“Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them: If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.”
Leviticus 4:2-3 KJV
Under the old covenant, everyone had to compulsorily bring sin offerings for their atonement, it was the only way they could escape God’s righteous judgment. This is a picture of the final sin offering, our Lord Jesus. Our God understands that no good thing dwells in the flesh, and every inclination of man’s heart is evil. That’s why Jesus became our all-sufficient Offering, and we are made righteous and acceptable to God. Now Jesus is our High Priest Who sympathises with our weaknesses, having been tempted on all points, yet without sin. We are justified freely by Jesus’s grace and redemption because we are in Christ. Thank You, Jesus!
