God promised that one of Eve’s descendants would crush Satan’s head. He also said that Satan would bite his heel. In other words, Satan would kill the Messiah, but God would raise him to life again. After that, the Messiah would take away Satan’s power forever. Many years later, God showed that the Messiah is Jesus.

God told Noah to build a boat to save his family from the flood he was going to send. This is how God saved the people who believed in him. In the same way, everyone deserves for God to kill them because they have sinned. But God sent Jesus to save everyone who believes in him.

For hundreds of years, priests kept on offering sacrifices to God. This showed people that they committed sin, and that they deserved for God to punish them. But those sacrifices could not forgive their sins. Jesus is the Great High Priest. He did what the priests could not do. He gave himself to be the only sacrifice that could take away everyone’s sin. He accepted that God should punish him for all of their sins. For this reason, Jesus was the perfect high priest.

Jesus is like a Passover Lamb. He never sinned, so there was nothing wrong with him. He died at the time of the Passover festival. When anyone believes in Jesus, the blood of Jesus pays for that person’s sin. It is as if God passed over that person, because he does not punish him.
