The Once-for-All Sacrifice

Forest Hill Presbyterian Church

The Once-for-All Sacrifice-Hebrews 10-1-18-Maundy Thursday 2024--The Repetition of Futility- The Old Testament Sacrificial System-Day after day, Year after year. Daly sacrifices and the Day of Atonement. Never finished. Never sitting. Always.--450 years in the Tabernacle. -400 years in Solomon's Temple -990-587-. -500 years in the Second Temple. -517 BC - 70 AD--So, WHY-- The purpose of the Old Testament sacrificial system-To be a constant reminder of sin and the need for redemption--What made Jesus' sacrifice better---He's infinitely more valuable - The Son of God vs Animals-He was sincerely and perfectly obedient - truly spotless - Sinlessly perfect and complete-He was willing - He freely offered Himself--What did Jesus' sacrifice accomplish---Perfected for all time those who are being sanctified- Positional sanctification vs Process of sanctification-No longer any offering for sins--How are we changed by His sacrifice---Set free from guilt and shame-Set free from the endless cycle of futility-Set free to obey from the heart in love and sincerity
