How do we know Jesus is the fulfillment of the Red Heifer sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the Red Heifer sacrifice as the perfect, blemish-free offering for sin.

Jesus is depicted as the antitype of the Red Heifer in that He is without defect and without blemish, perfectly embodying the requirements for sacrifice outlined in the law. The specifics of the Red Heifer—being red, without spot or blemish—symbolize Christ’s sinless nature and His designation as our substitute. As stated in Hebrews 9:14, His sacrifice purifies our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. This to fulfill the law and provides a means of cleansing for our moral impurities through His death and resurrection, highlighting that He is the embodiment of the ultimate sacrificial Lamb.
