For the life of the flesh is in the blood…
Leviticus 17:11

1. Blood was created to carry life.
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,
and DRINK HIS BLOOD, YE HAVE NO LIFE IN
YOU.”
John 6:53

Blood is a red, oxygen-containing liquid that gives life to
everything it comes into contact with. Blood carries life by
carrying life-giving oxygen and taking away poisonous carbon
dioxide. Just as human blood carries life to every part of the
body, the blood of Jesus carries eternal life.

The Life is in the Blood
One day I watched a man’s leg being amputated in the
theatre. Never had I felt such depression as I watched the
operation unfold. I felt very sorry for the man as I watched
his leg being carried away by hospital attendants. But a week
Eternal Life Through the Blood of Jesus
later, I found this man whose leg was amputated sitting up in his
bed, smiling and laughing with visitors. A few days later, I saw
him going home happily.
He still had life in him and was going home to continue living
happily ever after with his family.
I realized the truth in the scripture that says that the life of the
flesh is in the blood. His life was not in his leg. If life were in his
leg, he would have died when they cut it off. The life is indeed
in the blood.

2. The blood gives life because it can reach every part of
the body.
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which
no man could number, of ALL NATIONS, AND
KINDREDS, AND PEOPLE, and tongues, stood
before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with
white robes, and palms in their hands; …And one of
the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these
which are arrayed in white robes? And whence came
they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And
he said to me, these are they which came out of great
tribulation, and have washed their robes, and MADE
THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
Revelation 7:9, 13-14

Just as human blood by its fluid nature reaches every part of
the human body, the blood of Jesus Christ can reach every single
member of the body of Christ.
Blood gives life because it unites the whole body. It unites
the rest of the body with vital organs like the heart and the lungs.
Just as our human blood unites the entire body, all members of
the body of Christ are related to one another and to Christ the
Head by the blood that flows everywhere. Through the blood of
Jesus, everyone can be connected to God.

Just as the blood reaches every part of the body, the blood of
Jesus is able to reach every part of the world. The blood of Jesus
is effective universally. Every tribe and nation of the world can
be reached by this blood. The blood of Jesus will connect the
remotest village in the world to the throne of God and the Lamb
that takes away the sins of the world.
The blood of Jesus is therefore the basis for strong relations
and bonds that develop in the body of Christ between apparently
unrelated people of varied backgrounds.

3. The blood carries life because it has the ability to
carry nourishment.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and DRINKETH MY BLOOD,
HATH ETERNAL LIFE; and I will raise him up at the
last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is
drink indeed.
John 6:54-55

Blood is a red liquid, containing dissolved food, that gives life
to everything it comes into contact with. Within the blood are
molecules of life-giving protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins
and minerals. No wonder there is life in the blood! Just as red
blood cells in human blood bring food to every part of the body,
the blood of Jesus Christ brings life and well-being to everyone
it comes in contact with.
Anyone who eats and drinks the blood of Jesus is going to
enjoy eternal life.

4. The blood gives life because it has the ability to cleanse
you regularly.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the BLOOD OF
JESUS Christ his Son CLEANSETH us from all sin.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:7,9
Blood is a red, carbon dioxide removing liquid that gives
life to everything it comes in contact with. Just as human blood
carries away unwanted carbon dioxide, and disposes of it in the
lungs, the blood of Jesus carries away our sin and filthiness.

5. The blood gives life because it has the ability to purge
and to sanctify.
WHEREFORE JESUS ALSO, THAT HE MIGHT
SANCTIFY THE PEOPLE WITH HIS OWN BLOOD,
suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore
unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Hebrews 13:12-13

Blood is a red liquid that gives life to everything it comes
in contact with by removing deadly poisons. Human blood
also carries away unwanted poisonous chemicals like urea and
disposes of them through the kidney. Indeed, the blood of Jesus
fights the sin that destroys us.
The blood washes and removes poisonous and dangerous
sins, attitudes and stains from our lives. Just as the blood in the
human body fights to prevent you from dying from all sorts of
illnesses, the blood of Jesus keeps you away from death. The
blood of Jesus is what keeps you from eternal death in hell.

6. The blood gives life because it contains elements that
overcome spiritual and physical diseases.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God,
and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our
brethren is cast down, which accused them before our
God day and night. AND THEY OVERCAME HIM
BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by the word
of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto
the death.
Revelation 12:10-11

You can overcome physical diseases and spiritual diseases
through the blood of Jesus. Spiritual diseases like bitterness,
jealousy, hatred and insecurity can be overcome through the
blood of Jesus.
Blood is a red, liquid containing cells that fight diseases,
infections and other evils that can kill the body. This is why
blood gives life to everything it comes in contact with. Just as
we overcome infection through the white blood cells in blood
and fight battles against germs and other invaders, it is through
the blood of Jesus that we overcome the devil and other invading
evil spirits.

Blood is a red, liquid containing special cells called platelets
that bring healing to injured parts of the body. Blood heals. Just
as the platelets and other clotting factors within the blood help
to form clots and plugs in wounds, the blood of Jesus helps our
wounds to heal. Through the blood of Jesus we are forgiven for
our terrible sins and receive the inspiration to forgive others and
overcome bitterness.

7. Do you know any other man, prophet or religious
leader who shed his blood for you? Do you know
anyone in this world who has shed his blood to wash
away your sins and cleanse us from unrighteousness?
I don’t!

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby
we must be saved.
Acts 4:12
