Jesus is "...the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Revelation 3:8
Jesus is what the whole sacrificial system was all about. What He did for us on the cross and what He is doing for us now is all in this system. That's what makes understanding this system so important. *

"The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." 1 John 1:7 "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:14, 15 "Jesus died as a sacrifice for man because the fallen race can do nothing to recommend themselves to God. The merits of a crucified and risen Savior are the foundation of the Christian's faith." The Great Controversy, page 73 |
* Please, take the time to study this whole sacrificial system very closely. Go back to the spot on the timeline where Moses built the first Sanctuary, follow the links and study what each item tells us about Jesus and His ministry for us.
