Why? For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. However, when He comes into the world -- when God as a Son comes into the world -- He said, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared for Me." (Hebrews 10:5) So in fact, God did not have a body (nor did He desire a body) He had a body prepared for Himself nevertheless.
"Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, "Sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not, but a body hast Thou prepared me. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin, Thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, "Lo, I come [in the volume of the book it is written of Me] to do Thy will, O God. 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 10:5-8)
When the Spirit referred here to sacrifice and burnt offerings and offerings for sin and stated "I do not desire, neither have I had any pleasure therein" - which things are offered by the law - I now say, "Lo, I come [as a Son] to do Your will, O God. This is the turning point! This is the point that matters most.
He - God is taking away the first covenant of law so that He - God - may establish the second testament. Read this line again. He - God is taking away the first Law covenant so that He - God - may establish a second testament. Therefore, by the will of God we are now sanctified through the sacrificial offering of the body of JESUS the Christ (humanity) once and for all.
"Then said He, "Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second, by the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."
Still, in spite of a personally delivered message to all of humanity that brought to us the gift of salvation, the religious community of this day, both priests and ministers stand offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away the people's sins. Hebrews 10:11 states: "And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can NEVER take away sins:" (Hebrews 10:11)
But thankfully, we know the One who can. Reading on ... this man, JESUS the Christ after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, SAT DOWN (the sacrifice now complete) on the right hand of God.
"But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;, from henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool. For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us for after that He had said before -- "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," saith the Lord, "I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." (Hebrews 10:12-17; Jeremiah 31:33-34)
In other words, now where remission of sin is, there is no more offering for sin. Why? Because God Himself took away the first covenant of law so that He could establish a second testament of grace. What does this mean?
"Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin --- having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh -- and having an high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." (Hebrews 10:18-22)
So, let us -- one and all -- "hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;) and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins," (Hebrews 10:23-26)
Therefore brethren, with boldness enter into the holiest of holies by the blood of JESUS the Christ which was the very blood of the Holy Spirit of God. This is the new and living way -- the new testament, which God in Christ has consecrated for us, through the veil (i.e. curtain) which was a representative of the veil - the curtain of JESUS flesh!
As a consequence, we have one High Priest over the house of God. His name is JESUS. The only name given to men whereby we shall be saved. Believe on Jesus today. Draw near with a true heart in full ASSURANCE of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. "For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second." (Hebrews 8:7)
JESUS - GOD MANIFEST IN THE FLESH SACRIFICED HIMSELF ONCE AND FOR ALL FOR YOU AND I. As such, there is no such teaching in the Biblical scriptures called transubstantiation. JESUS OFFERED HIMSELF ONCE -- IT IS FINISHED!
Let those who have ears to hear, hear. Stand in the offering plate with Jesus.
