[size=x-large]The Continual Burnt Offering[/size]
Exodus 29:38, 39 "Now this is what you shall offer on the altar: two lambs of the first year, day by day continually. One lamb in the morning, and the other lamb at twilight"
The daily offering of lambs, the "continual burnt offering" (vs. 42), was to teach the people their constant need of God and their dependence on Him for forgiveness and acceptance. The fire on the altar was to be kept burning day and night, as shown in Lev. 6:8-13. This fire could serve as a perpetual reminder of their need of a Savior.
God never intended the daily offering of a lamb to be simply a ritual or routine act. It was to be a time of "intense interest to the worshipers", a time of preparation for worship, in silent prayer and "with earnest heart searching and confession of sin." Their faith was to grasp the promises of a Savior to come, the true Lamb of God who would spill His blood for the sins of the whole world.
How do the following texts link the death of Christ to animal sacrifices in the Old Testament system? Heb. 10:1-4; 1 Pet. 1:18, 19.
