A young man was seriously injured in a two-car collision. He had a ruptured spleen, rib fractures and a contused kidney. Surgeons said, "We must operate immediately." The young man and his wife said, Go ahead." "You have lost a great amount of blood, and we cannot operate without supplying a great amount of blood. Without it you would probably die on the operating table!" said the surgeons. The patient and his wife flatly refused to allow blood transfusions! Surgeons argued and pleaded with the couple for hours, but the patient said, "My religion forbids me to submit to a blood transfusion!" The surgeons were helpless as they watched the man die.

So far as I know, the Bible says nothing regarding blood transfusions. The Bible, however, does say much about the precious blood of Jesus which He gave on the cross for the sin of the world. All who refuse His cleansing blood will die in their sin and be eternally lost!

"Of how much sorer punishment . . . shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant . . . an unholy thing" (Heb. 10:29).
