Leviticus: Greek origin meaning to "belonging to the Levites". Third book of the Old Testament containing religious and ethical laws for priests and believers.
As we exit Exodus we start a new book, Leviticus. How blessed we are to be able to feed on the Word of God at anytime and to share it together! God bless our Eating Bread Together!
Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

4 chapters about sin, sacrifice, and blood... then if you do all of that "the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin which he has committed, and he will be forgiven". Thankful that we have The Lamb who gave His lives blood that we might have life.
ReplyDeleteJohn 6:53 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. The Old Testament is such a wonderful picture of the Lord. I will have to study the chapters some more! Blessed to have seen the Jesus through this study in almost every chapter.
Heather, I am with you! Thankful that we have a Perfect Lamb who once and for all was and is the perfect Sacrifice. I need to come back to these chapters in the morning.
ReplyDeleteGod gives His people and us a foreshadowing of the atonement of Christ; the sacrifice of His only begotten son.
ReplyDeleteBurnt Offering = Christ’s Atonement = His Sinless Nature
Grain Offering = Dedication/Consecration = Christ wholly devoted to the Father’s Purposes
Peace Offering = Reconciliation/Fellowship = Christ was at peace with God
Sin Offering = Propitiation = Christ’s substitutionary death
Guilt Offering = Repentance = Christ paid it all for redemption
The previous explanation for Christ in the offerings is taken from a John MacArthur study bible.
