Chapter 17 11 (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 9:22). Blood Was Sacred—The blood of the Son of God was symbolized by the blood of the slain victim, and God would have clear and definite ideas preserved between the sacred and the common. Blood was sacred, inasmuch as through the shedding of the blood of the Son of God alone could there be atonement for sin (The Signs of the Times, July 15, 1880).{1BC 1112.1}

kapitel 17

11 (Matt. 26,28; Hebr. 9,22). Blodet var helligt. - Guds Søns blod var symbolet på det slagtede offers blod, og Gud vil have klare og bestemte tanker bevaret mellem det hellige og det almindelige. Blodet var helligt, da udgydelsen af Guds Søns blod alene kunne være forsoning for synd. (ST 15. Juli, 1880).
