I'm 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: John Stogey, and it's great to have you with us 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: this week. As always, now this week we're going to 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: do something very different, something I've never done before. What 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: I'm actually going to do is I'm going to give 8 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: you a sample, an eight episode sample of my newest podcast, 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: which is called the Chapter a Day Bible Study. Currently 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: we're studying the book of Leviticus, and I wanted to 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: give you the first eight chapters of Leviticus here in 12 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: the Dwell on These Things podcast. I'm hoping that you'll 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: take the opportunity to listen to it, and if you 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: get the opportunity to do so, don't hesitate to send 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: me some feedback. My email is Bible Studyheadquarters at gmail 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: dot com. That's Bible Studyheadquarters at gmail dot com. But again, 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: the new pot podcast is called the Chapter a Day 18 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: Bible Study. I'm giving an exposition some teaching on each 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: chapter of the Bible. There's one one hundred and eighty 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,559 Speaker 1: nine chapters in the Bible. And it's my goal over 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: the course of the next three years to record a brief, 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: roughly seven minute Bible study for each chapter of the Bible. 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: So I'm currently in the book of Leviticus. I started 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: Genesis and completed it, completed Exodus as well, and now 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: we're right in the midst of recording Leviticus. And so 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: I'm giving you a sample here. I didn't preach this 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: Sunday at my church at Core Creek Community Church, so 28 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: I don't have a sermon for you this week. But 29 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: I thought this would be a fun just a fun 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: way to spend some time together this week. So I 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: hope you'll like it again, send me an email let 32 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: me know what you think. Bible Study Headquarters at gmail 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: dot com. All right, without further ado, here is eight 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: sample episodes of the chapter a day Bible study. You're 35 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: listening to the chapter a day Bible Study. I'm John Stangey, 36 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: and today we're in Leviticus one Laws for Burnt Offerings. 37 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Leviticus is a book about how a holy God dwells 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: among a redeemed people. Moses wrote this book after the 39 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: Israelites left Mount Sinai between fourteen forty and fourteen hundred BC. 40 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: Now keep in mind that this was written during the 41 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: forty years Israel wandered in the wilderness before they entered 42 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: the Promised Land. It's a book that explains God's laws 43 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: for worship, sacrifice, purity, and daily living, showing that sin 44 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: can't be ignored and that approaching God requires atonement. At 45 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: the same time, Leviticus reveals God's desire to be present 46 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: with his people and to shape them into a community 47 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: that reflects his holiness, a theme ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, 48 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: who provides lasting atonement and makes a way for God's 49 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: people to draw near. Leviticus opens in a way that 50 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: many readers don't expect. After the drama of Exodus. The 51 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: story slows down just a little, and initially we aren't 52 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: seeing miracles and movement like we saw in the previous book. Instead, 53 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: we're invited into the tent of Meeting where God speaks. 54 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: In verse one, we read the Lord called Moses and 55 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: spoke to him from the tent of Meeting. Now, that 56 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: opening line reminds us that God isn't distant. That's an 57 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: important reality that's stressed all throughout scripture. He's dwelling among 58 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: his people, and he's giving them a way to approach him. 59 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: Leviticus one introduces the burnt offering. This offering wasn't required 60 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: for specific sins. It was voluntary. Someone brought it because 61 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: they wanted to draw near to the Lord in worship. 62 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: That alone challenges the idea that God only wants obedience 63 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: out of obligation. He welcomes willing hearts, and God explains 64 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: that the offering must be a male without blemish. We 65 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: see that in verse three the animal couldn't be damaged, weak, 66 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: or leftover. God didn't ask for what was convenient, He 67 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: asked for what was valuable. Worship was meant to reflect 68 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: God's worth, not the worshiper's convenience, and that principle still applies. 69 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: God doesn't call his people to only give what costs 70 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: them nothing. Now, one of the most meaningful moments in 71 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: the chapter comes in verse four. There it says this, 72 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: he shall lay his hand on the head of the 73 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to 74 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: make atonement for him. This wasn't a casual gesture. The 75 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: worshiper was identifying with the sacrifice. The animal was standing 76 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: in his place. Sin wasn't ignored or brushed aside. It 77 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: required a substitute. Blood was involved, because life was involved. 78 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: The offering was costly, and that cost was visible. God 79 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: was teaching his people that sin leads to death and 80 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: forgiveness requires sacrifice. This wasn't meant to be abstract. It 81 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: was meant to be very, very personal. Now, Unlike other 82 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 1: offerings that we'll see later in Leviticus, the burnt offering 83 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: was entirely consumed on the altar. Nothing was kept back. 84 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: Verse nine says, and the priest shall burn all of 85 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: it on the altar. As a burnt offering, a food 86 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. The whole 87 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: animal was given. This offering represented total surrender. That phrase, 88 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It appears several times 89 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: in this chapter, and it reminds us that God received 90 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: this offering gladly when it was brought according to his design. 