How do we know that meat-offerings represent Christ?

The meat-offerings were instituted in the Old Testament as part of the ceremonial law, which ultimately had Christ in view. According to Ainsworth's observations, the offerings represented not merely ritual acts but divine truths about Christ, who was the perfect and final sacrifice. Hebrews 10:5-8 highlights that the offerings of the law were not sufficient; instead, Jesus came to fulfill these symbols by offering Himself. Therefore, the meat-offerings serve as a typological representation of Christ's sacrifice, making them crucial for understanding the atonement.
