No. I disagree. Jesus was a prophet and messenger of peace. He was divine in nature, but he was not the Son of God or the Messiah That is as it is taught in the Unitarian-Universalist church. Some view Him as human. He was both human and divine. He sacrificed himself and in Isaiah it states that He will come. The Jewish faith has different beliefs regarding the nature of the Messiah.

1 John 5:6 says, "This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood." When the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, a soldier put a spear in His side, "and forthwith came there out blood and water" (John 19:34). This is the eternal work of the Savior, that we are saved by blood and sanctified by water.
The tabernacle is an Old Testament picture of Christ. When you entered, you came first to the brazen altar upon which the bloody sacrifice was made. Next was a laver, or great basin, in which the priests would wash. First the blood, then the water. The blood of Jesus Christ pays the price for our sins, and the sanctifying water keeps us clean.

Yes, that is the reason Jesus came to this earth. He told His followers that He wasn't here to contradict the law, but to fulfill the law. He was perfect and blameless, and He volunteered to be killed by human hands. He died, and then He physically came back to life in His broken body. So now He's in heaven, sitting with the Father. In that sense, He lives in an eternal state of sacrifice, and He intercedes for us. That's why Christians believe temporary animal sacrifices are no longer necessary.

The atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross was prefigured by the old testament sacrificial rites.
