I think the last time this was done a few weeks ago I speculated that Christ/God the Son lost His place of deity in the God head. That is until I found a verse that said Christ was/is the same yesterday today and tomorrow...
Then the common every day explanation hit me. It wasn't that Christ has to loose anything to sacrifice Himself. Christ Sacrificed Himself/Died so you did not have to. Meaning Christ died in your place.
That was the sacrifice. It is the same with what was being done with the animals in the OT. The Animals were dying so people did not have to die (for 'small' sins.)
Our sins= Death. This means that if a sin is committed then someone has to die for that sin in God's economy. What better sacrifice for sin than someone who can Die once and come back from death, absolving all who want their sins forgiven.
