Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Blaine, your question reveals why you don’t 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 sin—just 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 CHRIST—because THAT is what OVERCAME his evil devices and has sealed his eternal doom, as well as the Believer’s eternal deliverance from damnation.  May God help you to understand this.  Izzy
