CHRIST’S SACRIFICE ONCE FOR ALL
Tags: blood, body, cleansed, first, Jesus Christ, once for all, sacrifice, second, the law
The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming- not the
realities themselves.
For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly
year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshippers
would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty
for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it
is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for Me;
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
You were not pleased.
Then I said,’Here I am- it is
written about Me in the scroll-
I have come to do Your will,
O God.'”
First He said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You
did not desire, nor were You pleased with them” (although the law required
them to be made). Then He said, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.”
He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been
made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
(Hebrews 10.1-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
