Scripture tells us that life is in the blood. It also implies that eternal life is in the blood of Jesus Christ. What does it mean to drink Christ’s blood and to eat His body? How do we draw spiritual nourishment from Christ’s shed blood? As we draw near to the Passover this sermon explores the importance of understanding the significance of the shed blood of Jesus Christ and how there really is salvation in Christ’s shed blood.
