Christians often sing and preach about the blessed blood of Christ and the wonderful things it accomplishes for believers. To the uninformed ear, such language can convey the idea that Jesus blood had semi-magical qualities. Actually, Jesus blood was normal human blood, but the Bible refers to it in metaphorical terms to portray the many benefits that come to Christians because of Jesus death.In Blood Work: How the Blood of Christ Accomplishes Our Salvation, Rev. Anthony J. Carter traces this theme through the New Testament, showing how the biblical writers used the powerful metaphor of the blood of Jesus to help Christians grasp the treasures Jesus secured for them in His death on the cross. In doing so, Rev. Carter provides a fresh perspective on the atonement Jesus made.Rev. Carter delves into the New Testaments teaching on several of the blessings that flow to believers because of the blood of Jesus, from their purchase by the blood (Acts 20:28) to their freedom through the blood (Rev. 1:5). Christian readers eyes will be opened to the depth of their blessedness in Jesus and their hearts will be moved to thank and praise the triune God for such a great salvation.
