Why are we/ChristiansChristians told by the Bible not to consume any blood yet are told to consume Jesus' blood?

I understand the blood and flesh are symbolic, to some, but still, the same spiritual implications are there, I presume. Life is in the blood/it is sacred, do not consume it, Jesus' blood is a gazillion times more so, definitely drink it? Is it a contradiction?
