Alma 34:14

The law had another part, and I think this is what verse 14 is talking about, the ritual part of the law. It was the ceremonial part of the law that pointed to the atonement, and it was fulfilled in the way I was confusedly thinking the other parts of the law, or the moral guidelines were fulfilled. What the ceremonial parts of the law were anticipating happened when Christ came. Now we have new rituals to help us remember instead of anticipate. I am specifically thinking of the Sacrament. But even baptism is symbolic of resurrection. Some of the temple rituals also very clearly point to remembering the Savior’s atonement. I am sure the other’s do as well, but I am still learning. It reminds me of the lesson I taught on Sunday and the article about understanding symbolism in the scriptures. The main point is, that ALL things testify of Him. That was really eye opening to me. I guess what the scripture tells me is that all things always have testified of Him—including what happens in the Old Testament. I need to be better about seeking Christ in the scriptures. He is always the point of everything.
