How does the red heifer relate to Christ's sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

The red heifer represents Christ's sacrifice, which purifies us from sin.

The red heifer serves as an important typological foreshadowing of Christ's sacrifice. The ashes of the red heifer were used for purification from contact with death, paralleling how Christ's blood cleanses believers from the death brought by sin. Both the heifer's sacrificial death and its subsequent use in purification rituals emphasize the necessity of a perfect substitute to deal with our sin. Just as the red heifer was without defect, Christ was sinless, making His sacrificial death the ultimate means of our purification and reconciliation with God.
