Leviticus 1-4
Have you ever really considered what it was like to be a
priest in the Tabernacle? When you read
the process of the sacrifice in Leviticus, it seems like the process of
forgiving sins was a messy one. And yet
each passage ends with, “a pleasing aroma to the LORD.”
Then one day there was an atonement made for all sin. Likewise, it was very messy. And yet Isaiah writes, “Yet it pleased the
Lord to crush Him.”
I think we would struggle to watch either of these taking
place. Yet shouldn’t we consider - “What can wash away our sins? Nothing but the
Blood of Jesus. What can make us whole again? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.” Those who trust walk into the floodwaters of His Grace. We step into the cleansing flow of
God’s Love poured out for us. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.
Over the past few passages, I've thought of God's holiness and our own depravity...our complete inability, on our own, to please Him. Yet, He has loved us enough to provide a way. He has provided The Lamb.
