Hebrews 9

As I was reading this chapter I couldn't help but think about how hard it must have been for the people in Moses time to follow all of the laws God put before them. There were so many specific actions they needed to take before worshipping, so many rules and regulations. It's no wonder they had trouble following all those rules. How would we do if we had to do the same?

Luckily we have Jesus and his sacrifice so we do not have all the rituals of Moses' time. I know the word they used in the Bible was 'necessary', but maybe it wasn't so much necessary, for Jesus to be sacrificed, as it was a gift to us. God knows us and he knows how hard it was for the people to follow all of his rules. So he made it easier for us to worship him and to follow him. ????

I know that I am thankful for Jesus' sacrifice. Without that where would we all be?
