DESTINY OF THE LAMB SACRIFICED

         "Present your bodies...your reasonable service" (Rom 12:1)                                                Edward Proffitt, Th. D.                                      

​

Sin is a carrier to fathomless chasms. To talk lightly of sin gets the sinner obscurity to walk an unlighted path. Unforgivable sin produces breakdown of life; it generates corruption, crime and pollution, Death (in unforgiving sin), does not bring forgiveness, it only brings about the "resurrection of damnation" (John 5:29. All sin ultimately reaches high peaks, ask the alcoholic, drug addict, compulsive gambler, or the thief. Yet no matter what peak, forgiveness is possible this side of the grave.

​

Paul the Apostle was guilty of blaspheme. He testified "I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor and injurious person, but obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 13-14).

​

Paul a blasphemer, yet he was forgiven. The thief on the cross (justly there) looked to the dying saviour on the middle cross and herd Jesus say "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43).

​

 The Gospel is a  "WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED" (Acts 2:21), but there is a duration time frame. The Hebrew writer speaks of it as "wilful sin", for if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remainest no more sacrifices for sins" (Hebrews 10:26).  

​

The Priest of the temple continued the practice of daily offering of sacrifices for trans-creations after Calvary and the resurrection. Jesus had put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself, "every priest standeth daily ministering and offering often times the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins" (Hebrew 10:11).

​​

Reform, psychiatric analysis and church rituals can never remove sin, cleansing is not in the cup, church membership, promise to do better, generous gifts. God never intended another lamb to be slain on Jewish altars. Jesus Christ said; "it is finished"" (John 19:30). One last sacrifice fulfilled all previous promises. Those who reject Calvary are without atonement. There is only one sacrifice for sin. Those who reject Calvary must face their decision, for there remains "no more sacrifice for sins" (Hebrew 10:26).
