It s usually because of certain medications, dizziness, an illness, or just the fact that some can t stand the sight of blood. But if we were ever to have an accident or need major surgery, we could definitely receive blood. We would need that blood to live. Whether we can give blood or not, we can all accept it. Out blood type dictates who we can receive blood from, but there are such things as universal donors.
Universal donors can give blood to any blood type.
Jesus is truly the Universal Donor. He shed His blood to give us life. He gave us a transfusion of grace that will last for all eternity. We often can t stand the sight of blood, but I challenge us all to think of it differently from now on. If you give blood on a regular basis, think of Jesus on the cross shedding His blood for you as you lie there watching the blood flow out of your body to save someone s life.
