Can sacrifice save? I don’t think so, however, if sacrifice can save therefore, then what kind of sacrifice can save? It is in this light that I would want to take our mind back to the Garden of Eden, on the day that Adam and Eve sinned. God made a promise that the seed of the woman would crush the head of Satan.
This promise pointed to the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary for our salvation from sin which is associated with evil and Satan the devil and from the wrath of God. At God’s appointed time, God sent His Son Jesus Christ to fulfill this promise (Galatians 4:4).
On the God Friday, Jesus paid the price of sin for us. It was a humiliating and horrible experience and death. Remember in the Bible Scripture, ”He was…… rejected by men, a man of sorrows….. He was despised….. He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows…… He was stricken by God, smitten by Him and afflicted ……. He was crushed for our iniquities. This punishment that brought us peace was upon Him” (Isaiah 53:1-3).
Thus in the end, H appeased God, and cancelled our certificate of death. It is in this light therefore, that I will admonish you to ask Jesus Christ to come into your life now. He came from Heaven, suffered and died for you.
