With the Mosaic Covenant came the Law of Moses.

With the Law of Moses came the Sin Offering and the Trespass Offering.

The Law of Moses formed the terms of the Mosaic Covenant, a series of 613 commandments for the Israelites to observe to maintain a covenant relationship with the Lord.

If these laws were kept, God promised blessing on the people.

If these laws were broken, God promised curses on the people.

To break the Law is to sin, and the Sin Offering served as a means for that sin to be covered and to stop the promised curses from falling on the nation.

The Sin Offering protected the people from God’s judgement, but it prefigured a greater sacrifice made by Jesus Christ; The Man who is our Sin Offering and offers a far superior sacrifice.

What are the rites of the offering?

What lies beneath these rites?

How does Jesus fulfil the Sin Offering for us today?
