Does Christ Offer Himself As A Sacrifice For Our Sins Every Day?



        The Scriptures are emphatic that Jesus Christ does not Offer Himself daily and His sacrifice is not continuing:

        "who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself." (Hebrews 7:27)

        "nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." (Hebrews 9:25-26)

        The work of Christ accomplished on the cross at Calvary is sufficient to satisfy our debt of sin:

        "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace." (Ephesians 1:7)

        Roman Catholic apologists are adamant that Christ does not get put to death at each Mass. But how can there be no death of a victim who is offered up in a sacrifice? This no doubt constitutes a dilemma for the Roman Catholic position:

        "and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades." (Revelation 1:18)

        It is an insult for us to present on a continual basis Christ who has forever conquered death as being in that same state.
