===Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice===

The ultimate human blood sacrifice of [[atonement]] and [[worship]] of God is fully realized in [[Jesus Christ]], proclaimed by [[Christianity]] as the new [[Adam]]<ref>Romans 5:14; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22</ref>, head and representative before God of the whole human race, the One proclaimed beforehand by the prophets of Israel and appointed by God as High Priest according to the order or pattern of [[Melchizedek]]<ref>Hebrews 5:1-10</ref>, in his submitting to the agonizing passion and death on a cross for the redemption of sin in obediently offering Himself in total self-renunciation as the sacrificial victim in reparation to God the Father "''from the foundation of the world''"<ref>1 Peter 1:18-21; Hebrews 1:3; 10:11-12; Colossians 2:9-</ref>, a whole sacrifice infinitely surpassing in value all other sacrifices that have been and ever could be made. Christ, fully God and fully man, makes all other blood sacrifices of atonement in ritual worship of God unnecessary, as being totally and finally fulfilled, completely and forever, in himself. He has made full and abundant, infinite satisfaction for all the outrages ever made against the majesty and goodness of God. He became "a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people." He is loving and compassionate toward all<ref>Hebrews 2:17b; Matthew 11:27-29</ref>.
