| 0:00.0 | We don't repeat animal sacrifices in the Christian church today because everything that the animal sacrifice pointed to was fulfilled in the perfect sacrifice of Jesus. |
| 0:12.6 | And Jesus not only was the subject who offered the perfect sacrifice, but he was the object of his own sacrifice because he was sacrificing himself. |
| 0:31.0 | We often speak of Jesus, using the words of John the Baptist, as the Lamb of God who takes away |
