The essential difference between us as New Testament priests and the Old Testament priesthood is that the ancient priests looked forward by faith to the atonement Messiah would provide, while we look backward —two thousand years to the same hinge point of history. They presented the blood of animals, a physical sacrifice, in contrast to the priesthood 1 Peter describes, which offers up a spiritual sacrifice—making claim by faith on the shed blood of Jesus as the final atonement for sin. Amen
