Christ Greater Than Moses — The Final and Perfect OfferingWith Anthony Pina📖 Today’s ReadingLeviticus 4–7Hebrews 3In this episode, Anthony walks through the continued details of Israel’s sacrificial system and highlights a powerful New Testament truth: what the law required, Christ fulfilled.🩸 Leviticus 4–7 — Sin Is Serious, and God Provides a WayThese chapters expand on the offerings introduced earlier in Leviticus, with special focus on:The Sin Offering (Leviticus 4) — For sins committed in ignorance.The Trespass/Guilt Offering (Leviticus 5) — For specific acts of wrongdoing.Further instructions regarding burnt, grain, and peace offerings (Leviticus 6–7).One repeated phrase stands out:“And the Lord spake unto Moses…”Moses served as God’s conduit to the people, and Aaron and his sons carried out the priestly responsibilities exactly as prescribed.Key Themes:Sin — even unintentional sin — must be addressed.Worship must be done God’s way.A spotless sacrifice was required.Atonement always required blood.The weight of these chapters reminds us just how serious sin is before a holy God. Yet it also magnifies God’s mercy in providing a way for reconciliation.Today, we don’t search for a spotless animal to sacrifice — because Christ became our perfect offering, once and for all.✝️ Hebrews 3 — Christ Is Greater Than MosesThe author of Hebrews continues building the case that Christ is superior.After establishing that Christ is greater than angels (Hebrews 1–2), chapter 3 makes it clear:Christ is greater than Moses.While Moses was faithful as a servant in God’s house, Christ is the Son over God’s house.Moses:A faithful servantA leader and mediatorA testimony pointing forwardChrist:The SonThe fulfillmentThe perfect and faithful High PriestThe once-for-all sacrificeMoses was used mightily by God, but he was imperfect.
