Having lived in Wyoming for 6 years, I have soaked up everything I could about ranching life. People who live "close to the earth" as ranchers do understand the concept of animal sacrifice. To them, it is a necessary part of life to raise beef or sheep and then to bring them to slaughter, for their income and for their sustenance. Most of us today are out of touch with these baser sides of life. We, many times, don't want to know about where our food comes from. Over the years, we have been "protected" or sanitized from the truth of our lives, and it is the same with our Lord. We sometimes get calloused or wash over the real life details of what Jesus Christ did for us as our sacrifice for sin.
