About this episode
Dr. Matt discusses the significance of the Levitical sacrificial system in understanding Jesus' atonement through the lens of the Old Testament.
This is a recording of class that Dr. Matt taught at his church during lent on looking at the cross through the lens of the OT. The NT talks about Jesus' death as the substance to the OT shadows. So we must understand the OT events and motifs to make sense of what Jesus accomplished on the cross. And so that we don't go beyond the meanings of these shadows as some theories have.
