God did not make the infinite sacrifice of giving His only-begotten Son to our world, to secure for man the privilege of breaking the commandments of God in this life and in the future eternal life. The law of the ten commandments lives and will live through the eternal ages. Today he is deceiving human beings in regard to the law of God. Types and shadows, offerings and sacrifices, had no virtue after Christ’s death on the cross but God’s law was not crucified with Christ. This law is the expression of God’s character. The law of God will maintain its exalted character as long as the throne of Jehovah endures. The need for the service of sacrifices and offerings ceased when type met antitype in the death of Christ. Adam saw Christ prefigured in the innocent beast suffering the penalty of his transgression of Jehovah’s law. The whole arrangement of the typical system was founded on Christ.
The ceremonial law was glorious it was the provision made by Jesus Christ in counsel with His Father, to aid in the salvation of the race. The typical system of sacrifices and offerings was established that through these services the sinner might discern the great offering, Christ. The ceremonial law was to answer a particular purpose in Christ’s plan for the salvation of the race. God’s people, whom He calls His peculiar treasure, were privileged with a twofold system of law the moral and ceremonial.įrom the creation the moral law was an essential part of God’s divine plan, and was as unchangeable as Himself. 3:24-25).But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. And the Bible clearly informs us that God was satisfied with Christ's sacrifice because it was "a propitiation by his blood" (Rom. So, with his death on the cross, Jesus "secured eternal redemption" for us (Heb. And as John tells us, "But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water" (John 19:34). So, Jesus didn't have to bleed to death to be the antitype or fulfillment – he merely had to be slain and blood be spilt (cf. 10:3-4), whereas the sacrifice of Jesus literally took away the sins of his people (Matt. Indeed, those sacrifices were but an annual reminder of sins because "it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins" (Heb. 1:18-21) that takes away the sins of his people in the world (John 1:36 Rev.
53:7-9) "without blemish or defect" (1 Pet. For instance, Jesus isn't literally a lamb, but he is "like a lamb" (Isa. There is not always a literal one-to-one correspondence between types and antitypes. It's important to understand that animal sacrifices were but a type of Christ, while Jesus is the antitype or fulfillment. So, these animals sacrifices were a foreshadowing of the "once for all" sacrifice which Jesus himself would later offer upon his own cross (Heb. In the Old Covenant, a priest once a year was to make an offering of the blood of animals on the altar for the sins of the people. Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
