"Sin is the transgression of the law of God.
In none of the types was the individual worshiper brought into so close contact with the sanctuary service as in the sin-offering.
---There is no part of religious worship that brings the individual worshiper into such close touch with the Lord as when he kneels at the Savior's feet, confessing his sins, and knowing the strength of the promise, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)---
It is then that the repentant sinner touches the hem of the Master's garment, and receives His healing power in the soul.
*If the sinner was a priest, filling that holy office where the influence of his wrong course would case others to stumble, then he was to bring a bullock, an expensive animal, as a sin-offering; but if he was one of the common people, he could bring a kid goat or a lamb.
*The sin-offering was brought into the court of the sanctuary, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. (Lev. 4:1-35)
*The sinner, with his hands laid upon the head of the lamb, confessed over it all his sins, and then with his own hand he killed it. (Lev. 4:29; Num. 5:7) sometimes the blood was taken into the first apartment of the sanctuary by the officiating priest, who dipped his finger in the blood and sprinkled it before the Lord. The horns of the golden altar, the altar of incense, were also touched with the blood.
The priest then came out into the court, and poured all the blood at the base of the altar of burnt-offering. (Lev. 4:7,18,25,30)
The bodies of the animals whose blood was taken into the sanctuary, were burned without the camp. (Lev. 6:30) "Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without the gate." (Heb. 13:12)
The sinner, by confessing his sins over the lamb, in type and shadow transferred them to the lamb. The life of the lamb was then taken instead of the life of the sinner, typifying the death of the Lamb of God, who would offer His life for the sins of the world.
---When the sinner lays his sins on Christ, "the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world," those sins are hidden, covered by the blood of Christ. (Rom 4:7,8)
---They are all recorded in the books in heaven; (Jer.2:22)
---but the blood of the Savior covers them, and if he who sinned is faithful to God, they will never be revealed, but will finally be destroyed in the fires of the last day.
---The most wonderful part is that God Himself says He will cast them behind His back (Isa. 38:17) and will not remember them. (Isa. 43:25)."
