It could only be Jesus! What does this mean? We'll look at this more in depth during the study, but simply stated it means that our loving, holy God sent His very own Son to meet His demands for covering sin and reconciling mankind to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:18). Gentile Christians often miss the complex richness and incredibility of God's intricate work in giving us Jesus. Christ was sent to fulfill all five of the main Levitical offerings that were given by God to help a sinful mankind live in close proximity to a holy God without being punished for their sins. This gift is so intricate that we are sure of this: not just anyone could come and claim to be the savior of the world, and not just anything could ever take this savior's place. It could only be Jesus!
