That quote is probably the best example of what I've said ^^. Blood sacrifice was the proscribed atonement for sin by the Hebrew god in the Old Testament. In the passage that you quoted, he is saying that atonement for all sin is achieved through his coming death.
The law demanded blood sacrifice for atonement of sin, a benevolent god sent his son in human form as sacrifice for global atonement, fulfilling the requirement of the law. That is central idea of Christianity: All people have done wrong and will go to hell, but for the sacrifice of a benevolent creator.
