That is correct. The demand was fulfilled. The system which expressed that demand in the keeping of ceremonial laws was abolished.

Careful not to make a non-sequitor there, though. It is true that the lamb, Christ, is not slaughtered over and over again; but neither does it exist merely in the past. The sacrifice is eternal, or, "outside time." Our obligation to participate in the sacrifice is not removed, but rather it is transformed from an occasional observance to an eternal observance.
We have lost the meaning of "to remember," substituting it as a synonym for "to recall." When one remembers, one does not remember something which is gone, but rather one becomes mindful of something. One RECALLS making an appointment, but one REMEMBERS the appointment itself. Hence, when Jesus commands, "Do this is remembrance of me," he does not mean to re-enact an event of the past, but to become deeper once more part of Himself.
Hence, Christians did not avoid sacrifice, but recognize that they were committed to obey the command given through St. Paul that we must "take up my cross and follow [Jesus]."
