Universal Need for Atonement

Matthew Henry's commentary highlights that the provision for a "common person's" sin-offering shows that everyone, regardless of status, is accountable to God. Sins of ignorance still required a sacrifice, demonstrating that neither the greatest are above God's justice nor the humblest beneath it. This points to the universal need for Christ, the great Sin-offering, who welcomes all.
