Sacrifice in terms of the medieval practice of dying for a friend or loved one in order that the sins of those loved ones be forgiven is wrong. The Will of God cannot be bargained with or influenced by such deeds. It is even blasphemous to think and act in such a manner. The Sacrifice of Christ in sealing His Word with His Blood deserves special mention.
