“Significantly, now as Israel was on the threshold of the Promised Land, they needed to be reminded of the essential place of sacrifice. Promised Land people know they need an atoning sacrifice and they remember it often.
For Israel to obey what God commanded in Numbers 28 and 29, it meant that every year, the priests sacrificed on 1,086 lambs, 113 bulls, 32 rams, more than a ton of flour, and some 1,000 bottles of oil and wine on behalf of the nation.” (Guzik)
The lamb was the most prominent sacrificial animal and “in the days of Jesus there is a record of 255,600 Passover lambs being sacrificed at one Passover just by individuals and households.” (Guzik)
Animal sacrifice only covered sin and was a prophetic reference to the perfect sacrifice that removes sin, Jesus!
Lamb of God!
John 1: 29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
1 Corinthians 5: 7Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
Have you accepted Jesus as the lamb of God?
Blessings
