BLOOD = LIFE

"Blood is the cause not only of life in general but also of longer or shorter life, of sleeping and watching, of genius, aptitude and strength. It is the first to live and the last to die"

(William Harvey, 17th century British scientist who revolutionized our understanding of circulation and blood)

"I tell you the truth, 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 real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of Me"

(Jesus, 1st century carpenter who revolutionized our understanding of sin, redemption, and everlasting, abundant life)
