Ransom, Substitutionary Sacrifice, Sin Offering, and the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ

In this message, we first discuss two primary descriptions used in the Bible to describe the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Then we consider a few examples of the offerings instructed under the Old Covenant and how they point to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. As we approach Passover, we must consider and remind ourselves how we need to accept that sacrifice to be reconciled to God.
