THE BLOOD

Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb. "And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. "For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. ... And it came to pass at midnight that the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock. - Exodus 12:21-23, 29 

There was going to be death in every household in Egypt.  Every firstborn of men and livestock was going to be struck  down by the LORD. There was one way of escape and that  was the blood of the lamb. Every house that had the blood  of the lamb on its lintel and door posts escaped the plague.  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  - Romans 3:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 6:23 

All of us, as sinful mankind are under the wrath of GOD  in this fallen world, under the sway of the devil. All of us  have an eternal death sentence to be eternally doomed in  hell. There is only one way of escape and that is the blood  of the Lamb of GOD. Every individual who has his/her  sins covered by the Blood of the LORD JESUS escapes  eternal death and enters into eternal life. This life starts  here and now and continues after our physical death, to  everlasting life in heaven.

'For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.' - Leviticus 17:11 

"Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." - Mark 8:37-38 

Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. "For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. - John 6:53-56 

The children of Israel were forbidden to eat the blood  of animals. Although the children of Israel were commanded  to sacrifice animals.     Blood is normally concealed within the body. When this  blood is revealed because of injury or disease, it draws  attention and causes alarm.  Red is the colour that is most attractive. Whenever we see  anything red, let us remember our red redemption!     Let us be grateful for the precious blood of JESUS  that was shed for us.