91 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: Obedient worship wasn't wasted effort. God saw it, he accepted it, 92 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 1: and he took delight in it. Leviticus won clearly points 93 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: us toward Jesus. The spotless offering prepares us to understand 94 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: his sinless life. Jesus was without blemish, fully obedient, and 95 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: completely righteous. He didn't just resemble the sacrifice, he fulfilled it. 96 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: First Peter chapter one, verse nineteen describes him this way. 97 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: He's described as a lamb without blemish or spot, and 98 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: that's language that reminds us of the requirements we see here. 99 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: The laying on of hands also finds its fulfillment in Christ. 100 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: Our sin was placed on him. Isaiah fifty three, verse 101 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: six tells us that the Lord laid on him the 102 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: iniquity of us all. Jesus became our substitute in a 103 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: way that no animal ever could. He didn't just symbolize atonement, 104 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: he accomplished it. Now the total nature of the burnt 105 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: offering is also meant to be significant. Jesus didn't give 106 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: part of himself. He gave everything. He held nothing back. 107 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: His obedience didn't stop when it became painful. When you 108 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: look at Philippians two, that chapter reminds us that Jesus 109 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: humbled himself to the point of death on a cross. 110 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: His sacrifice wasn't partial, and it wasn't hesitant. Leviticus one 111 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: also teaches us about access to God. The offering was 112 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: brought to the entrance of the tent of meeting. God 113 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: made a way for his people to come near, but 114 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: that way required sacrifice. Well, today, because of Jesus, access 115 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: to God isn't limited to a physical alter Hebrews ten 116 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: nineteen tells us we can have confidence to enter God's 117 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: presence by the blood of Jesus. What had to be 118 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: repeated again and again during the days of Moses has 119 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: been fulfilled once for all in Jesus. I think this 120 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: chapter also reshapes how we think about worship right now. 121 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: Romans chapter twelve, Verse one urges believers to present their 122 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: body as a living sacrifice. We don't bring animals to 123 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: an altar anymore, but we're still called to offer ourselves 124 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: fully to God. Worship isn't confined to a place or 125 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: a moment. It's the posture of a surrendered life. Leviticus 126 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: one reminds us that approaching a holy God is costly, 127 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: but it's also gracious. God provided the way he invited 128 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: his people to come near, and in Jesus that invitation 129 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: is clearer than ever. The sacrifice has been made, the 130 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: debt has been paid, and the way is open. And 131 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: when we look at the altar in Leviticus, we're meant 132 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: to look ahead to the Cross and respond with faith, 133 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: with gratitude, and with lives that don't hold anything back. 134 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: Thanks again for listening to today's episode of the Chapter 135 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: A Day Bible Study.

I'm 146 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: John Stangey, and today we're in Leviticus two, Laws for 147 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: Grain Offerings. Leviticus two is a short chapter, but it 148 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: carries a rich message about worship, gratitude, and devotion. While 149 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: Leviticus one focused on the burnt offering, which dealt with 150 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: atonement and surrender, Leviticus two introduces the grain offering. This 151 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: offering wasn't about sin, It was about thankfulness, dedication, and 152 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: the desire to honor the Lord with the fruit of 153 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: everyday labor. The grain offering reminds us that God cares 154 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: not only about dramatic moments of repentance, but also about 155 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: the daily rhythms of life. What we produce, what we prepare, 156 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: and what we offer back to him still matters. Leviticus 157 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: two outlines how an Israelite could present a grain offering 158 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: to the Lord. The offering could be fine flour, baked goods, 159 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: or grain cooked on a griddle or pan. Oil and 160 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: frankincense were added, and a portion was burned on the 161 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: altar as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. The rest 162 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: was given to the priest for food. Two details stand 163 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: out immediately. First, no leaven or honey was allowed in 164 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: the offering. Second, every grain offering had to be seasoned 165 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: with salt. These instructions carried spiritual meaning that pointed Israel 166 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: toward God's character and expectations. Verse one sets the tone 167 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: when anyone brings a grain offering as an offering to 168 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: the Lord. His offering shall be of fine flour. He 169 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it. 170 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: This offering wasn't careless or left over. It required fine flour, 171 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: something prepared with time and effort. Worship was meant to 172 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: be thoughtful and intentional. Verse two says, and the priest 173 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: shall take from it a handful of the fine flour 174 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: and oil, with all of its frankincense, And the priest 175 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: shall burn this as its memorial portion on the altar, 176 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: a food offering with a pleasing aron to the Lord. 177 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: Only a portion was burned, but it represented the whole gift. 178 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: God received it as pleasing, not because grain has moral value, 179 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: but because it was offered with a sincere heart. Verse 180 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: eleven gives us a clear prohibition. There it says, no 181 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: grain offering that you bring to the Lord shall be 182 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: made with leaven, for you shall burn no leaven nor 183 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: any honey as a food offering to the Lord. Leven 184 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: often symbolized corruption or sin, and honey could ferment. God 185 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: was teaching his people that what's offered to him should 186 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: be pure and undefiled. And then there's verse thirteen, one 187 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: of the most memorable verses in the chapter. It says, 188 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: you shall season all your grain offerings with salt. You 189 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: shall not let the salt of the covenant with your 190 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: God be missing from your grain offering. With all your offerings, 191 00:12:54,559 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: you shall offer salt. Salt represented permanence and faith and 192 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: covenant loyalty. God's relationship with his people wasn't temporary, it 193 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: was lasting and dependable. The grain offering wasn't about forgiveness 194 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: that was handled through sacrifices involving blood. Instead, this offering 195 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: expressed gratitude and dedication. It acknowledged that daily provision comes 196 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: from God. Flour, oil, and grain they came from fields 197 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: that God caused to grow. Offering them back was a 198 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: way of saying, everything I have comes from You. It 199 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: also showed that God values ordinary work. Farming, grinding grain, 200 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: and baking bread were everyday tasks. God welcomed offerings made 201 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: from the ordinary parts of life. Worship wasn't limited to 202 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: special days. It flowed out of daily obedience and trust. 