Bob Christopher, Richard Peifer

"Through him let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise." That is the only sacrifice we can truly make in this New Covenant. Genuine thankfulness flows from contentment and real contentment is found in Christ. One aspect of contentment is the word "telos". We find it first in Matthew 5:48 "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." When we read Hebrews 10 you read about being made perfect. We've been delivered to the end goal and can experience contentment in Christ.
