Seems like vampires are very prevalent in the media these days. One of the most recent examples is the Twilight Saga film series, two of which hit the box office in late 2009 and have already grossed over 1 billion dollars. The third was set to be released this last Wednesday, June 30.
The fictional vampire is most often a human-like creature that requires blood to survive, primarily human blood. They are sometimes viewed as humans who have died and become “undead” at night and prey on human victims.
While many view such things as harmless, often, the evil one uses such things to confuse us and cloud the truth. Sometimes the most dangerous things are those that are the most similar to truth!
Vampires. The Undead. Beings who come back to life at night and subsist on blood, mostly human.
Christians believe that only God holds the power over life after death. Look out folks! everything else is from the devil!
The blood. What about the blood? the mythical vampires selfishly TAKE the blood of their unwilling victims in order to survive.
Jesus voluntarily gave [yeah, I know that’s redundant], freely GAVE, His life, His blood so that we may live.
His death is proof of His unselfish love. A vampire living is proof of its selfishness and evil.

The contemporary worship band, Casting Crowns, shares this incredible message:
Giver of every breath I breathe
Author of all eternity
Giver of every perfect thing
To You be the glory
Maker of Heaven and of Earth
No one can comprehend Your worth
King over all the universe
To You be the glory
And I am alive because I’m alive in You
It’s all because of Jesus I’m alive
It’s all because the blood of Jesus Christ
That covers me and raised this dead man’s life
It’s all because of Jesus I’m alive
I’m alive, I’m alive
Don’t be fooled by counterfeit trickery. It’s all about the blood of Jesus. Not to appease an angry Father, but to prove the extent of His love for us!
Father, lead me day by day to reflect Your love just a little more.
