The eternal sacrifice, the blood of Christ
Hebrews 9:11-14
Leviticus begins with the ordinances of the five major sacrifices to be offered to the Lord. However, the beginning of this Leviticus was a natural consequence. This is because the main purpose of the built tabernacle (Exodus 40:17) was the sacrifice, so it is logical and logical that the rules for the sacrifice to be offered there are given now that the tabernacle is completed.
There were fire offerings, large offerings, wave offerings, and drink offerings, and the types of offerings were burnt offerings, sin offerings, trespass offerings, peace offerings, and grain offerings.
‘Shedding blood and sin’ are inextricably linked. Before Adam sinned in Eden, there was no such thing as death in the Garden of Eden. But when he sinned and became naked and his soul died, God slaughtered an animal to cover the shame of his sin, bled and made a garment with its skin, and sent him out of Eden. This symbolically showed that Jesus, the Lamb of God, would shed His blood and be put to death in order to wash away our sins and clothe us with the robe of righteousness. The Bible clearly states that “without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins.”
(Hebrews 9:13-14) “For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, how much more the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God. How can you not cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” Therefore, the blood of Jesus is the only way to lead us to God. There is no other way than the blood of Jesus. It is not human righteous deeds or good deeds, and we cannot come before God through human forms, rituals, and sacrifices.
(Hebrews 10:19-20) “Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way that he opened for us through the veil, which is his flesh.”
