What does the Bible say about burnt offerings?

In Leviticus 1:14, burnt offerings of fowls such as turtles or pigeons represent the meekness and innocency of Christ. These offerings were essential rituals in the Old Testament, serving not only as acts of worship but also as foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice that Christ would make. The specific choice of fowl indicates a type of offering that emphasizes humility and purity, characteristics embodied by Jesus, the Lamb of God.

The act of pinching the neck of the fowl, allowing blood to flow without severing the head, signifies how Christ would shed His blood without losing His divine nature. This indicates the inseparable relationship between the humanity and divinity of Christ, sustaining our hope that through His death, He did not become detached from His Church but remains our eternal Head, affirming the promise found in John 14:3 where He assures His believers of His continual presence through the Spirit.
