"Blood is a symbol of violence, suffering, and death."

Yet, in the Bible, blood is also a symbol of life, cleansing, and salvation. How can something so tied to pain and death be the source of life and hope?
The Bible offers a powerful perspective that transforms our understanding of blood:
"For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life." — Leviticus 17:11.
This verse reminds us that blood, though often associated with death, is also a gift from God to bring life and healing through atonement. It represents the ultimate sacrifice for salvation.
