Have You Considered Old Testament Sacrifices?
/Do you think it’s important for Christians to study and understand the Old Testament sacrifices? If you’re like many believers, chances are you either dismiss thinking about the Israelites’ sacrificial offerings at all – or you dismiss their relevance to us living on this side of the Cross.
But considering the sacrificial system before Jesus became the once-and–for-all sacrifice is extremely important to those who long to go deeper with God.
Drawing from a personal analogy, I think of it this way. Reflecting on my parents’ propensities toward high cholesterol and blood pressure as they aged helps me to understand my own journey towards such. I enjoy and appreciate a healthy lifestyle because I continually make good diet and exercise choices, knowing I have the genetic tendency for those numbers to climb high.
So, the same thing rings true in my spiritual journey. By considering the sacrifices that God required in His covenant with Israel, I become familiar with the “spiritual mechanics” of God accepting and cleansing His children through those sacrifices.
Have YOU as a believer in Christ, given thought to those first sacrifices?
Do you understand that the striking feature of many of those ancient ceremonies was the use of blood?
Would you like to understand the link between the death of Jesus and all those sacrifices that happened before His death, burial, and resurrection?
Would you like to thank Him more deeply for what He did for you on the cross?
