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, my God.’”

Hebrews 10:5 – 7

Is it possible that God dismissed the ancient practices of sacrifices that human beings devised to please God?  This is what this precious passage says.  God can not simply wave a wand and our sins are forgiven.  No, the Gospel of God says God did not desire more and more sacrifices.  No.  That is the explosive meaning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

A sacrificial lamb cannot say, “I have come to do your will, my God.”  Jesus, the Lamb of God said that because he came to earth to do exactly that.  That sacrifice was done, DONE!  God’s grace and my sin met on that sacred head!

I am speechless!  Oh, my blessed Lord, embrace me with your unfailing love and ongoing cleansing.
