Q & R: Sacrifice for our Sins?
Here's the Q:
On July 10, Richard Rohr’s daily meditation featured and excerpt from your book The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World’s Largest Religion Is Seeking a Better Way to Be Christian. I was intrigued by the information regarding Hosea, Isaiah, David and Jesus’ stance that God does not desire sacrifice. The scriptures quoted are not new to me, but within the context of the excerpt the paradox struck me of sacrifice being displeasing to God yet, according to many and the denomination that I have grown up with and still attend, Jesus was God’s sacrificial lamb to save us from our sin. How would you speak/reconcile this?If you have addressed this further in the book or in any other material, please provide that information.I have been wrestling with this area for some time now as my faith journey deepens. To accept Jesus as coming to this world to die for our sins seems like a very ego based response from us. There has to be more to the story. I would love to hear your thoughts.
