Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have opened; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.” (Psalm 40:6)
Wotsup
Remember,God never required the cross
we did
It wasnt God who required the death of Jesus
It was mans evil heart
‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice’” matthew 9.13
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law
Heb 10.8
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts
Isiah 55.8-9
I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do
John 17.4
This is before the cross,talking about what God wanted
After the cross
What man wanted
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
john 19.30
Old covenant thinking vs new covenant thinking
What Man required and believed about God=what you just expressed,old covenant thinking
vs
What God actually wanted,new covenant thinking,sacrifice thou did not want,but a body thou hast prepared me
Christ revealed what God was like by the blood of his life
He wasnt a killer,he didnt judge etc etc he revealed that God is love
All the other things are mans thoughts about God
Jesus came to correct mans misconceptions of what God required and what God is like
