The work of the Levitical priesthood in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New each have much to do with the logic and dynamics of sacrifice. Of course priests performed sacrifice in Israel, and Jesus is referred to and is identified as our High Priest in the New Testament and identified as “the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world” (1 Jn 2:2).

The chart provided above distinguishes between the ministry of Jesus and that of Israelite priests.

Human sin required sacrifices to be made. Those sacrifices were costly. Jesus’ suffering and death were described in the New Testament in terms of sacrifice, but His whole life exemplifies sacrificial service.
