Hi, Harvey. I hope you will run more with your first thought. As a secularised westerner my mind-set doesn't easily take on board that the shedding of blood can be anything more than a medical fact. But it is clear in scripture, in most of the non-western world, and indeed with earlier generations in the West - 'there is power in the blood'. Yet to most of my contemporaries it is offensive or ridiculous. How would you take it forward.
May we be amazed by the Cross & amazed by the resurrection this Easter. John.
