For YourWeekly Journey

Weekly Reflection on the Sovereign Love of God The essence of sacrifice lies in the self-surrendering death of the victim. Jesus voluntarily surrendered himself for the sins of the world. His blood was “poured out for many” (Mark 14:24). The blood of Christ signified his life offered to God on behalf of others.
