1 | What was in the cup, wine? | Mark 14:25 | rabban | 192030 | ||
Hi You wrote "I thought that if alcohol was ingested and entered the bloodstream, the blood would be diluted w/ a foreign substance, making it into an altered state. I thought that Jesus would remain pure absolutely, making His sacrifice acceptable." The acceptability or otherwise of Jesus offering of Himself was dependent on His absolute obedience to the will of His Father (Hebrews 10.1-14). 'He was made sin, Who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him'(2 Corinthians 5.21). Nothing that enters the body and the bloodstream renders the natural body or blood unclean (Mark 7.1--21). Uncleanness is of the moral 'heart' (center of being). When we speak of the 'blood' of Jesus cleansing, we are really referring to the atonement and 'satisfaction' obtained through the shedding of His blood. The physical blood is irrelevant. The blood in the Old Testament was important for what it symbolised, a life given out in death. Thus Jesus was purer than the driven snow, a Lamb without spot or blemish.. In Him |
