Summary/Abstract: I tried in the present study to analyze various sacrificial practices of ancient cultures. One of the components that sacrifi ce is expiatory sacrifi ce. The slaughtered animal replace the sacrifi cer before God, but unfortunately this process must be always repeat. The sacrifi ce of Christ did not be required the other sacrifi ce, because it was God’s sacrifi ce for God. All mankind is refl ected in Christ’s sacrifi ce, which made once for all. Moreover, his sacrifi ce reverberates over creation power of divine grace, which is soteriological force to paradisiacal status.
