These were various, and very numerous under the Levitical law, and all more or less foreshadowed the one offering of Christ. None of them took away sin, but were merely to show that only through the death of another, could God be approached. Each was designed to express some special perfection in the work. of Christ; thus the burnt offering, His perfect devotion to His Father’s will, the meat offering, His spotless life, the peace offering, the blessed results of His death; the sin offering, His position as the sinner’s substitute, &c., &c. Christ’s own offering has now put an end to all these shadows, and the only offerings known to Christian priests are the sacrifices of praise, the offerings of their goods, and of themselves (sea Heb. 13, Phil., Rom. 12).
