At the very heart of our Christian faith is a precious red substance: the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. The sin-atoning death of Christ is remarkable for being at once, most offensive to the world, most treasured by the church, most astonishing to the mind, and most stirring to the soul. The one thing we would least expect to hear about God is that He sent His own Son to die for our sins. Thus it is Christs precious blood that puts amazing into grace, wonderful into the Gospel, and marvelous into Gods salvation plan. The cross is a theme that Christians will meditate on forever without exhausting its wonder. And of the cross, Gods redeemed will sing with glorious praise to unending ages.
