His Blood Was Drawn So You Could Draw Near.

His Blood Was Drawn So You Could Draw Near.
There's a fountain filled with blood, opened for sin and uncleanness — a picture of the grace that lets us draw near to God (Zechariah 13:1; Hebrews 10:19-22).

You go to the doctor, and they draw your blood. Nobody likes that part. But you let them do it, because that draw tells the truth. Toxins. Disease. Whatever's been quietly working on you while you felt fine. If you can skip the needle for years and still feel fine, that doesn't mean you're fine. Your blood's already telling on you whether you look at the results or not.

Every one of us is walking around with blood that testifies against us. Not because we did something extra bad. Because we were born with it running through our veins. Sin was never just a behavior problem. It's in the blood.

Here's the good news in Zechariah 13. There's a fountain opened, filled with blood — not drawn from your veins or mine. Drawn from Emmanuel's. His blood was drawn on Calvary same as ours gets drawn in an office, except His didn't come back with a diagnosis. It came back clean. No spot. No corruption. Nothing in it that needed curing. That's the only blood strong enough to answer for what's wrong with yours and mine.

And Hebrews 10 says because His blood was drawn, you and I can draw near. That draw is what lets your soul walk right up to a holy God and not get struck down for it.

You don't need a second opinion. You don't need to try harder or clean up first. You need a transfusion, and there's only one place to get it.

The fountain's still open. Come be saved.
