A thread which begins in Genesis and carries through the entire Bible has to do with God’s intervention on behalf of the fallen human race through the blood sacrifice of the Messiah. The story line which begins in the very first chapter of the Holy Scriptures is continued to its completion in the very last chapter of the last book […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 10
Over the years I have met many people who have had a great struggle trying to forget their own past. In this part of this series, I would like to take some time to offer some Scriptural help to those who so often struggle with the despair that this torment brings.

For the purpose of salvation of man, this Blood is much more than a biological substance. […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 1
I recently wrote a four part article titled “Why Jesus?” In that teaching series, we went into some detail on what sets Jesus Christ apart from any other proclaimed great teacher, prophet, or messiah. In this series of articles, I will deal with the subject of the “Blood” of Jesus. Although I do not intend the teaching materials to be […]
