Hebrews 9:14 "How much more then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God."
Jesus' sacrifice was so superior to those the priests used to make. Jesus was the perfect lamb and his sacrifice has once and for all cleansed our consciences and wiped the slate clean. He did in one act, what thousands of other acts could not. He once and for all conquered sin and death for us.
This is such great news! We no longer have our sin and guilt hanging over us. We don't have to continually offer sacrifices to atone for our sins. Now I can trust solely in Jesus for my forgiveness. This is good news!
Dear Jesus, thank you! Amen.
