For it is in the giving that we receive
The picture is painted in the Old Testament in the sacrifices of the blood of animals for the sins of the people. But every year on the day of atonement it had to be repeated. The High Priest and not the same high Priest as the year before. Oh no there was another high priest at the altar to repeat the blood sacrifice once again for the sins of the people. From the Tabernacle in the wilderness to the Temple this was repeated every year.
Hebrews 13:11 (KJV) For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. What could these Priests and the blood of these animals not do?
Hebrews 10:11 (KJV) And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: Then why do it? Great question. Here is the answer. Hebrews 10:12 (KJV) But this man (Christ Jesus), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; When was that? That’s another great question. I’m sure you have either read or heard about the cross and the one who hung upon it. Why was all that necessary? As I said the picture was painted in the Tabernacle back in the book of Exodus with the blood of animals. If you understand the basics behind that then when you read of Jesus dying on the cross you can easily see and understand. Hebrews 7:27 (KJV) Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he (Christ Jesus) did once, when he (Christ Jesus) offered up himself. The brush of the artist began to paint in the Old Testament and the painting of the complete portrait was finished in the New Testament at Calvary. A great price was paid for the price of our sin. Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The greatest gift ever.
