On our trip to the Tower of London, we came across a tower inside, which is known as the Bloody Tower. The Bloody Tower gained its gruesome name by the mid-16th century, when it became associated with the disappearance and supposed murder of the sons of King Edward IV, the ‘Little Princes’ a century earlier.
Outside the Bloody Tower was a sign that showed the direction to the Bloody Tower and to the Way Out. Shortly after seeing that sign, it dawned on me, that in the sign was hidden the beautiful story of Salvation.
The Bible states that the Name of the Lord is a strong and mighty Tower (Proverbs 18:10). In other words, Jesus Christ is a strong and mighty Tower. Jesus Christ, the Prince of peace and Son of the King over all creation was murdered. He was bloodied; He shed His blood so that there could be THE WAY OUT for all of mankind, for without the shedding of blood, there is no remission for sin (Hebrews 9:22), i.e., without the shedding of blood, there is NO way out. In fact, there is No OTHER way.
Proverbs 18:10 (KJV)
10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
Hebrews 9:22 (KJV)
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
