The Christian of today and the ”Sacrifice for innocence” – allegorical commentary

Summary/Abstract: The Book of Leviticus used to be the first book that Jewish children studied in the synagogue, but in the modern Church, it tends to be the last part of the Bible anyone looks at seriously. Unfortunately, this book is one of those of the Old Testament that are usually not read much, even if it consists almost entirely of direct speeches of God. It is important to remember that the moral law of the Old Testament obliges Christians too. In case of a person commits trespass and sins unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord (Lv. 4:14-16) the offering requires also restitution, to pay back what was lost, plus twenty percent. When we look at the sacrifices of the Old Testament, we know they are types, or symbolic representation of the Perfect Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The ram, the trespass offering, remind Jewish the image of Abraham who wants to sacrifice Isaac, for Christians the trespass offering is a type of Christ. Applying the Christian teachings in daily life, that is, practicing the virtues as a way of life, the Christian manages to bring, spiritually, the sacrifice for trespass.
