Blood Of The Lamb Signifies Death Of Son Of GOD

The sufferings of Jesus Christ might be set forth by some other figure, but his death on the cross requires the mention of blood.
Our Lord was not only bruised and smitten, but he was put to death. His heart's blood was made to flow. 

He of whom we speak was God over all, blessed for ever; but he condescended to take our manhood into union with his Godhead in a mysterious manner.

He was born at Bethlehem a babe, he grew as a child, he ripened into manhood, and lived here among us, eating and drinking, suffering and rejoicing, sleeping and laboring as men do. 

He died in very deed and of a truth, and was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea. That death was the grand fact which is set forth by the words "the blood of the Lamb." 

We are to view Jesus as the Lamb of God's passover: not merely separated from others, dedicated to be Israel 's memorial, and consecrated to divine service, but as the Lamb slain.

Remember, that Christ viewed as living, and not as having died, is not a saving Christ. He himself saith, "I am he that liveth and was dead." 

The moderns cry, "Why not preach more about his life, and less about his death?" I reply, Preach his life as much as you will, but never apart from his death; for it is by his blood that we are redeemed. 

"We preach Christ." Complete the sentence. "We preach Christ crucified," says the apostle. Ah, yes! there is the point. It is the death of the Son of God which is the conquering weapon.

Had he not poured forth his soul unto death, even to the death of the cross-had he not been numbered with the transgressors, and put to a death of shame-we should have had no weapon with which to overcome the dragon prince. By "the blood of the Lamb" we understand the death of the Son of God. 

Hear it, O men! Because you have sinned, Jesus dies that you may be cleared from your sin. "He his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree," and died that he might redeem us from all unrighteousness.

The point is his death, and paradoxically, this death is the vital point of the gospel. The death of Christ is the death of sin and the defeat of Satan, and hence it is the life of our hope, and the assurance of his victory. 

Because he poured out his soul unto the death, he divides the spoil with the strong.
