There is power in the blood of Jesus power to save, heal, protect, and redeem. From the Old Covenant’s sacrifices to the New Covenant in Christ, the Bible shows that blood has always symbolized atonement and divine mercy. But unlike the blood of goats or bulls, the blood of Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, is eternal and complete.
