Lesson 6: More Testimonies About Jesus (John 1, 6, & 7, and Leviticus 17)

Have you ever considered the logic of the sacrificial system of the Old Testament? If you sinned by violating the law, why would an innocent animal be killed? That makes no sense. Animal or human sacrifices to pagan gods certainly exist in some societies, but they seem to be a tribute to the gods rather than a punishment for the violation of a legal code. Some Christian traditions sought to restore logic to the system by encouraging a follower to beat himself or pay a fine for sinful behavior. That makes sense! The illogic of the Old Testament sacrificial system is one of the most powerful witnesses to the fact that Jesus is the Messiah, He is God. Let's jump into our study of the illogic proving our Lord is God!