203 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: Leviticus Two points our hearts to Jesus in several important ways. First, 204 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: the grain offering was bloodless, and yet that it was 205 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: still pleasing to God. Well, Jesus lived a perfectly obedient 206 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: life before he ever shed his blood on the cross. 207 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: His daily faithfulness, obedience, and devotion to the Father were 208 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: a pleasing offering. He said in John four thirty four. 209 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: My food is to do the will of Him who 210 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: sent me, and to accomplish his work. His life itself 211 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: was an offering. Second, the fine flower points to Christ's 212 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: perfect humanity. There was no roughness or impurity. Jesus was 213 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: fully human, yet without sin. Every word he spoke and 214 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: every action he took reflected righteousness. Third, the oil often 215 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: symbolizes the Holy Spirit in scripture. Jesus was anointed by 216 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: the Spirit at his baptism and empowered for his ministry. 217 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: His life and work were carried out in perfect cooperation 218 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: with the Holy Spirit. Fourth, the salt of the covenant 219 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: reminds us that Jesus established an everlasting covenant through his sacrifice. 220 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: God's promises to his people are secure and unchanging. Jesus 221 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: later told his followers, you are the salt of the earth. 222 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: We see that in Matthew five thirteen. Jesus was connecting 223 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: covenant faithfulness to lives shaped by his grace. And finally, 224 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: Jesus described himself as bread. In John six point thirty five, 225 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: he said, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes 226 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me 227 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: shall never thirst. The grain offering finds its fulfillment in Christ, 228 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: who offers himself as true nourishment for the soul. Leviticus, 229 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: who invites us to examine what we're offering to God today, 230 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: not just in moments of crisis, but in everyday faithfulness. 231 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: Our work, our time, our attitudes, and our gratitude all 232 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: matter because of Jesus. We don't bring offerings to earn 233 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: God's favor. We offer our lives in response to the 234 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: grace we've already received. Again, as Romans twelve to one 235 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: reminds us, we are called to present our bodies as 236 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: living sacrifices, and Leviticus two helps us see that even 237 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: the simplest offerings, when given with sincerity and trust, are 238 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: received by God and ultimately point us to Christ, the 239 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: true bread from Heaven.

You're listening to the 251 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: chapter a day Bible Study. I'm John Stangey, and today 252 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: we're in Leviticus three. Laws for Peace Offerings. Leviticus three 253 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: describes the peace offering, sometimes called the fellowship offering. This 254 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: chapter gives instructions about animals, fat, blood, and the altar, 255 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: which may seem a little technical or detailed at first, 256 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: but when we take time to understand what the Lord 257 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: was communicating with these regulations, we discovers something deeply relational 258 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: taking place. This offering wasn't mainly about dealing with guilt 259 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: or making atonement. It was about restored relationship, shared joy, 260 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: and peace with God. The peace offering could come from 261 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: the herd or the flock, whether male or female, as 262 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: long as the animal was without blemish. The worshiper laid 263 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: a hand on the animal's head and brought it before 264 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 265 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: Then the animal was slaughtered and the blood was thrown 266 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: against the sides of the altar. The fat portions were 267 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: burned as a food offering to the Lord. One repeated phrase, 268 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: a phrase we've heard before in Leviticus, sets the tone 269 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: for the whole chapter. In verse five, we read a 270 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. Now 271 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: that phrase appears again and again, and it tells us 272 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: that God welcomed this offering. He received it gladly. The 273 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: peace offering wasn't driven by fear. It flowed from gratitude 274 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: and fellowship. Another key verse comes near the end of 275 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: the chapter, and verse sixteen we read, all fat is 276 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: the Lord's The fat represented the best portion, the richness, 277 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: the abundance. God wasn't asking for leftovers. He invited his 278 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: people to honor him with the best, while they themselves 279 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: enjoyed the rest in a shared meal. The peace offering 280 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: was often eaten by the worshiper and the priests. God, 281 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: the priest and the worshiper were symbolically sharing a table together. 282 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: That idea alone is a joy to spend a moment 283 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: thinking about In a world where many religions try to 284 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: appease angry gods, Israel's God invited his people into fellowship. 