Maintaining Fellowship: Confessing Our Failures / Leviticus 4:1–12

In the busyness of everyday life there are many moments we live unaware of God’s presence. Sadly there are many times in life we choose to actively ignore God. Whether intentional or unintentional we often miss the mark in our relationship with God through sin. This leads to either hiding from God, or feeling so ashamed that we dare not come to God. In Leviticus 4 we discover the grace of God who invites sinners to a relationship with him. Leviticus 4 reminds us that we come to God on his terms. We need forgiveness and to be cleansed, and he does this the shedding of innocent blood. In this image we have a picture of an even greater reality found in Jesus.
