The Importance of Sacrifice in Christianity

In the book of Leviticus and numbers where you get the ancient Israelite sacrificial laws it's not about this animal being punished for the sins of the people if that was so you couldn't offer the animal to god because it would be impure. The blood which is the life a gift from god of life then cleanses and rinses the sanctuary. Jesus has been in that sense the perfect sacrifice because his blood has cleansed the heavenly temple which now gets joined to the earthly world. Even though we have been sinners god can dwell with us according to Paul’s whole theology of the early spirit, he says.
