Every Old Testament book point toward the Great Sacrifice that was to come.
Jesus’ sacrificial giving of His own life/blood on every believer's behalf.
Lev 17:11 is the Old Testament’s central statement about the significance of blood in the sacrificial system. God, speaking to Moses, declares: “For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life.”
Heb 9:11-18 confirms the symbolism of blood as life & applies Lev 17:11 to the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 12 states clearly that the Old Testament blood sacrifices were temporary and only atoned for sin partially & for a short time, hence the need to repeat the sacrifices daily/yearly.
Matt 26: Jesus said, this is my "blood" of the "New Testament", which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (Also see Jn 6:56 & 19:34)
Act 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which Jesus hath purchased with his own blood.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Col 1:20: "and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross."
Heb 9:
14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Rev 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.
Post resurrection Christ entered the Most Holy Place (Heb 9:11-12). And offered His own sinless God blood once for all time (Heb 7:27; 10:10). Making future sacrifices unnecessary. This is what Jesus meant by His dying words on the cross: “It is finished” (Jn 19:30).
Never again would the blood of bulls and goats cleanse men from their sin. Only by accepting Jesus’ sinless God blood shed on the cross for the remission of sins, can we stand before God covered/clothed in the righteousness of Christ (2 Cor 5:21).
Jesus Paid for All Sins. You access His payment by faith (Rom 5:1-2). Confess he is Lord/God & died for your sins & believe in your heart He was resurrected (Rom 10:9). ASK HIM to place His guiding, salvation sealing, Holy Spirit (2 Cor 1:22, 2 Tim 1:14, 2 Cor 5:5) into your heart. Amen
