The Scandal of the Cross

 “but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

But you were redeemed with the priceless Blood of Christ.  He is the ultimate Sacrifice; and without blemish.  Jesus completes the prophetic picture!  In Christ, God speaks the most radical scapegoat language of the law of judgment and brings final closure to a dead and redundant system!  God in the Psalms clearly stated that He does not require sacrifices or offerings! Jesus is the Lamb of God!  He is victorious over the futile and constant sacrificial system made to the pseudo, moody, monster gods of our imagination!  This is the scandal of the Cross! God does not demand a sacrifice that would change the way He thinks about mankind; He provides the Sacrifice Himself in Christ, in order to forever eradicate sin-consciousness from our minds and radically change the way we think about our Maker, one another and ourselves!  Thank You Jesus for sacrificing Yourself for me.  Amen!
