One
Sacrifice For Sins
Day after day every
priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the
same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this priest had
offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of
God, and since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool. For
by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.
The Holy Spirit also
testifies to us about this. First he says: “This is the covenant I will make
with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”
Then he adds: “Their
sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” And where these have been
forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.
Hebrews
10:11-18
When someone asks you
who you love, is it God and/or Jesus? Jesus is the Son of God. He is the one
who saves us from our Sins.
Jesus died once. Three
days after paying the penalty of our sins on the cross, the sinless Jesus
conquered death by rising from the grave and breaking the power of sin. It was
this final sacrifice of blood that opened the only way for us to have a
relationship with God now and a home with Him forevermore.
Every day of the year
we have reason to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior. We should give
thanks each and every day of our lives for that. We should give Him our
blessing every day, and praise Him with our voices.
Christ’s
resurrection is a cause for our celebration.
