#374: Why Were there Animal Sacrifices?

📖 Main Scriptures:

• Leviticus 1:3–4, John 1:29, Hebrews 9:12

Why did people in the Bible sacrifice animals? Wasn’t that a little… strange? In today’s special episode, we explore a question many of you have asked—and the answer helps us understand just how incredible Jesus’ love really is.

We’ll travel back to the Garden of Eden, hear about how sin entered the world, and discover why people once used animals to cover their sin. Then we’ll meet someone called The Lamb of God—Jesus—and learn why He came to be the final sacrifice once and for all.

Kids will hear the difference between covering sin and cleansing it—and why Jesus' love changes everything.

✨ Big Ideas for Little Hearts:

• Sin is serious—but God’s love is bigger.
• Animal sacrifices pointed to Jesus.
• Jesus didn’t just cover our sin—He takes it away.
• When we mess up, we go to Jesus—not to a priest with a lamb.
• Teaching kids the Gospel through Old and New Testament connections
