The heart is the organ that purifies and pumps blood into the entire system. When you puncture the heart of an animal you have finished it, so that the possibility of its survival is out of the question. Biblically heart is another name for spirit and conscience, "from it flows the springs of life" (Proverb 4:23). It is also the seat of the emotions; the heart is the universal symbol of love. All this will help us appreciate to some extent what Christ did for us in letting his heart be pierced and the last drops of His blood and water flow for us. Oh! How can I repay the Lord for His goodness to me?
