Story Time 

The people of God offered many sacrifices such as: 

1. a) A sin offering 
2. b) A sacrifice of peace offering - They ate of it and it refers to receiving the Holy Communion. 
3. c) The burnt offering 

The sacrifices were continually offered so that the Lord's anger might be raised. Why did the Lord forgive them after they offered their sacrifices? 

We all know that Adam sinned and was driven out of paradise and no longer dwelt with God. The Lord loved Adam and Eve in spite of their sins, but the Lord hates sin. He wanted to punish Adam because the wages of sin is death. If you eat, you shall die. Was it possible that Adam would die for his sins and rise again? This is impossible as he who dies in sin goes to Hades. 

What would the Lord do? The Lord, because of His love for us, arranged an incarnation, to take out flesh and be like us in everything except sin and die to save us. 

But when the Righteous Christ died, did He go to Hades as the sinners? No, then He can rise and raise us with Him. Thus Christ died for us and gave us the eternal and everlasting life. When can this be? When we repent and worship Him all the time.
