Leviticus 1-7 : Today's Thought

Today’s thought from Leviticus 1-7

 

If you ever thought it would have been fun to live under the old covenant then I am guessing you never read the first seven chapters of Leviticus. Outlined in these chapters are the things that must be done in the event of intentional and unintentional sin and when making an offering to the Lord.  These chapters cover the law of the burnt offering the grain offering the sin offering the guilt offering the ordination offering and peace offering.  I read this just moments ago and I don’t understand it.  I don’t know what I would do if my eternity was based on the proper satisfaction of these offerings.  Think about it.  The relationship that we have access to today is because of the incredible sacrifice paid by Christ, so we could receive the eternal gift of life with the father, the son and the spirit.  How often do we take that for granted?  When I realize my sin, am repentant of my sin and turn to the Father for forgiveness it is me with him in a quite conversation of confession and repentance.  No slaughtering, no step 1,2,3 just me with the Lord.  What a great and wonderful father.  For those who choose to be in relationship with Him, access is easy.   Because access is unlimited, it is easy to avoid accessing with Him at all.  Make your relationship a priority and spend some time with Him today, nothing is more important.

 

In Christ,
