God did not desire the blood of bulls and goats, but He desired a Body to do His will. This is profound when we consider how many think sacrifice is what God really wants. Example: Mardi Gras is a time of indulgence (anonymous because they wear mask). For the days of Mardi Gras do what ever pleases you because a time of sacrifice is to come, Lent, and for 40 days you will sacrifice to pay for your indulgences. Though we may not partake in the same, many have the same mind set. If I do something wrong I must suffer and do some sacrifice. Thus we see people in penitence, attempting to suffer for their own sins, by crawling on their knees or trying to suffer in the flesh, etc. God said in His Word, that to obey is better than sacrifice! He is seeking a body (yours or mine) to do His Will. It is all about the will of God, not the suffering or bleeding of a sacrifice. We are to live of the Tree of Life. Make Him our source of life. All the paying for sins was completed on Calvary. Now we enjoy the Spirit-led life free from guilt and shame. He paid the price, He made the sacrifice and now we are here to do His will. Let His will be done in me as it is in Heaven. Be blessed.
