The Sacrifice of God's Son

Heb.10:4
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Heb.10:9-14

9 then he added, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 
10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 
11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 
12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 
13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 
14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

Heb.10:16-18

16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds," 
17 then he adds, "I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more." 
18 Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

Heb.10:19-23

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 
20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh
21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 
22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

Jesus said, 'Behold, I have come to do Your will". Knowing He was headed to the cross, knowing the separation He was to suffer from the Father as He was covered with our sin, but still, He came! Blameless He came to take our place, what a Savior! How can you ignore such a salvation?
Father, open hearts to this salvation! Amen
