The ministry of Christ made it so the ministry of the Levitical high priest and the literal Mosaic observances could be laid aside. Not destroyed. Not broken. Just simply not needed anymore because what they were put in place to do has now been done perfectly and forever through the new way of faith in Christ's ministry.for you consider not that the law of Moses was completely changed and replaced by the law of Christ. You consider such change as only partial or incomplete.
God marks the literal Mosaic observances 'satisfied' for the believer. For example, all believers have satisfied God's requirement for a Passover observance and Feast of Unleavened Bread (1 Corinthians 5:7). He did not erase the requirement for Passover. He fulfilled it. Faith in Christ does not leave that observance broken by the coming of Christ. Faith fulfills it. Which is what Christ said he came to do—fulfill the law, not cast it down as the church thinks he did.
The law that the Levitical ministry dealt with remains (do not murder, do not steal, etc.). It didn't go anywhere. It did not get laid aside. The people of God are still required to walk in those laws, God even writing them on the heart of the believer in this New Covenant. They are written on soft pliable hearts of flesh now, not stony hardened hearts.
