Weinstein was operating on 8-year-old Francisco Fernandez when the procedure called for more blood for the child. Francisco’s blood type was B-negative, which is present in only 2% of the population. The only person in the room with B-negative blood was Dr. Weinstein.
Dr. Weinstein set aside his scalpel, washed his hands, and sat down to donate his own blood. Twenty minutes later, he rejoined the operating team and watched his own blood circulating into the boy’s veins. He was able to save the boy’s life because he was the only person available with the correct blood type. (“Doc Stops Surgery to Give Own Blood to Patient” May 26, 2006)
Jesus has the only type of blood that can redeem you (1 Pet. 1:18-19) and He donated it to save your soul. Babies in the womb can have a different blood type in their bodies than their mothers. My daughter Hannah has A-positive blood, but my wife Cindy has A-negative.
When Jesus came into the world, His Father prepared a body for Him (Heb. 10:5). That’s why He was conceived by a virgin, so He could have a different kind of blood (Luke 1:30-35). He didn’t receive His blood from His mother, and didn’t have an earthly father. Jesus’ blood was God’s blood. Jesus purchased the church of God “with His own blood” (Acts 20:28).
He donated His blood to redeem you, but you must receive Him. “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7). www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com www.makinglifecount.net
