How often do you pray for opportunities to go and tell (to testify) family and friends about Jesus? How often do you pray for your non-Christian family and friends to trust the Lord Jesus?
Imagine regularly making three voluntary offerings and two mandatory offerings as an observant Jew. Imagine the financial cost, the animals that are slaughtered before your eyes, and the exhausting journey to the temple. That is the context of Jesus being the final and ultimate offering for our sin. How can we as non-Jews regularly remember and give thanks, outside of communion, for the sacrifice of Christ?
