Leviticus 1 verse 5
And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. Leviticus 1v5. So here we see that the offering was killed before the Lord and the blood sprinkled about upon the altar. The Lord Jesus Christ, when He was offered up on the cross, was offered up to His heavenly Father as a perfect sacrifice. Isaiah 53 v 10 says, 'Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin'. As well as being offered up to the Lord, His precious blood actually purified 'heavenly things' as Hebrew chapter 9 vs 22 - 24 says: '[It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.' Praise God that 'by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.' Hebrew 10 v 14. Next time we look at this chapter we shall be looking at how the sacrifice in Leviticus speaks to us about the sufferings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Bye for now.
