The Last Sacrifice




  • Text: Mar 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
  • Pray
  • God demands blood in sacrifices – blood has to be involved

Hebrews 9:22-23 (New Living Translation) 22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23 That is why the Tabernacle and everything in it, which were copies of things in heaven, had to be purified by the blood of animals. But the real things in heaven had to be purified with far better sacrifices than the blood of animals

  • God set system of sacs. for children of Israel so they could stay in  relationship with Him. Sacrifices were  temp. until  He solved permanently disobedience prob. / Jesus. This system set in place as soon as man sinned  -  Gen. 3:9
    And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

a)  Goats, lambs, bulls, pigeons – remission of sins
Praise, food (grain) – worship / special ceremony, balance diet priests
b)   Circumcision – blood rite / signify God’s 1st covenant : Gen. 17:10-11

c)   Heb 10:1-13 Message  Bible
1.    Jesus was last sac.
1 The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. 2 If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared. 3 But instead, those sacrifices actually reminded them of their sins year after year. 4 For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 That is why, when Christ[a] came into the world, he said to God, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings. But you have given me a body to offer”.
 6 You were not pleased with burnt offerings or other offerings for sin.”
 7 Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God—
      as is written about me in the Scriptures.’”[
b] 8 First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses). 9 Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. 10 For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.11 Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. 12 But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 13



·        He pd. Price or debt for us – Colossians 2:11-15 (Message)
             11 When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,” but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature.[c] 12 For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, he disarmed[d] the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.
·        Pd our ransom (definition) – redemption of prisoner or kidnapped person, redeem from punishment (set captives free)

Jesus called Lamb Of God – John 1:29, Ezekial  45:15,

Rev.7:10 (KJV)

 10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb
  • Lambs always are sacrificed when mentioned in Bible

  • Jesus’ call was to be the last sac. – to be redeemer – reconcile man back to God – Scripture on Blood Of Christ (at least 25 direct)

  1. God can’t be around sin -
  2. if God’s Kingdom in man’s heart, that man must accept perfect sac. Of Jesus and have Him (who knew no sin) live in them
a)            for gift to be complete, must be accepted
b)            a gift must be free – salvation is ; Eph 2:8,9
  1. Shed blood of Jesus then washes away their sin – God made sure;
 John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,
Romans 8:38 NLT 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

Christ was the last sacrifice needed by God – he paid the price (forgiveness for our sins of the past, present and future
