The Substitute...

In God's efforts to reach out to man and at the same time not violate His character, He provided a way for man to come to God. The Law of God says that the penalty of sin is death, big or small, death is still what it deserve. Why? because God's holiness is absolute, no minute sin is acceptable before God. So the equation is Sin=Death. He made it clear to Adam and Eve, that "the moment you eat the fruit that I told you not to, you will surely die" Death means separation. So immediately Adam and Eve were separated from God and this state has made them miserable because that was not their design. This separation will continue to eternity and the place of confinement will be from bad to worst.

So God said, " substitute is allowed and possible". That means someone can die in lieu of the one who sins. He looked around, and started to narrow down the choices for substitutes. He look at the sky and found none because everything in it are without life to give. he look at the angels...... well, Lucifer and his cohorts can not pay for others' sins because they have their own. How about the good angels? well, they have no flesh and blood like Man whom they are supposed to substitute. He look at mankind, and found no one who have no sin, therefore all are disqualified. And suddenly He look at His Son, and their eyes met... and said "Son both of us Love this man we have created would you be willing to give your life for them?" ... "Yes Father I am willing ...." the mixed feeling between the Father and the Son was overwhelming.

For the mean time that the appointed time of Son to come has not arrive yet... He said to Man "go and make a temporary sin-substitute from the best of your animals. Kill and offer them to me. Regularly do this because every animal you offer is only good for the sin commit for that period...". For so long this is Man's way of connecting back to God, but this is just temporary, a band aid solution...
