Leviticus 17:14 (New International Version)
14 because the life of every creature is its blood. That is why I have said to the Israelites, "You must not eat the blood of any creature, because the life of every creature is its blood; anyone who eats it must be cut off."
The blood of every creature contained its life, but it was tainted with death resulting from sin. This command pointed to this fact and the blood of Jesus that would be spilled on our behalf. Jesus said to "drink this my blood", for it is the blood of life. In contrast to the teaching of Moses, anyone doing so will no longer be cut off but live, for it is the blood of true life. It is through this blood we are reconciled with God and acceptable in His sight. Life of every creature is in the blood of Christ.
