Did the Lamb escape your notice?

>>Did the Lamb escape your notice?<<

Oh no Arthur.

Revelation 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals." 6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders.

John tells us in the first chapter of Revelation.

Revelation 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

Take Him down off that cross Arthur. Stop with the sacrifices already. Celebrate the one who conquered death and hell who now reigns on high. The Lion of Judah who "has triumphed. The King of Kings! Jesus told John to "“Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. John saw no "re-offering" or constant submission of Christ's body and blood. That had already been done and at that time Jesus "was alive for ever and ever"!

We aren't told to offer a sacrifice of blood. We are told to offer the sacrifice of praise.

Hebrews 13:15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

No need to sacrifice daily.

Hebrews 7:27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.

Catholic priests are the weak ones.

Hebrews 7:28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

Join us who celebrate a risen conquering King and have our High Priest who sits "at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,"

Hebrews 8:1 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

Catholics need to leave those weak priests who offer blood sacrifices daily. Stop with those daily sacrifices and give the sacrifice of praise. No more blood sacrifices but living sacrifices which are pleasing to God.

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship.
