A family from my church just had a new baby named Bennett, in the pictures he looks really cute. During the pregnancy it was discovered she had placenta previa (I didn't know what that was, but it is when the placenta attaches itself on the lower part of the womb, partly or completely covering the cervix. This can result in lots of bleeding during the pregnancy and the deliver.) Mom, Heidi had the Bennett by C-section on Saturday morning which did result in a lot of bleeding, so much so that she needed to get two blood transfusion.
Talking to Amie yesterday she said without the transfusion Heidi would have probably died and reading dad, Brad's facebook status that said, "Heidi's doing much better today. The transfusion seems to have -- literally -- put new life into her." I am reminded that blood does give life. And although it isn't a perfect illustration while driving to work today I realized without Christ blood I am dead, dying, gone. Christ blood is what give me new live and abundantly so.
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace" -Ephesians 1:7
