Have you ever wondered why God commanded His people to sacrifice animals in the Old Testament? Some readers today are so disturbed by the sacrificial system as to call it primitive and obscene. In this message, Dr. R.C. Sproul acknowledges how appropriate this response is. God gave these symbols to teach a primitive people about the obscenity of their sin against His holiness. The sacrifices also show us what it costs to cover our sin and satisfy God’s justice: nothing less than the perfect sacrifice of Christ.
