PIDGIN THE PERFECT SACRIFICE
John 1:29 “'Wen day break, John si Jesus dey waka kom meet am, den John sey, “Make una look! Dis na di Sheep wey God send kom die, so dat God go forgive us awa sins.”
Jesus Christ na the perfect
sacrifice! Wetin e really cost us to free from guilt, shame and death? Wetin
free us from the bondage of sin? No be silver, no be gold, or any other thing
wey fit spoil. The price for our freedom na something wey pass gold and silver
- na the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Blind no fit lead blind. For
John 5:1-17, we see as e be when person dey depend on another person wey dey
suffer the same wahala or even worse - dem no fit save or deliver anybody. Na
why we need person wey no dey our level, person wey better pass us. Sinner no
fit save sinner.
For Old Testament, dem dey
use animal sacrifice - lamb wey no get any wahala - to take cover sin. But that
one na something wey dem dey do every time, e no dey last, e no be
once-and-for-all. That sacrifice no perfect!
But Jesus Christ come be the
perfect Lamb, the perfect sacrifice. Na so e fit be the perfect Saviour. 1
Peter 2:22 talk say Jesus no get sin at all, so na only Him fit save, deliver
and redeem us. Jesus die as our Passover Lamb, exactly on Passover day, the
same time dem dey kill the lamb. Dem bury am during the Feast of Unleavened
Bread, wey show say e body no get sin, and e rise on the Feast of First Fruits.
Na only God fit arrange this kind perfect timing as e dey for prophecy.
Jesus, through im sacrifice,
fulfil the meaning of the Passover Lamb. But why na only Jesus fit do this
“perfect sacrifice”? Because na God choose am. Acts 4:12 talk say salvation no
dey anywhere else, na only Jesus we fit get am. If sacrifice for sin go happen,
na Jesus gats do am. Hebrews 10:5-7 talk say Jesus know say na Him gats do God
will: “Sacrifice and offering you no want, but you prepare body for me… I come
to do your will, O God.”
Jesus gree give Himself as
sacrifice, e show say all those animal sacrifice no reach. Na Jesus complete
God will for our redemption, e clear all our sins as the perfect sacrifice.
Romans 3:25 talk say God
bring Jesus as sacrifice for our sin, through im blood. Hebrews 12:24 talk say
Jesus blood dey speak better thing pass animal blood. God do am to show say e
dey righteous.
Leviticus 17:11 talk say
life dey inside blood, na why God use am for atonement. Animal blood dey cover
sin, but Jesus blood wash us clean forever.
Jesus do am for cross. God
prepare body for am, to live righteous life wey no get sin - na wetin God
really want! Na that kind body Jesus get.
And with three words, Jesus
finish am: “It is finished!” Jesus really do and finish wetin God want - to be
the “perfect sacrifice for sin.”
PRAYER: Papa God, I thank
you say you prepare Jesus body as the perfect sacrifice for my sin, redemption
and salvation. In Jesus name, amen.
