Obedience to God's will and a humble heart are what God desires over sacrifices. Jesus' sacrifice was according to God's will. Jesus was willing to sacrifice Himself as a perfect sacrifice. With His sacrifice, there is now no need for the continuance of the animal sacrifices from before. This sacrifice was made on our behalf and removed our sins and enables us to stand clean/acceptable before God.
The Levitical priests continued to offer sacrifices but for no reason except to remind the people of sin and the punishment for it. Jesus, however, as a perfect sacrifice, and according to God's will, offered a final sacrifice and is now seated with God in a position of honor and authority. No other sacrifice remains. Jesus, as our High Priest, presents us before God.
A new covenant (better promise) with intimate knowledge of Him and His will. We are now able to go to Him directly. We are now serving God as priests offering ourselves as sacrifices that are acceptable to God. We do this by offering our praise, thanksgiving, service and prayers to God through Christ our Lord!
As followers of Christ, we receive full forgiveness of our sins because of His sacrifice. Since sin is removed through Him, and only through Him, no other sacrifice is acceptable or needed. This forgiveness allows us to stand before God continuously cleansed of our sins (I John 1:5-10).
