“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:3-4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

there is understanding in the patterns of this atonement the pattern of the sin sacrifice and scapegoat on the day of atonement

“And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats;

one lot for the LORD,

and the other lot for the scapegoat.

And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. ( died for our sins )

But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive ( rose again to life bearing our sins ) before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

…Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail,( he shed his blood of atonement and sprinkled it in heaven ) and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:”( he carried our sins far away from us bearing them for us )
‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭16:8-10, 15, 21‬ ‭

the high priest is Jesus , the sin sacrifice which dies for sin is Jesus , the atonement and living sin bearer is Jesus Jesus is the fulfillment of the old testsment patterns and shadows as they did to pattern on earth with animal blood sinful preists and a man made temple Jesus did this reality and fulfillment of those patterns
“But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: which was a figure for the time then present,

in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:7-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The old things in the law are only a pattern of the realities of the gospel consider the law was truly a teacher until Christ arrived to speak forth reality

the old was temporary and only a foreshadowing of what God was doing for us in Christ like a pre requisite from the sacrifices tonthe mediation to the word the truth and reality is in Christ I hope you find the relevance in this God bless you either way !!
