The Cross: The Blood Sacrifice

This starts my Lent series called "The Cross." I am taking a look at the metaphors and motifs of the cross in scripture to explore why Jesus went to the cross and what the cross accomplishes. Here I look at one of the most used metaphor for the cross in the Bible- The Blood Sacrifice. This is probably also the most uncomfortable metaphor for us today.

The scripture is from 1 Corinthians 2. I forgot to hit record as I began so the recording starts halfway through the passage.
