1:3; 2:1, 12; 3:1

The offerings, or sacrifices, commanded under the Law covenant pleased Jehovah and pointed to Jesus and the ransom sacrifice or to the benefits from that sacrifice.​—Heb 8:3-5; 9:9; 10:5-10.

• Just as all animals to be sacrificed were to be sound and unblemished, Jesus sacrificed his perfect, unblemished body.​—1Pe 1:18, 19

• Just as burnt offerings were presented in their entirety to God, Jesus gave himself wholly to Jehovah

• Just as those who offered an acceptable communion sacrifice were at peace with God, the anointed who share in the Lord’s Evening Meal are at peace with God
