THE BLOOD THE CROSS 4-2-21 VIDEO LAMB OF GOD SACRIFICED 2
Blood represents life. Without blood there can be no life. There is a cost associated with the blood sacrifice it is the life of the one sacrifice.

The importance of the blood is that it transports oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues in the body. It absorbs and transports heat throughout the body. Blood is a mixture of plasma and blood cells. Jesus gave the sacrifice of his blood for all mankind. His blood opens the portals of heaven.
