the Blood: the Blood and the Cross by ric Gustafson
The cross is central to the shedding of Christ's blood. God planned that his Son would shed his blood through crucifixion. The cross is essential to salvation. The cross divides those who accept Jesus's blood atonement and those who reject it. Those who believe in what Jesus had to do on the cross will be with God in heaven. Those who reject what Jesus had to do on the cross will be in an eternal Hell without God.
Jesus told his disciples about his upcoming encounter with the cross in Matthew 26. The cross was an agonizing way to die. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins forever. Hebrews 4:15 says that redemption required the blood sacrifice of the perfect lamb. Only the Son of God could be that sinless Lamb.
Only when Jesus died on the cross was the decisive victory won for us.
