The sermon's focal point is the symbolic and biblical importance of blood. The Pastor invokes personal memories of his fear of blood in his high school years, a time when he aspired to become a physician, transitioning smoothly into its significance in scripture. Blood, as he points out, is a recurring theme in the Old Testament. He calls attention to Exodus chapter 12, the section where God orders the Israelites to smear lamb blood on their doorposts as a mark of faith and protection. The Pastor clarifies that this act of adherence ensured that their families were safe during the last plague in Egypt: the slaughter of the firstborns. He delineates how blood represents redemption and forgiveness, its shedding necessary for salvation and deliverance, as depicted by Old Testament rituals and sacrifices. The blood of lambs and rams was a symbol, a foreshadowing of the arrival of Jesus – the ultimate sacrificial lamb destined to absolve the world of its sins. Pastor Maxwell rallies the congregation to partake in communion to honor Jesus' sacrifice. He quotes Luke 22, narrating the event where Jesus broke bread and shared wine with his disciples, instructing them to repeat this act as a memento of Him. Closing his sermon with a reflection on God's love and gratitude for His sacrifice, Pastor Maxwell marvels at the idea of God laying down His life for mankind. He underscores the necessity of recognizing our inadequacies while appreciating God's love and rescue. His sermon consistently emphasized the integral role of blood in the biblical narrative, the blood of a lamb symbolizing Jesus' ultimate sacrifice. He encourages the congregation to remember this sacrifice through their faith in Jesus and participation in communion. "When I See The Blood", a sermon by Pastor Maxwell, thus underscores the biblical importance of blood, drawing parallels between the lamb's blood in Exodus and Jesus Christ’s role as the Savior. Its takeaway message is a call to appreciate Jesus' sacrifice and strengthen one's faith through Communion.
