Today's short thoughts find there source in Hebrews 9:25-26 where we read, "nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself."
No, He would not offer Himself often but only once. Sufficient! Satisfied! Finished! The degree that He suffered when He "became sin" and the sufficiency of His sacrifice would negate forever any further suffering for Him to endure. And He would not enter the holy place with "blood not his own". The high priests who entered the holy place year after year served as a copy, or shadow of what He would do one day. Their sacrifices could not "put away sin" but they did look forward to the one that would. The sacrifice of Himself. "Oh, precious is the flow. That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, Nothing but the blood of Jesus."
