Title: Old Testament Sacrifice and Christ (Leviticus 1)
Contents
The five major sacrifices in the Old Testament were the burnt offering, the grain offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.
There are four methods of offering: fire offerings, wave offerings (shake up, down, left and right), Heave-Offerings (raise up), drink-offerings, and (pour out, pour out).
Sacrifice is to resolve the severance caused by sin in order to restore the relationship between God and man. The reason that one sacrifice does not end is that man continues to sin, and thus distances himself from the holiness of God. The key to the ritual is to deal with blood. Except for the grain offering (a sacrifice to God), there is shedding of blood. It is said that blood is life. Blood with sacrifices must be handled with care. Because blood is life, and it foreshadows the blood of Jesus Christ. In other words, the sacrifice of the Old Testament was a sacrifice of forgiveness and reconciliation that temporarily took the place of Jesus Christ, so the blood that Jesus shed on the cross is the true blood of the forgiveness of sins.
“With the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot”
(1 Peter 1:19)
“Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood he made eternal redemption.
entered the sanctuary once for all” (Hebrews 9:12).
He said that the blood of Jesus Christ is the precious blood. By sprinkling and pouring out the blood of life, not just water, on the altar of the cross, He made our sins white and clothed us with righteousness. Therefore, the life of the saints is precious. And the vision of the saints is noble. The saints who have found new life through the blood of Christ from a fatal disease of the soul must now live the rest of their lives for Christ, preparing for the Lord's return.
