25.25: Jesus in Leviticus: Atonement for Our Sins: What Sacrifices Actually Please God?

We left Moses at the end of Exodus unable to enter the Tabernacle because God’s Presence was too Holy, too great. Besides  that, Moses, Aaron and the priests were unworthy. So, the next book in  the 5 Books of Moses, is Leviticus — or for the Levites — the priests.  It is God giving Moses specific instructions on the sacrifices and  offerings the people were to bring to the Tabernacle. In these first 3  chapters, we see what types of offerings were acceptable. First there  was the male bull, then a sheep or a goat and then a dove — depending on  what the people could afford. I’ll skip over some of the gory parts and  let you read them for yourself, here. Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper…. Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.” ~ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:22‬ ‭NLT‬‬ - This phrase is repeated 14 times in scripture. Kind of gives the idea that God wants us to pay attention.  If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus didn’t die so we could have religion!
