The Blood




A HEBREW'S SEARCH FOR THE BLOOD OF ATONEMENT

Luk 13:34) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!




In the spring of 1898, I was holding; some gospel meetings in San Francisco and several times addressed the Jews attending a Mission to Israel.




On one occasion, having concluded my discourse, the meeting was thrown open for discussion with any Hebrews who desired to ask questions or state difficulties, as also for any who had been brought to Christ to relate their conversions.
The experience of one old Jew interested me greatly and as nearly as I can I give his remarks in his own words, though not attempting to preserve the inimitable Hebrew-English dialect.
He said, “ This is Passover week among you, my Jewish brethren, and as I sat here I was thinking how you will be observing it. You will have put away all leaven from your houses; you will eat the ‘motsah' ( unleavened wafers) and the roasted lamb. You will attend the synagogue services, and carry out the ritual and directions of the Talmud ; but you forget, my brethren, that you have everything but that which Jehovah required first of all. He did not say, ‘When I see the leaven put away, or when I see you eat the motsah, or the lamb, or go to the synagogue;’ but His word was, ‘ When I see the blood, 1 will pass over
you.’ Ah, my brethren, you can substitute nothing for this. You must have, blood, blood, BLOOD!”



“ Blood!” That is an awful word for one who reserves the ancient oracle, and yet has no sacrifice. Turn where he will in the Book, the blood meets him, but let him seek as he may, he can not find it in the Judaism of the present. After a moment’s pause, the patriarchal man went on somewhat as follows: “ I was born in Palestine, nearly seventy years ago. As a child I was taught to read the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets.
