Sacrifice as a similitude of Christ
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, 2 Chronicles 8:12–13
The daily offerings and the feast of unleavened bread (the Passover season) were part of the law of Moses that pointed to Christ. Paul calls Jesus 'our passover' and applies the unleavened bread to living a sincere, clean life.
