Verse of the day - Hebrews 10:10 (NRSV)
And it is by God's will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
In chapter 12 of my fifth book, Jesus speaks to us about the sacrifice He made of us.
Excerpt from Pathway To Christ
Before I sacrificed Myself on the cross for the sake of mankind, it was required of people to make sacrifices each year. Through the sacrifice of bulls and goats it was thought the blood of these animals would save everyone from their sins. This is not so. It is only through My Blood that everyone who believes in Me is saved. After My crucifixion, it was no longer required to sacrifice bulls and goats. I gave the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of My dear children. I shed My Blood only once. Through the shedding of My Blood, all generations shall be saved through believing in Me. Come to the cross and believe. Allow My life-saving Blood to flow over you.
Through the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross, we are truly blessed It is only through His Blood and believing in Him that we have eternal salvation.
Several centuries ago, before the time of Jesus, the high priest was required to sacrifice bulls and goats on behalf of everyone for atonement of sins. Once a year, the high priest would enter The Holy of Holies with the blood of bulls and goats and offer it up for the sins of the people. At the time, it was thought that through this offering of blood, the sins of everyone would be cleansed. However, this was not the case. True cleansing of sins did not occur until Jesus died on the cross. Jesus is the Spotless Lamb. It is only through the shedding of His Blood and believing in Him, that we are saved from our sins.
