God's Divine Accommodation in Disclosing His Plan to Man

God often prepares mankind to grasp deeper spiritual truths by first revealing earthly examples.  Throughout the centuries prior the Christ came, God had revealed a system of animal sacrifice as a covering for sin.  When Jesus appeared, John the Baptist described Him as the Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world.  The Jewish people had been given the necessary background to understand this symbolism, and to appreciate the meaning of Jesus' sacrifice.

When God created man, He foreknew that man would fall, and that His plan for mankind would include their regeneration.  But the very concept would be incomprehensible without some background to prepare man's mind.  Regeneration would be even more meaningless than referring to Jesus as "the Lamb of God" before a people who had never known the Jewish sacrificial system.

There are classes of animals that can reproduce asexually.  I have been told that if one cuts a starfish in half, and throws it back into the ocean, it will form into two starfish.  God could have decreed that all animals, including man, reproduce asexually.  But through the sexual reproduction of mankind, God has given man a tiny glimpse into a spiritual event incomprehensible in its scope and nature.  As we better understand each aspect of our salvation, we stand in greater awe of our great and mighty God, and the things he has wrought.
