We need both Old and New Testaments to see the full picture of what God was doing when He instituted The Passover.  While the Old Testament celebration provided a temporary covering, it could never wash and cleanse us, eradicate all of our past, present, and future sin, and give us eternal life.  That came through the New Testament revelation in Christ. VF-2399 Exodus 11-12

God intended the Sabbath to be a day of rest in order that man would acknowledge His finished work.  Under the new covenant, we are "sabbathing" daily when we recognize Christ's finished work at the cross.  We are not meant to perpetuate the ceremonialism of the old dispensation. VF-2398

We are born in the condition of sin, and our trespasses are against God. But God makes provision for that through the sin and trespass offerings, which represent Christ. Only God can forgive our trespasses against Him, and His grace and forgiveness can be seen in the Old and New Testament.  If we are honest with Him and with ourselves, then the real blessings of knowing Christ begin to happen. VF-2397 Leviticus 5

Most people start off thinking God’s a killjoy who hates everything, but when we look at the sin offering, we see a different perspective: not only did God take care of our condition of sin, He also made provision for the things we had no clue we were doing. VF-2396 Leviticus 4

God was very verbose, and went into great detail when describing the Old Testament offerings.  Looking at two of these, the meal and peace offerings, we see the mind of God and what matters to Him. VF-2395

The offerings given in the Tabernacle show us how to relate to God.  The burnt offering had to be given voluntarily, perfect, and acceptable unto God. It was wholly consumed and ascended as a sweet savor unto God.  Today it is Christ that has accepted us, not the other way around.  He gave Himself as a burnt offering and we too are to give ourselves as a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto God.  VF-2394

Through the scriptures, we can see the parallels between Moses and Jesus, including both of their mothers. Jochebed risked everything to protect her child, Moses.  Mary, the mother of Jesus, dealt with frustration when she did not understand her Son, and she had to suffer as she watched Him crucified.  Our parents are not perfect, but God chose them for us and we should honor them.  Honoring our earthly parents helps us to understand how we should relate to our Heavenly Father.

In a beautiful picture of grace from the Old Testament, we see God’s thought of His children in the stones of the breastplate of judgment.  Combining the value of the stones with the meaning of each family name engraved on them, we see that God is not looking at our past mistakes and failures.  He loves us, imperfect as we are, and our names are written on His heart.

God gave specific instructions for the priesthood that served in the tabernacle.  Everything about the priesthood pointed to Christ, even the details of their garments.  The high priest's shoulder pieces and breastplate, which bore stones that represented the tribes, represented Christ carrying the weight of the people on His shoulders and carrying the people in His heart.

God required people to willingly give offerings so the tabernacle could be built.  The riches of the world were applied to the work of God.  The silver given as ransom money was used for elements in the tabernacle and to make the silver trumpets that called the people to worship and to march to war.VF-2390
