eviticus 5 - Laws for Guilt Offerings | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Leviticus 5 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Leviticus 5 there is more on the sin offering up until verse 13, and from verse 14 onwards is discussion of the guilt offering. What is the difference between these two?Isaiah 53 can demonstrate as it talks about Christ Surely he took up our pain, and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.That passage says that the punishment was on Him. That is the blame and the guilt. But the iniquity is on him too, that is the sin. One is the act itself and the other is the restitution for that act. The payment for both is in Christ.The priests standing in the tabernacle or temple each day would have felt the weight and expense of sin. The amount of blood and animals being offered would have demonstrated how high human guilt was. This all speaks to the greatness of what God did on our behalf in sending Christ. What then is our response to such a great sacrifice.We come with confession, repentance, and then out of our gratitude, we offer our lives fully in return, quick to obey and quick to respond to God in all ways.