285 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: Peace wasn't something they generated, It was something God provided 286 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: and then welcomed them to enjoy. The emphasis on blood 287 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: is also important. In verse seventeen, we read you shall 288 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: eat neither fat nor blood. Blood represented life and life 289 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: belonged to God. Peace with God never ignored the seriousness 290 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: of sin or the cost of life. Even in a 291 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: celebration offering, there was a reminder that peace rests on 292 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: God's terms, not ours. So how does this chapter point 293 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: us to Jesus well? First, Jesus is our peace. And 294 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: Ephesians Chapter two, verse fourteen, the apostle Paul writes, for 295 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 1: he himself is our peace. The peace offering wasn't something 296 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: Israel invented to feel close to God. God established it well. 297 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: In the same way, peace with God isn't something we 298 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: achieve through effort or morality. It's something God gives us 299 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: through Christ. Second, Jesus offered himself without blemish. The repeated 300 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: requirement that the animal be without blemish it points forward 301 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: to Christ's sinless life. As we've already acknowledged in our 302 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: study of this book. The apostle Peter later makes this 303 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: connection clear when he describes Jesus as a lamb without 304 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: blemish or spot. We see that in one Peter one, 305 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: verse nineteen, Jesus didn't bring an external offering to God. 306 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: He brought himself. Third, the burning of the fat shows 307 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: total devotion. The best portion belonged entirely to the Lord. Well, 308 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: Jesus didn't hold anything back. He loved the Father perfectly 309 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: and obeyed him fully, even to the point of death. 310 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: His life was in every sense a pleasing aroma to God. 311 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: As Paul says, Christ loved us and gave himself up 312 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. We 313 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: see that in Ephesians five, verse two fourth the shared 314 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: meal hinted at deeper fellowship in the peace offering, the 315 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: worshiper enjoyed a meal in God God's presence. Well, in Christ, 316 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: that picture becomes even clearer. Jesus regularly ate with sinners, 317 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: not to shame them, but to restore them. On the 318 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: night before his crucifixion, he shared a meal with his disciples, 319 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: and he spoke of a new covenant in his blood, 320 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 1: and Scripture looks forward to the marriage supper of the Lamb. 321 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: We see that in Revelation nineteen, where redeemed people from 322 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: every nation will share eternal fellowship with God. Leviticus three 323 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: reminds us that peace with God isn't cold or distant. 324 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: It's relational. It involves joy, gratitude, and closeness. It's rooted 325 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: in sacrifice, but it results in celebration. This chapter also 326 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: challenges us to be generous toward God. If all the 327 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: fat belongs to the Lord, then that means God deserves 328 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: our best, not just our leftovers. Peace with God challenges 329 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: how we live. We don't obey to earn peace. We 330 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: obey because peace has already been given to us in Christ. 331 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: When we read Leviticus three through the lens of Jesus, 332 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: we see that the longing behind the peace offering is 333 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: fulfilled in Him. Through his blood, peace has been made. 334 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: Through his sacrifice, fellowship has been restored, and through his 335 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: resurrection that peace is secure. What was symbolized at the 336 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: altar is now experienced through the cross. In Jesus. We 337 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: aren't just forgiven, We're welcomed. We're invited to the table 338 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: and we're given lasting peace with God.

Have a great day, and I'll 349 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: see you again right here tomorrow. You're listening to the 350 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: Chapter A Day Bible Study. I'm John Stogey, and today 351 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: we're in Leviticus for Laws for Sin Offerings. Leviticus Iour 352 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: introduces us to the sin offering, a sacrifice given for 353 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 1: unintentional sin. At first glance, I imagine that phrase might 354 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: feel a little surprising. We often think of sin as 355 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: something deliberate or something we choose to do, and yet 356 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: this chapter reminds us that our brokenness runs deeper than 357 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: conscious rebellion. We fall short even when we don't mean to, 358 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: and in Leviticus four, God addresses that reality with clarity, 359 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: with patience, and with mercy. The chapter walks us through 360 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: several scenarios. A priest sins unintentionally, the whole congregation sins unintentionally, 361 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: a leader sins unintentionally, an ordinary person sins unintentionally, and 362 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: each situation is addressed carefully, and each one comes with 363 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: specific instructions. God doesn't minimize or brush off sin, but 364 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: he also doesn't treat everyone with a one size fits 365 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: all response. Accountability is real, but so is grace. The 366 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: opening section sets the tone for the entire chapter. It says, 367 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: if anyone sins unintentionally in any of the Lord's commandments 368 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: about things not to be done, and does any one 369 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: of them? And then it follows, but that word unintentionally 370 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 1: shows us something important about God's heart. He knows our frame, 371 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: He understands our limitations. He sees that even sincere people 372 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: can drift, misunderstand, or act without full awareness, sins still 373 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: needs to be addressed, but God makes a way for 374 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: restoration rather than rejection. One notable feature of this chapter 375 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: is how responsibility increases with influence when the anointed priest sins, 376 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: the impact is serious because his role represents the people 377 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: before God. In verse three, we read if it is 378 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: the anointed priest who sins, thus bringing guilt on the people. 379 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: What that means As leaders don't just affect themselves, their 380 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: actions ripple outward. God takes that seriously, and this passage 381 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: reminds us that spiritual leadership carries weight. The same is 382 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: true when the whole congregation sins. In Verse thirteen, we 383 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: see if the whole congregation of Israel sins unintentionally, so 384 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: there's a communal dimension to sin and repentance. God invites 385 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: the people to own their failure together and to seek 386 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: forgiveness together. Faith was never meant to be lived in isolation, 387 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: and yet Leviticus for isn't only about responsibility. It's also 388 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: about access. Every category or people group that's mentioned in 389 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: this passage, they're all given a path back to God. Leaders, priests, 390 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: and everyday individuals. They all have a way to be forgiven. 