365 Pocket Promises from the Bible (Day 93)
A promise about SACRIFICE
When you want to remember Christ’s sacrifice
Just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. HEBREWS 9:27-28
In the Old Testament, God’s people offered sacrifices to him as part of their worship. The blood of an animal was shed as a substitute for the punishment the people deserved for their sin. All the sacrifices of the Old Testament anticipated the ultimate sacrifice of God’s own Son, Jesus, on the cross for the sins of the world. Whenever you must sacrifice or give up something, you can be reminded in some small way of God’s greatest sacrifice and his promise of eternal life in heaven because of it.
What can you sacrifice today to remind you of God’s greatest sacrifice?
