Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Hebrews 10

As Paul teaches the difference between the Old Testament or covenant and the New Testament or covenant, and the difference between the sacrifice of animals and the sacrifice and atonement of Jesus Christ, he mentioned a little thought that touched me -

"Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law..."  (Hebrews 10:8)

Which suggests to me the our Father in Heaven does not find pleasure in the sacrifice of animals, but does rejoice in obedience looking forward to the Infinite Atonement.