391 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: The sacrifices differ in scale, but the outcome is the same. 392 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 1: Forgiveness is possible. A repeated phrase appears throughout the chapter, 393 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: and it's easy to miss if you read it too quickly. 394 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: In verse twenty, it says, and the priest shall make 395 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven. There's comfort 396 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: in those words. God doesn't leave his people guessing about 397 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: where they stand when atonement is made according to his 398 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: provision forgiveness follows. Now that rhythm points us forward to 399 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: something even greater. The sin offering involved the shedding of blood. 400 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: Life was given so guilt could be covered. The animal 401 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: bore the consequence that the sinner deserved. This wasn't because 402 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 1: God delighted in sacrifice, but because sin is costly. Brokenness 403 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: always carries a price, and Leviticus doesn't minimize that reality, 404 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: but it also doesn't leave us trapped in it. All 405 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: of this finds its fulfillment in Jesus. Where Leviticus ford 406 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: describes repeated sacrifices, Jesus offers himself once and for all. 407 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: Where the priests brought the blood of an animal into 408 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: the tent of meeting, Jesus brings his own blood into 409 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: the presence of God. The Book of Hebrews helps us 410 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: see this connection clearly, but the seeds are already planted 411 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: right here in Leviticus. Jesus addresses not only our intentional rebellion, 412 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: but also the sins we commit in weakness, in ignorance, 413 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: or in immaturity. He covers what we didn't even realize 414 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: we needed covering for the Book of Isaiah points ahead 415 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: to this very thing when it says, all we like sheep, 416 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way. 417 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: We see that in Isaiah fifty three, verse six. Sheep 418 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: don't usually wander with malicious intent. They drift well. Jesus 419 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: comes looking for wanderers. Leviticus four also reminds us that 420 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: forgiveness flows from God's initiative, not ours. He designs the sacrifice, 421 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: he sets the terms. He promises forgiveness. In Christ, that 422 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: initiative reaches its fullest expression. Ephesians one seven says in 423 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of 424 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: our trespasses. So what Leviticus shows in shadows, Jesus reveals 425 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: in substance this chapter from Leviticus. It invites us to humility. 426 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: It reminds us that we're capable of sin even when 427 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: our hearts mean well. It also invites us to experience 428 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: and express gratitude. God doesn't wait for us to be flawless. 429 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: Before welcoming us back, he provides away. As you reflect 430 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: on Leviticus for today, consider how gently God deals with 431 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: human weakness. He takes sin seriously, but he also takes 432 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: restoration seriously. In Jesus, we see both truths meeting perfectly. 433 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: Our sin is fully acknowledged, fully paid for, and fully forgiven. 434 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: Now that isn't a reason to be careless with our lives, 435 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: but it is a reason to live with thankful hearts, 436 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: fully aware of our need, and confident in God's mercy. 437 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: Thanks again for listening to today's episode of the Chapter 438 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: a Day Bible Study.

I'm 449 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: John Stogey, and today we're in Leviticus five, Laws for 450 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:07,959 Speaker 1: Guilt Offerings. Leviticus five continues the discussion of sin offerings, 451 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: but it narrows the focus in a personal way. This 452 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: chapter doesn't deal with dramatic forms of public rebellion. Instead, 453 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: it speaks to hidden failures and unintentional wrongs, and the 454 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: type of sins people might be tempted to excuse or conceal. 455 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: The message we're being shown is highly relevant to us all. 456 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: No matter what era of history we live in, sin 457 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: still matters, even when it feels small or accidental or unseen, 458 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: And at the same time, God graciously provides a way 459 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: for the guilt to be lifted. The chapter opens with 460 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: several specific examples of guilt. We read in verse one, 461 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: if anyone sins in that he hears a public adjuration 462 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: to testify, and though he is a witness, whether he 463 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: has seen or come to know the matter, yet does 464 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: not speak, he shall bear his iniquity. Silence can be sinful, 465 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: withholding truth even passively carries responsibility before God. Other examples 466 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: follow touching something unclean without realizing it, making a careless 467 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: oath and then later discovering its seriousness. These aren't acts 468 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: of deliberate defiance. They are failures that happen in everyday life, 469 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: and yet God doesn't dismiss them. Verse five says when 470 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: he realizes his guilt in any of these and confesses 471 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: the sin he has committed, recognition and confession are essential. 472 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: God doesn't expect perfection, but he does call for honesty. 473 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: What stands out to us as we read this passage 474 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 1: is that awareness changes responsibility. Once guilt is realized, action 475 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: is required. Sin isn't erased by ignorance once the truth 476 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: comes to light, challenges the tendency to minimize wrongdoing by 477 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: saying I didn't mean to or I didn't know at 478 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: the time. God's concern is restoration, and restoration begins with confession. Now, 479 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: the prescribed response in this passage is a guilt offering. 