The Blood of Jesus

Introduction:

The blood of Jesus!  We talk about it.  We sing about it.  We use the words in our affirmations and in our prayers.  But do we really understand why these precious words have such an important place in the Christian faith?

Picture with me a scene in ancient Egypt.  As heavy darkness falls, Israelite men stand before their houses.  With makeshift brushes, they furtively paint the sides and tops of the doorframes with blood, forming a perfect cross.

The blood is that of an unblemished lamb, and the men are following exact instructions given by God.  When their job is completed, they retire inside their houses to wait for the answer to God's promise.
