    Yeah, the “sacrifice Jesus made.” I think the Romans had something to do with that. Maybe we should be thanking them for killing Jesus to save us from our sins.

      According to the Bible, as the son of God, Jesus could have stopped the crucifixion from moving forward at any time. He allowed himself to be crucified as one final blood sacrifice offering to God. That’s why Christians don’t sacrifice animals on the altar anymore, the way that the Hebrews did, because it is no longer necessary thanks to Jesus’ sacrifice.
