How do we know Jesus Christ is the ultimate sacrifice demanded by God?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice as He embodies the characteristics of preciousness, willingness, and purity required by God.

Hebrews 11 connects the story of Jephthah with the sacrificial system and points to Christ through its typology. Jephthah's daughter's willing acceptance of her father's vow parallels Jesus' submission to the Father's will. Jesus is described as the 'Lamb of God,' without blemish or defect, fulfilling the demand for purity in sacrifice. The New Testament affirms that Jesus is indeed the fulfillment of all sacrificial requirements, as seen in His prayer at Gethsemane, where He submits to the will of the Father despite personal anguish. In this way, Jesus perfectly mirrors the characteristics of the sacrifice that God demands, making Him the definitive and ultimate sacrifice for His people.
