HOLY
(John 2:1)
1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,
Okay, here's a little something about Mary, mother of Jesus. Growing up
I had always thought that Jesus was actually the DNA son of Mary. But
as I got older and began to study a little about the uniqueness of the
blood of Christ, I came upon some very cool revelations. I know there
are a million, gah-zillion theories on the matter, but here's the one
that makes sense to me.
Consider (Hebrews 10:5-6)
5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
When we remember from John 1, how that Christ is eternal, that he has
always existed as God, that he was with the Father at the creation of
the earth and of mankind... it becomes evident that Emmanuel (God with
us) prepared a physical body on this earth, and entered into it as a
Spirit Being dwelling inside an earth suit.
Wow, behold the
mystery of the incarnation. Almighty God, existing beyond the universe
and within it, suddenly focuses his presence in the tiny speck of dust
of a human body, a man. God become man. All God in who he is, all man
existing in the physical world, God become Man. You just can't explain
or describe that effectively.
So here is the science that I
have come to understand about blood and pregnancy. I always wondered,
what makes the blood of Christ so unique. If he was born of Mary, from
her DNA, wouldn't he still inherit the sin gene like the rest of us.
How is his blood pure and clean, without blemish, and untainted?
It's all about pregnancy -- specifically -- surrogacy.
In preganancy, the mother's blood never mingles with the baby that she
carries. Food is filtered to the baby thru the umbilical cord, but not
the blood. So the baby gets nutrition, but none of the mother's blood.
Normally if you put one type of blood in someone of a different blood
type, it will kill them. But a baby can be born with an entirely
different blood type than the mother and neither of them gets sick,
because their blood always remains separated.
That is where
surrogacy comes into play. A sperm and egg come from parents and an
embryo is formed, then it is implanted in the womb of a woman that is
not connected to the baby by DNA. Her body will accept the embryo and
respond in a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. She gives the baby no
DNA, only nutrition so it can grow and develop.
So here is
the key of how the Blood of Christ remains pure. God prepared a body
for Jesus to enter into. The Holy Spirit placed a divine embryo in
Mary's body, it spoke to nothing and caused a cell to appear in her
womb. Then it spoke life to the cell and caused it to multiply. In that
instant when life entered that cell, the Spirit Being that is Jesus
entered into it. Jesus brought Life from the moment that Emmanuel was
manifested among us. Both Physical and Spiritual Life in so many many
ways.
So the Blood of Christ remained pure. It was never
mingled with Mary's. It was uniquely prepared by God to be blameless,
untainted, and Holy. The only worthy sacrifice, far above the blood of
any other man, of any other sacrifice, whether plant, animal, or
mankind. It was pure and Holy both physically and spiritually.
(John 15:12-14)
12My
command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love
has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You
are my friends if you do what I command.
The sacrifice
of our fallen heroes moves us and is worthy of love, respect, and
honor. How much more is the sacrifice of our God. Christ knows how
precious a life is. That's why he gave his own to save ours. The Blood
of Christ is an incredible thing, full of Power, full of Cleansing,
full of Healing, full of Love in the purest form <3
