I am clean through the blood of Jesus Christ. In deed, if the blood of Jesus does not cover my sin, I am eternally doomed.
What the Jewish sin offering taught by metaphor, Jesus Christ fulfilled in perfect reality.
The animal chosen for the sacrifice on all occasions was spotless, without blemish, and sinless.
The person offering the sacrifice placed his hands on the head of the animal and while pressing down confessed his sins symbolizing a transference of sin and guilt from the offender to the innocent substitute victim. It is as if he put the sin and its consequences on the head of the animal that was to die in his place.
The priest then took his knife and killed the victim that was entirely consumed by fire symbolizing God's judgment.
The LORD God made Jesus Christ an offering for sin. The moment we put our hands upon His head by faith and see Him being offered up on the cross for our guilt, we know that our sins have been transferred to Him, and we are free of our guilt. We are clean through the blood of Jesus Christ.
