Animal sacrifice is not something Christians practice, for
good reason. The sacrifices of the Old Testament point forward to Jesus
Christ and were fulfilled in his death, and are thus no longer necessary for
either Jews or Gentiles.
For Christians, the sacrifices can be an interesting study,
the details of which frequently serve to reinforce the unity and consistency of scripture and the plan of God for man through the ages. They can be very
reaffirming to a Christian’s faith, and give a deeper and more comprehensive
understanding of the holiness of God, the nature of sin, the condition of man
and most significantly, the value of the sacrifice of Christ himself.
