Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come . . . it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year. —Hebrews 10:1
The constant sacrifices of bulls and goats were never enough to fully atone for the sins of the people. Hence the Israelites needed to constantly repeat this ritual during the Old Testament. But Christ is the true Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). God’s rescue of sinners to redeem them and join them to Himself through Jesus Christ was always the plan. Jesus came with that mission, knowing the cost.
He didn’t make an attempt to save us; He came to pay for the sins of every person who would believe—and it was finished!
I pray that we will all live in light of that incredible demonstration of love and that we too will humbly accept our mission and live in obedience, loving like Jesus by dying daily (1 Cor. 15:31) and killing the deeds of the flesh for the cause of Christ.
