Because. What God wanted, that the sacrifices of the Law could not do, was to make men clean from their sin. Notice that the sacrifices were not to appease an angry God, but to change estranged children! Because Jesus did what God wanted him to do (fulfill the will of God), we (who are Christians) are all made clean from sin. By the offering. Some Jews had said that Christianity had no offerings for sin, but that the Law did. Jesus Christ made the offering of his own crucified body in heaven itself. This is so perfect and complete that it had only to be done ONCE!!! We who are made clean from sin by Christ on the cross (1 Corinthians 1:23 and notes) are made friends of God (2 Corinthians 5:18-19) who are able to worship Him here and now, and enter the Eternal World later.
