No more sacrifices!

At least, no more Old Testament sacrifices. No more killing a lamb for this or two doves for that. No more offering up the first wheat or the best grapes or the tastiest olives.

The time of such sacrifices is past, their purposes having been fulfilled in Jesus.

But I still have a type of sacrifice to offer:

“Offer the sacrifices of righteousness…” (Psalm 4:5).

My right living is a sacrifice to God and for God.

When I choose to be kind rather than to be mean or to ignore, I offer a sacrifice to God.

When I do my duties and do them well, I sacrifice to God.

When I obey, cooperate, submit, pray, encourage, commend, and on and on…I bring a sacrifice to God.

In other words, doing right and living the Christ life is a sacrifice of righteousness.

  1. Hi Mark,

    Your brief comments on a Scripture verse and your bloggings have been excellent. I commend you for the hard work you put into this ministry. Hopefully your materials are being read. May they cause many to draw closer to the Lord and to grow in righteousness.

    Blessings,
