Jesus Christ Our Complete Offering: How the Levitical Offerings Foreshadowed Christ - Paperback

by David D. Bergey (Author)

The sacrifices of the Old Testament were not merely obscure rites of some ancient Hebrew tribes. Rather, the offerings of the Law of Moses were designed by God to depict and teach about the coming Christ. They foreshadowed the greatest subject of all time: the redemption of humanity by the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. The crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth was far beyond a wretched martyr breathing his last breath. On that day at Golgotha, dying on the cross, Jesus Christ bore the sins of all humanity. As this 450 page book shows, the sacrifices instituted by Moses, by revelation from God, were a detailed system of interactive learning demonstrating how God would redeem humankind. These Levitical sacrifices could be called tutorials of redemption." By looking at the sacrifices of the Old Testament this simple message rings out: what he bore for me and what I shared with him. These studies of the Mosaic offerings are not presented as an end in themselves, but rather to see how they portray Christ and his redemptive work. The object of this book is not to become wrapped up in a study of the Old Testament sacrifices, but rather to become immersed in Christ and what he has accomplished for us.
