The worship of sacrifice continues to dominate Leviticus. Today the chapter tell of the beginning of ministry for Aaron and other priests. Is all this teaching of sacrifice relevant as we live following Jesus' death on the cross? What does this message of sacrifice mean to us today? Obviously we read these passages through the lens of the New Testament. Jesus' sacrifice is the once and for all sacrifice needed. (We will read more about that in Hebrews) Our way is through the cross. Our sacrifice comes through daily worship along with service, obedience, and discipleship. Another relevant theme is human need of atonement pointed out a few days ago. Jesus offers our sacrifice and is our atonement. When we do reach Hebrews these connections will be apparent.
The 55th Psalm leads us a wonderful conclusion..."Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." This a great message to take away today!
