Was Jesus Christ's Body Broken? (Part Three)

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

Why Was Jesus Not Crucified as Passover Began? (Part One)

'Ready Answer' by David C. Grabbe

Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb (I Corinthians 5:7), and His one death fulfilled every sacrificial requirement, including those of the Passover, Day of Atonement, holy days, Sabbath, and New Moon.

Seeking God's Will (Part Four): Sacrifice

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Jesus Christ's sacrifice is infinitely greater and more efficacious than any human sacrifice, because sacrifice is freely giving up something for another's benefit, and He gave His life.
