In the Old Testament, priests had to slaughter perfect little lambs and cows all day long, just to appease God because of their sins. They could not come close to Him until their sins were covered by blood. Then came Jesus. He was a perfect Sacrifice who chose to die a bloody death on the cross so that we could come near God anytime we choose. We no longer have to spend our days butchering animals, all we have to do is open our mouths and hearts, and give Father God a Sacrifice of worship and praise, for allowing His Son to suffer such things for us. That brings His Presence when we continue with all our heart. It’s a small thing, and very easy compared with what the priests used to do. You see, Jesus gave it all for us, so we can choose to open our mouths and praise! There is much to be thankful for, forgiven sins, an inside-powered life, and HEAVEN to come!
