Does any of the mother's blood flow through a baby while it is in the womb?
No, none of the mother's blood courses through the baby while in the uterus or womb. The baby's blood is kept separate from the physical mother, shielded from her pollution. This biological separation parallels the teaching that Christ's blood originated with God Himself and was divine.
Les explains that none of the mother's blood courses through the baby while it is in the uterus, in the womb. The baby's blood is kept from any pollution of the physical mother. He then draws the parallel that Christ's blood originated with God Himself, so when He was born, divine blood coursed through His veins. When His blood was shed, it was not merely the blood of another human being but the divine blood of God Himself. This was the price of redemption. God set forth Christ Jesus to be a propitiation through faith in His blood. Les stresses that if we do not believe in the shed blood of Christ and its power for atonement, we are lost; no one will be in heaven unless redeemed by faith in the blood of Christ. The blood of Christ is the only purchase price for our redemption, and we must appropriate it by faith—we believe it and trust in it. He also connects this to declaring His righteousness for the remission of sins in our past.
