 Why does the spilling of someone else's blood save us? Why is that so critical? And taking that even to the cross, Christ poured forth a lot of blood. We know he shed it in the garden. We know he swept blood. We know that his body was torn apart during the scourging and the crowning, and he lost massive amounts of blood. He hung on a cross. A pinprick, one drop of the Lord's blood would have been enough for us, right? So why is this spilling of blood so significant to God?
