Leviticus 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for you souls; for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
There are two especially important truths that are stated here: The first is that the value of the "life" is the measure of the value of the "blood". JESUS, the Son of GOD in the flesh, has Blood of inconceivable worth. When it was shed, the sinless Lamb of GOD gave His life for sinful man. His Blood was the perfect offering for our sin and was received as the propitiation for sin, when it was poured upon the Altar in Heaven.
The second fact is that it is not the blood in the veins of the sacrifice, but the blood upon the Altar which is efficacious. The Blood of JESUS did not remain on the earth, but was carried into the heavenly Temple, when He rose from the dead. JESUS, the spotless Lamb of GOD was slain from the foundation of the world, so that mankind would have access to GOD.
At the Birth of JESUS the plan of salvation began its earthly unfolding. The plan, begun in the mind of the Father, now is being carried out through the Son. This Holy Birth brings to man GOD the SON, the redeemer of the world.
GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST AND PEACE TO HIS PEOPLE ON EARTH