480 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: The offender was to bring a sacrifice, often a lamb 481 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: or goat, and yet God also shows remarkable compassion for 482 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: those with limited means. We read in verse seven, if 483 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: he cannot afford a lamb, then he shall bring to 484 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: the Lord two turtle doves or two pigeons. And we 485 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: also read that if even that was too much, fine 486 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: flower was permitted instead. The point wasn't the monetary value 487 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: of the gift. The point was acknowledgment of guilt and 488 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: trust in God's provision for forgiveness. I love the way 489 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: the passage reveals God's compassionate and understanding heart. Forgiveness was 490 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: never meant to be inaccessible. No one was excluded because 491 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: of their poverty or because of their status. God made 492 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: a way for every repentant person to come. The chapter 493 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: then concludes with cases involving misuse of holy things or 494 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: unintentional fraud, and again restitution is required. Forgiveness doesn't ignore 495 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: the consequences. We see in verse sixteen. He shall make 496 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: restitution for what he has done amiss in the Holy Thing, 497 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: and shall add a fifth to it. So grace doesn't 498 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: erase responsibility. It restores what was broken and seeks to 499 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: repair the harm that was done. And all of this 500 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: points directly toward Jesus. Leviticus five teaches that guilt is 501 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: real even when sin feels subtle. Jesus affirms this truth 502 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: when he speaks about sins of the heart, careless words 503 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: and hidden motives, and he doesn't lower God's standard, he 504 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: fulfills it. Where Leviticus requires repeated offerings for recurring guilt, 505 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: Jesus offers himself once for all. The guilt offering described 506 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: here in Leviticus five finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ. 507 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: The prophet Isaiah uses the same language when he's speaking 508 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: of the Messiah. In Isaiah fifty three to ten, we read, 509 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 1: when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall 510 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: see his offspring, he shall prolong his days. Jesus isn't 511 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: only a sin offering. He's the guilt offering. He bears 512 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: responsibility for what we failed to do, what we did unknowingly, 513 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,840 Speaker 1: and what we later recognized with regret. Leviticus five also 514 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: emphasizes confession in the New Testament. That pattern continues. We 515 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: see in First John one point nine. If we confess 516 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us 517 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: our sins and decleanse Us from all unrighteousness. Because of Jesus, 518 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: confession is no longer tied to bringing an animal or 519 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: bringing grain. It's tied to trusting Jesus and then resting 520 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: in the finished work that he completed on the cross. 521 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: The provision for the poor also finds fulfillment in Christ. 522 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 1: Forgiveness isn't reserved for those with resources and education or 523 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: spiritual maturity. It's available to all who come by faith. 524 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: Jesus paid the full cost so no one would be 525 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: turned away. Finally, the called to restitution reminds us that 526 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: grace changes how we live. Jesus forgives freely, but his 527 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: forgiveness reshapes our relationships. Zach Chias, someone you may have 528 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: heard of since you were a child, actually demonstrated this 529 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: in Luke chapter nineteen, when he repaid those he had 530 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: wronged after he encountered Christ. Forgiveness leads to transformation. Leviticus 531 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: five teaches us that sin is serious, even when it's hidden, 532 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: even when it's unintended, and even when it's discovered later. 533 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: And it also teaches us that God is merciful, accessible, 534 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: and eager to forgive. In Jesus, the weight of guilt 535 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: is lifted, confession is welcomed, and restoration is possible what 536 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: the law required. Repeatedly, Christ is accomplished fully.

You're listening 548 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: to the chapter a day Bible Study. I'm John Stongy, 549 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: and today we're in Leviticus six, The Priests and the Offerings. 550 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: Leviticus six brings us deeper into the everyday life of 551 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 1: worship in Israel. Now, admittedly, some of it may feel 552 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 1: repetitive at first glance. We've already read about offerings and 553 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: sacrifices and priestly responsibilities. But this chapter is trying to 554 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: remind us that God cares deeply about faithfulness in the details, 555 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: not just in big moments of repentance or celebration, but 556 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: in daily obedience that often goes unnoticed. This chapter begins 557 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: by returning to the guilt offering. God addresses sins committed 558 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: against others through deception or theft or dishonesty. These aren't 559 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: public scandals. They're quiet sins, often hidden, relational in nature, 560 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: and things that are sometimes easy to justify. And yet 561 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: the Lord says in verse two, if anyone sins and 562 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: commits a breach of faith against the Lord by deceiving 563 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 1: his neighbor, God makes it clear that sin against another 564 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: person is ultimately a breach of faith against him. Now 565 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,760 Speaker 1: what's required is more than an apology. The offender must 566 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 1: make restitution, adding a fifth to what was taken, and 567 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,919 Speaker 1: then bring an offering before the Lord. The forgiveness it's 568 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: offered is genuine, but personal responsibility still matters. God takes 569 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: both repentance and restoration seriously, and this points us directly 570 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: to Jesus. Every one of us us has fallen short 571 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 1: in ways that affect others. We've said things we shouldn't 572 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 1: have said. We've taken what wasn't ours, even in subtle ways, 573 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: or we've maybe acted out in selfishness. We know that 574 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: we owe a debt we can't fully repay, and yet 575 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: Jesus steps in as our perfect guilt offering. In Isaiah 576 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: fifty three to ten. Isaiah speaks of the servant who 577 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: would make his soul an offering for guilt. Well, that's 578 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: a reference to Jesus. Jesus doesn't ignore our sin. He 579 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: covers it completely, restoring what we could never restore on 580 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: our own. The chapter then turns to instructions for the priests, 581 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: beginning with the burnt offering. God commands that the fire 582 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: on the altar must never go out. We see in 583 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: verse thirteen fires shall be kept burning on the altar continually. 