The Blood – Dwight Lyman Moody

Hebrews 9:22
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

The collector of railway tickets did not look to the character or education of the holder of the ticket, but to the ticket itself. In like manner the blood was a token which typically indicated the way they were to be saved.

(D. L. Moody.)
