How does Leviticus reveal Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Leviticus reveals Christ through its sacrificial system and priesthood, foreshadowing the fulfillment found in Him.

The book of Leviticus serves as a vital connection to understanding the person and work of Jesus Christ. The sacrificial system outlined in Leviticus, with offerings like the burnt offering, sin offering, and peace offering, all point to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who embodies these offerings as our perfect Redeemer. The priesthood established in Leviticus typifies Christ's mediatorial role, where Aaron's role foreshadows Jesus's perfect and eternal priesthood. Leviticus also emphasizes the need for holiness and ritual purity, foreshadowing how Christ's work accomplishes this by cleansing us from sin, establishing the framework through which we can approach the Holy God with confidence, knowing we are accepted in Him.