584 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:54,080 Speaker 1: It shall not go out. This wasn't merely symbolic. It 585 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: was practical. Someone had to tend that fire every day 586 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: and then remove the ashes, and then make sure that 587 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,319 Speaker 1: that worship didn't become careless. I think this shows us 588 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: something important about God's heart. Worship wasn't meant to be occasional. 589 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: It was meant to be constant. The fire represented ongoing 590 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:18,320 Speaker 1: devotion and God's continual presence among his people. Well, Jesus 591 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: fulfills this image in a powerful way. In Leviticus, the 592 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: fire never went out. In the Gospel, Jesus becomes the 593 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: once for all sacrifice. Hebrews tells us, but when Christ 594 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 1: had offered for all time, a single sacrifice for sins. 595 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: He sat down at the right hand of God. We 596 00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: see that in Hebrews ten twelve. The work is finished. 597 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: We're no longer keeping a physical fire burning, but we 598 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: live daily in the reality of Christ's completed sacrifice. Now, 599 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: Leviticus six also gives instructions for the grain offering. Part 600 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,399 Speaker 1: of it belonged to the priests, and it's described as 601 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 1: quote most whole. We see that in verse seventeen. God 602 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: cares about how his servants are provided for, and he 603 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: sets clear boundaries that protect reverence. Nothing about worship is casual. 604 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,720 Speaker 1: Even what's left over matters to him. Well, this reminds 605 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: us that Jesus is our daily bread. He doesn't just 606 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: save us and then leave us to figure out life 607 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: on our own. He sustains us daily with grace, with wisdom, 608 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: and with strength. Just as the priests depended on God's 609 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:35,320 Speaker 1: provision every single day, we depend on Christ again every 610 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: single day. The chapter then closes with instructions for the 611 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: ordination offering of the priests. Aaron and his sons were 612 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,720 Speaker 1: to offer sacrifices every morning and every evening. This offering 613 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 1: wasn't shared. It was completely given to the Lord. We 614 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: see in verse twenty three every grain offering of a 615 00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 1: priest shall be wholly burned. It shall not be eaten. 616 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 1: Here we see the weight of representing God before the people. 617 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: The priests weren't free to treat their calling lightly. Their 618 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: lives were meant to be poured out in service. Jesus 619 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: fulfills this perfectly. Scripture tells us that he is our 620 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 1: great high priest, who didn't offer repeated sacrifices. He offered himself. 621 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: In fact, in Hebrews chapter seven, verse twenty seven, were 622 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: told he has no need like those high priests to 623 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:34,000 Speaker 1: offer sacrifices daily, since he did this once for all 624 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: when he offered up himself. So what the priests did 625 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: continually Jesus completed eternally. Leviticus six teaches us that God 626 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: isn't only interested in emotional moments or public acts of devotion. 627 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 1: He actually cares about consistency and honesty and reverence in 628 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: ordinary life. Faith shows up in how we treat others, 629 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,399 Speaker 1: and how we maintain worship, and how we live when 630 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 1: no one's watching. Through Jesus, everything this chapter points toward 631 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: is fulfilled. He restores what we've broken. He sustains us 632 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:17,240 Speaker 1: day by day, and he stands as our faithful high Priest. 633 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 1: Because of him, we don't live under the burden of 634 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: endless sacrifices. We live in grateful response to a savior 635 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: who gave himself fully and forever. Thanks again for listening 636 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: to today's episode of the Chapter a Day Bible Study. 637 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 1: For more resources to help you in your walk with 638 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 1: Christ and your understanding of the Bible, please visit my 639 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: website at Bible Studyheadquarters dot com, and if you'd like 640 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: to partner with me by becoming a supporter of this ministry, 641 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 1: you'll see a few options to do so again at 642 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: Bible studyheadquarters dot com or in the description of this episode. 643 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 1: As always, thank you for your prayers, thank you for 644 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 1: your support, and thank you for your willingness to share 645 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: this content with others. Have a great day, and I'll 646 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: see you again right here tomorrow. You're listening to the 647 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,760 Speaker 1: Chapter a Day Bible Study. I'm John Stogey, and today 648 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,240 Speaker 1: we're in Leviticus seven, How to Handle the Guilt Offering 649 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 1: and the Peace Offering. Leviticus seven is more than a 650 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,280 Speaker 1: continuation of material we've already seen it's actually a chapter 651 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 1: that pulls the sacrificial system together in a very practical way. 652 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 1: This chapter explains how offerings were handled, who could eat what, 653 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 1: and how God expected his people to treat holy things. 654 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: It isn't just about ritual It's about gratitude and reverence 655 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 1: and fellowship with God. And when we read it through 656 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: the lens of Jesus, it becomes even more meaningful. Now. 657 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: This chapter opens by revisiting the guilt offering and the 658 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,800 Speaker 1: peace offering, focusing on their purpose and their proper handling. 