Whoa, wait a minute! Don't sacrifices die? Isn't that the point? I mean, there's nothing left. Paul's instructions sound suspiciously close to what Jesus meant when He said to take up your cross daily.

Romans 12:1 (CSB) Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.
