Sacrifice

Sacrifice

Sacrifice is found in the OT in 182 verses.

Sacrifice in the Hebrew is; H2076 זָבַח A primitive root; to slaughter an animal (usually in sacrifice): – kill, offer, (do) sacrifice, slay.

Exo 5:17  But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD. 

Sacrifice for forgiveness. A worldly way. Old Testament burnt offerings for forgiveness.

Sacrifice in the New Testament is in 23 verses.

Sacrifice in the Greek is; G2378 θυσία From G2380; sacrifice (the act or the victim, literally or figuratively): – sacrifice.

Jesus mentions sacrifice in only 3 verses in the New Testament. Burnt offerings are comparative to Jesus. Jesus now being the sacrificial lamb, the victim from acts.

Mat 9:13  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 

Mat 12:7  But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

Mercy over ritual sacrifice. Jesus being the sacrifice for sinners. Jesus did not condemn anyone. Jesus being God in the flesh, (big G), and humankind condemning because he is a god. (a little g) If Jesus didn’t condemn, and He is God in the flesh, why would the thinking be that God in heaven condemns? Note; There is only ONE God.

Luke 15:7  I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Compassionate actions and avoidance of repetitive evils. Repetitive evils are no more then lip service. Progressively working towards goodnesses and avoidance of those iniquities. Less judgement, less self-centering ego. Simple understanding living from love being life, through experiences, growing deeper into that love.

Implement to action, do like Jesus does. The “what would Jesus do” is no more then smoke rising up to the sky. You know Jesus by simply searching the truth from your heart and soul. Live by growing towards that balance of your heavens in your life, out-weighting your hells. Living life by the souls choice. Choosing is a personal choice and hells is brought upon one’s own self.

Mark 9:49  For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 

The spiritual offerings of Jesus by way of the cross. The end being one of refinement, strengthening by spiritual fire, and the salt being purification and preservation. Spiritual offerings by the act of faith if there is true repentance and not being one of repetitive negative actions.

Another words…..Quit hanging Jesus on the cross over and over again because you can.

The salt of the soul being genuine and pure in heart.
