the Garden of Eden after they ate the fruit; they found out that they were naked (Gen 3:7) they tried to cover themselves with fig leaf that will get withered in no time. God intervened and gave them coats of skins as covering (Gen 3:21).
In the process of making an alternative covering for them, there came the need for blood.
God had to kill and spill the blood of some animals to get them coats of skins to cover their nakedness.
That brought about the spillage of blood for remission of sins.
The shedding of blood had been a practice for remission of sins since time immemorial. The Practice continued as the Lord commanded Moses on his jurisdiction regarding the shedding of blood (Lev 2-7). As time passes by,the shedding of Animals blood got God Irritated and he despised them because it was seen as a means of bribery and to appease God and continue sinning (Isaiah 1:11-15).
Hence the blood of Animals failed and the need for a perfect and unfailing blood Arose. (Isaiah 52:13 -53).
The lamb of God that taketh the sin of the World (John 1-29) came to be the perfect match to sacrifice his blood for the atonement of our sins.
The first thing done by Jesus was that he paid the blood of the Animals to them by getting himself delivered in a Manger (Luke 2: 6-8).
The work to offer his perfect blood began immediately he was birthed into the Earth.
[22/04 14:18] COMICONNECTs: When the time was riped for him to offer his holy blood, he surrendered himself to be captured by those that will bring into fulfillment the reason for his presence on Earth (Matthew 26:50).
He was burdened with a cross that ordinarily had more weight than he does. He was battered, humiliated, chastised, humbled, rejected just to offer his blood for the Remission of our sins (Matt 27:11-44) he finally kicked the bucket (Matthew 27:50,John 19:30).
Despite the loads of blood that flowed out of his body before he died, he was punctured and pierced which resulted to an outward flow of blood not remaining any in the body of Jesus (John 19:34).
It was confirmed that Jesus was dead (John 19:30), why was it needed to pierce a dead man? The reason is simply this; to redeem and reconcile man to God, it is needed of him (Jesus) to offer all his blood to bring about plenary restoration. His blood was the perfect match to reconcile man to God which he utterly sacrificed to perfect the adoption of Man in God's family. Hallelujah🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌.
He rose not to die (Matthew 28:6).
May his name be praised.
