How does Christ's death relate to Old Testament sacrifices?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's death is the fulfillment of Old Testament sacrifices, serving as the ultimate and final substitute for sin.

The death of Christ is intricately connected to the sacrificial system established in the Old Testament. Just as lambs and bulls were sacrificed for atonement, Christ is depicted as the ultimate Passover Lamb, whose blood covers the sins of His people. For instance, the killing of the lamb during the Passover signifies that God's justice is satisfied through sacrifice. Similarly, in Genesis 22, the ram caught in the thicket symbolizes Christ as the substitute, showing that He died in the place of sinners. Throughout the Scriptures, these sacrifices point towards Christ, and His death becomes the fulfillment of these types and shadows, emphasizing the completeness and finality of His atoning work.
