"Short Reflections" (c.1820), The Writings of Elder John Leland p.499 (1845)
IT HAS ALSO BECOME HABITUAL for men to say, “there is
virtue enough in one drop of Christ’s blood, to save a world.”
That the blood of Jesus cleanses from all sin, and speaks better
things than the blood of Abel, is certain. But if one drop of his
blood was sufficient to make an atonement, why did he go
through all the pain of shedding the whole of it? Is it not more
likely, that all his blood was required to make reconciliation? |
