Sunday: Since Jesus came we don’t have to make animal sacrifices at the Temple to earn our salvation. Now it’s free! He made the sacrifice once for all time.
Shabbat: Doesn’t the Letter to the Hebrews say that the blood of bulls and goats never took away anyone’s sins and that Gideon and David and all the other ancient Israelites who lived before Jesus were saved only by faith in a future Messiah and not by animal sacrifices at all?
Sunday: What’s your point?
Shabbat: Exactly.
