The law of the Old Testament in the Bible showed Isreal that the Messiah was going to the fulfillment of the law.
The Jews sacrificed animals as a credit card for their sins. They still had a sin debt. We have a sin debt as non-Jews. Everyone needs Jesus to forgive us for our iniquities.
The cure for sin is Jesus and we need accept Jesus. The animal was just medicine, and the Jews needed to take medicine every year.
Jesus is the second person of the Trinity and he came to this world. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross. He arose from the dead so we can be forever clean before the Lord.
Have you received this in your heart and life?
Hebrews 10:1-7
The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. 2 Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. 3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”
but a body you prepared for me;
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”
