Finished Work - Epistle of Hebrews Part 18

<p>The Old was a preview, a shadow of the good things to come. They offered sacrifices every year because animal sacrifices could not effect perfect cleansing otherwise, the sacrifices would stop. The animal sacrifices reminded the Jewish nation of their sins every year. And it could not clear their conscience because the blood of animals cannot remove the guilt. Only the blood of Christ can remove the guild and clear the conscience. Christ mentioned that God was not pleased with animal sacrifices even though it was in the law. Christ came to fulfill God's will, which was to sacrifice Himself (10:3-7), He offered Himself once and once was enough. His unblemished life made it effective. Thus, Christ was the only worthy sacrifice .</p>
