LW Baptist
The Bible says that ancient Israel’s sacrifices were God’s appointed means for his people to come to him. That is why the Gospel appears in the history of Israel’s offerings, which is the Sunday worship theme.
People understood that the wages of sin is death, and that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. God graciously provided a substitute for the sinner, and an innocent lamb represented God’s provision for atonement on the altar morning and evening for 1,500 years until Jesus, God’s perfect and final sacrifice, came. John the Baptist, pointing at Jesus, announced, “Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” On the cross Jesus cried out, “it is finished.”
By one sacrifice, Jesus has made perfect forever those who put their trust in him, as all the prophets testify.
