Everlasting Single Sacrifice for Sin

Mediator of the New Covenant

Hebrews 10:11-18 The Message 

11-18 Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem. As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God and waited for his enemies to cave in. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process. The Holy Spirit confirms this:
This new plan I’m making with Israel
    isn’t going to be written on paper,
    isn’t going to be chiseled in stone;
This time “I’m writing out the plan in them,
    carving it on the lining of their hearts.”
He concludes,
I’ll forever wipe the slate clean of their sins.
Once sins are taken care of for good, there’s no longer any need to offer sacrifices for them.

For Reflection

Know this. Believe this. Trust this. Act on this.

Your sins and iniquities are remembered no more. God is not an accountant in the sin office. There is no more offering to pardon sin. You can quit your feelings of guilt.  Christ's sacrifice has removed your guilt. You are free to choose not to sin. Guilt is not a stumbling block to a right relationship with God.

Pray

Pray prayers of thanksgiving to the living God who pardons your sin and wipes them from memory. Pray that you will follow the path of righteousness that Christ has shown you.
