Blaine, I honestly believe you are baiting Christians on TT, or else you
truly have not read the Bible.

BLOOD is the key word, I think--which he shed in large quantities in
Gethsemane--apparently more than he actually shed on Calvary. When he
returns he
will be wearing red--right? This is a symbol of his blood drenching his
entire
body, which it did not do on the cross. In fact, other than the wounds
in
his hands, feet, and sides, little blood was shed on the Calvary cross.

Blaine, your question reveals why you donât understand Christian
reverence
for the Cross. Jesus had to die on the cross as the payment for our sins.
He was the innocent, perfect sacrificial Passover lamb, slain for the sins
of
the world. Just as the Jews, who were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, had to
paint the blood of the Passover lamb on their doorposts to make the
Destroyer
pass by them during judgment on that horrible night in Egypt when all the
firstborn were slain, Jesus serves as our blood sacrifice, that we might
be
spared death for our slavery to sin, and deliverance from sinâjust as the
Jews
were delivered from Egypt. Jesus, the Firstborn, who was without sin, was
the
only one qualified to be that perfect holy sacrifice for our sins. It was
His
Blood, shed on the Cross (nowhere else, because THAT is where He actually
was slain), that redeems all those who take cover under it, just as the
Jews
did under their doorposts. THAT is why satan HATES the mention of THE
BLOOD OF
CHRISTâbecause THAT is what OVERCAME his evil devices and has sealed his
eternal doom, as well as the Believerâs eternal deliverance from
damnation. May
God help you to understand this. Izzy
