Les Feldick Bible Study

Was Jesus' blood ordinary blood?

No. The blood of Christ was not ordinary blood. The transcript states that blood was divine and holy, possessing power to cleanse the whole world's sin problem. It cannot be reduced to ketchup or human dramatization, since the work of the cross required the God of creation Himself.

Les teaches that a listener wrote asking about dramatizations of the cross that use ketchup for the Lord's blood, questioning whether it is almost blasphemy. Les agrees. He explains that no human can dramatize the work of the cross, because it took the very God of creation to accomplish it; it is far beyond human endeavor. The blood was not ordinary blood and cannot be described as ketchup or anything that might take its place. That blood was divine and holy, with power to cleanse the whole world's sin problem. He adds that Christ died for the whole world, not just for the believer.
