One of the least popular areas of Bible study appears to be the Old Testament sacrificial system. For many Christians these passages seem alien at best and embarrassing at worst. Yet there are at least four reasons why we should study the Old Testament sacrificial system.
1. The Old Testament sacrificial system is part of the Bible.
2. The Old Testament sacrificial system provides insight into important theological concepts such as sin, sanctification, faith, forgiveness, imputation, restitution, restoration, etc.
3. The Old Testament sacrificial system sheds light on worship that is acceptable to God.
4. The Old Testament sacrificial system contributes part of the background necessary for understanding and appreciating the person and work of Christ.
