A Body Prepared

Hebrews 10:5 KJV
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

Hebrews 10:10 KJV
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
There is, in the Lord, displeasure in the sacrifice of animals and the offering of rituals. These things can never take away sin and these things proved themselves to be ineffective in turning souls to the Lord.

God is not anxious to see another animal lose its life or the sake of a sin-filled human being.
God is not interested in the bloodshed of bulls and goats.

This one offering is both pleasing to the Lord and effective in taking away our sins. That is the body of Jesus Christ, prepared for Him of His heavenly Father

A literal body
A human body
A mortal body


And having that body; Jesus willingly sacrificed it once for all. There is now no need for the further shedding of blood. The offering of Christ's body pleased the Father's righteous demands against sin and exhausted His wrath toward it.
