Faith is a gift?
“If anyone sins unintentionally in any of the Lords commandments about things not to be done…then he shall offer for the sin being committed a bull” [Leviticus 4:1-3]
Even sinning unknowingly cost the bull its life. How many times do we sin during the day not even knowing about it?
“There, but for the grace of God, go I”
One of the major offerings in Leviticus 1-4:
One of the major offerings in the New Testament:
“All the fat is the Lord’s” [Leviticus 3:16b]
When someone brought their peace offering in the Old Testament, the intent was to express peace or fellowship between worshiper, the priest, and the Lord. It’s a type of communing meal.
The sacrifice culminates with the offering of fat, which in Ancient Israel, was the most valuable part of the animal.
How much more beautiful is the fellowship that we now have with the Supreme High Priest, Jesus Christ, and the Father who sent Him!
And so let us respond adequately with the very best, valuable, and most costly worship in communion with Him, for as David says, “I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing” [2 Samuel 24:24].
True worship always costs us something.
All the fat is the Lord’s!!
Exodus 4:24-26
“At a lodging place on the way the Lord met him and sought to put him to death. Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it and said, ‘Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!’ So he let him alone.”
