How does the sin offering point to Jesus Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The sin offering foreshadows Christ as the ultimate sacrifice, without blemish, who bears the sins of His people.

The sin offering in Leviticus serves as a type that points directly to Jesus Christ, our ultimate sin bearer. Just as the animal sacrifices had to be without blemish, Christ was sinless, able to take upon Himself the sins of others. The requirements for the sin offering demonstrate the seriousness of sin and the need for a perfect mediator between God and humanity. Christ fulfills this role, offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice on our behalf, ensuring that all for whom He died receive forgiveness, reflecting the atonement depicted in the sin offerings.
