A Picture of Christ's Sacrifice

Commentators explain that this offering of a blemish-free goat points directly to Jesus. John Gill notes it typifies Christ being 'made sin for his people.' Matthew Henry builds on this, stating that while we no longer offer physical sacrifices, the principle remains: Christ's one offering has perfected believers, and the 'sprinkling of his blood is necessary in all our approaches to God.'
