4 Don’t be weary of repetition..
Isa 1:10-15
"I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs or goats.
12 "When you come to appear before Me, Who has required this from your hand, To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

Sacrifices instruct us..
When someone sins, something has to die
All their sacrifices could not do what Jesus’ one sacrifice has accomplished
God requires specific obedience by faith
Constant repetition means we must be careful not to lose appreciation
