No more sacrifice ( John 20 v 30 )

In Numbers 5 v 5 - 8, we have intentional sins mentioned, and in 15 v 22 ff we have those who sin unintentionally ,sin whither it is intentional or unintentional is sin.The law does not make exceptions,yes there are no exceptions to the rule,each country has laws ,take the law of speeding,even if I break the speed limit unintentionally,I have broke the law,the same applies to Gods law.Many people are doing things that society says is ok, but God says it is a sin,we have broke His Law, and will be held accountable, one day  judgement will be passed by Him who is the righteous Judge even Jesus ( John 5 v 22 ).In Numbers sacrifice of an animal had to be made,for both types of sin in order that the sin could be forgiven, the animal sacrifice pointed to a human sacrifice, to Jesus,who would pay the price for our sins.The animal sacrifice was temporary, it could not effectively deal with sin ,the fact that it was repeated again and again shows this.We read what God provided,He declared ,''Sacrifice and offerings you did not desire,but a body you prepared for me,with burnt offerings and sin offerings, you were not pleased.Then I said, Here I am - it is written about me ,in the scroll- I have come to do Thy will''.  ( Psalm 40 v  6 -8 / Hebrews 10 v 5 - 7 ) This is speaking of Jesus the one who would effectively deal with the sin of those who trust Him as their Saviour.
