THE COVENANT OF
REDEMPTION
Background Reading: Hebrews 9:11-23; 10:1-14
The Old Testament sacrifices needed to be done, day after day
and year after year.
But Calvary’s holy perfect sacrifice brought
Atonement to a new level because it was a once and for all time
completed sacrifice.
It put an end to all sacrifices (Matthew 5:17) by
fulfilling the law of sacrifice for man.
Through this Atonement,
redemption was made possible.
Never before had this been the case.
The sacrifice of atonement in the Old Testament could only go so
far, but Christ the perfect sacrifice caused our sin to be covered by
His Blood.
The promise of this covering was given to the Old
Testament Saints in the form of a promissory note in the Old
Covenant which stated that: “You will be clean from your sins”
(Leviticus 16:30).
This was not based on the blood of bulls and
goats but on the sacrifice to come - the atoning sacrifice of Christ at
Calvary.
So complete is this covering that now the Father is able to
send His Spirit to abide with us because of that great Atonement
made at Calvary.
Through this Atonement we have been placed into
Christ as Believers.
This has given us redemption and even the
forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:12-14).
The worth of the animal sacrifices used in Old Testament times
was not sufficient to take sin away for the purpose of redemption.
These sacrifices could only be used to atone for (cover over) the sins
of the people who lived according to God’s Covenant.
The reason
for this, as we have said, was to keep eternal spiritual death at bay
until the Saviour could come to set them free.
The blood of bulls and
goats could do no more than that.
Then at a later time under the
promise of the Covenant, their sin could be fully covered so as to
bring redemption to them.
The Lord had prepared the way through the patterns and
practices of the Old Covenant for the establishment of the New.
This
Covenant was as much superior to the Old Testament Covenant of
1
Atonement as the Blood of Jesus is superior to that of bulls and
goats.
