Psalms 40:6-8. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Then said, I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
Now we get the words of Christ undoubtedly. Our Lord said these words and therefore he came to fulfill the Father’s will and present on our behalf an acceptable sacrifice, with blood better than that of bulls or of goats. You and I have to say this in a very humble measure. We do not bring to God now any sacrifice of bulls or goats but we do bring our whole heart to him, trusting to be accepted, for he has written on those heart his own law, and it is our delight now to do the will of God. This it the kind of sacrifice that God accepts; true, fervent, obedient hearts. God grant us always to present it.