659 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 1: God wanted clarity. These sacrifices weren't casual activities. They carried 660 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 1: weight and meaning. The guilt offering addressed specific wrongdoing, especially 661 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: when restitution was involved. Sin had consequences, and forgiveness wasn't 662 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: treated lightly. Verse one reminds us this is the law 663 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: of the guilt offering. It is most holy. Now, please 664 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 1: notice what's being said there. God wasn't just interested in 665 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,919 Speaker 1: people feeling forgiven. He wanted them to understand the seriousness 666 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 1: of sin and the holiness of atonement. Forgiveness always costs something. Well, 667 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: that idea points us directly did Jesus Our forgiveness wasn't 668 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,320 Speaker 1: free it was purchased with his blood. Where the guilt 669 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 1: offering required a ram without blemish, Jesus became the flawless 670 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: sacrifice in our place. He bore the cost we couldn't 671 00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 1: pay now. The chapter then moves into detailed instructions about 672 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: the peace offering, which is especially rich in meaning because 673 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:30,640 Speaker 1: unlike other sacrifices, the peace offering involved shared participation. Part 674 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,360 Speaker 1: was given to God, part to the priests, and part 675 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: was eaten by the worshiper. It was a meal of 676 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: fellowship and gratitude and restored relationship, and Verse eleven says, 677 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,760 Speaker 1: and this is the law of the sacrifice of peace 678 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: offerings that one may offer to the Lord. These offerings 679 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,360 Speaker 1: could be brought as thanksgiving, They could be brought in 680 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 1: fulfillment of a vow, or they could be brought as 681 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: a free will offering. They weren't driven only by guilt. 682 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: These were expressions of joy and gratitude. That's such a 683 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 1: beautiful picture of what Jesus has accomplished because through him 684 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 1: we don't just receive forgiveness. We're invited into fellowship as well. 685 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 1: We're welcomed to the table. Jesus didn't just remove hostility 686 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,760 Speaker 1: between us and God. He made peace. Paul later talks 687 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 1: about this truth when you look at Ephesians chapter two, 688 00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: verse fourteen, where he says that Jesus is our peace. 689 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: So Leviticus shows us the shadow and Jesus is the substance. Now, 690 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,280 Speaker 1: something particular in Leviticus seven that I think should stand 691 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,800 Speaker 1: out to us is the emphasis on timing and purity. 692 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,880 Speaker 1: The meat of the peace offering had to be eaten 693 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,440 Speaker 1: within a specific timeframe. We're told that anything left too 694 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,120 Speaker 1: long had to be burned. God was teaching his people 695 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 1: that fellowship with Him wasn't to be treated casually or carelessly. 696 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 1: Verse eighteen says this, if any of the flesh of 697 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: sacrifice of this peace offering is eaten on the third day, 698 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 1: he who offers it shall not be accepted. Now that 699 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,919 Speaker 1: may sound harsh, but there's a point that's being made here. 700 00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:18,640 Speaker 1: God takes worships seriously. Gratitude isn't something to delay or neglect. 701 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: That truth still applies to us today. We don't approach 702 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:28,200 Speaker 1: God on our terms or at our convenience. Through Jesus, 703 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 1: we have bold access, but never casual access. Grace doesn't 704 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 1: erase reverence. Well, another major emphasis in this chapter is 705 00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: the repeated prohibition against eating blood and fat. Verse twenty 706 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 1: six says, moreover, you shall eat no blood. Whatever blood 707 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: symbolized life, and life belonged to God, and this rule 708 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 1: reinforced that atonement required life to be poured out. And 709 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,880 Speaker 1: that prepares us for the words of Jesus at the 710 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 1: Last Supper when he said the cup was quote my 711 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: blood of the covenant. So what was once forbidden became 712 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,319 Speaker 1: the very means by which life was offered. Jesus fulfilled 713 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,280 Speaker 1: what Leviticus only pointed toward. His blood didn't just symbolize life, 714 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:24,359 Speaker 1: it secured it. Now. The chapter closes by summarizing the 715 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: offerings and the role of the priests. When you look 716 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,720 Speaker 1: at verses thirty seven and thirty eight, they tie everything together, 717 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,680 Speaker 1: reminding Israel that these instructions came directly from the Lord 718 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 1: at Mount Sinai. This wasn't human invention, It was divine provision, 719 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: and that's the heart of it. God provided a way 720 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,760 Speaker 1: for sinful people to dwell in his presence. The system 721 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: was detailed and it was demanding, but it was also gracious. 722 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: It showed that God wanted relationship, not distance. Jesus fulfilled 723 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,640 Speaker 1: every part of this system. He is our guilt offering, 724 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 1: bearing the cost of our sin. He is our peace offering, 725 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 1: restoring fellowship with God. And he is the priest who 726 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:15,879 Speaker 1: intercedes and the sacrifice that satisfies. Leviticus seven teaches us 727 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,720 Speaker 1: that worship is meant to be grateful, reverent, and rooted 728 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,240 Speaker 1: in God's provision. And when we read it with Jesus 729 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 1: in view, we see that what once required repeated sacrifices 730 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 1: has now been completed once and for all by Christ. 731 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: We don't bring an offering to earn peace with God. 732 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,759 Speaker 1: We live from the peace Jesus has already secured, and 733 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: like the peace offering, our lives become a response of thanksgiving, 734 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 1: a response of shared fellowship, and a response of joyful 735 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: devotion to the one who gave himself for us.

I'm 748 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 1: John Stogy, and today we're in Leviticus eight, The Ordination 749 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:05,760 Speaker 1: of Erin and his Sons. Leviticus eight records the public 750 00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 1: ordination of Arin and his sons, showing how God sets 751 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:14,400 Speaker 1: apart priests through washing, sacrifice, and obedience. And it's a 752 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: chapter that might feel like a procedural chapter at first 753 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 1: glance because it's filled with actions and repetition and careful 754 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: attention to detail. But beneath those details is a powerful 755 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 1: picture of how God prepares people to stand in His 756 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,760 Speaker 1: presence and to serve on behalf of others. This chapter 757 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 1: describes the ordination of Arin and his sons as priests, 758 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 1: but it also points us forward to Jesus, who is 759 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: the perfect and final high priest. The chapter opens with 760 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,879 Speaker 1: Moses doing exactly what the Lord commands. In verse four, 761 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 1: we read Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and 762 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 1: the congregation was assembled at the entrance of the tent 763 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: of meeting. This wasn't a private ceremony. It was intentionally 764 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,360 Speaker 1: done in the full view of the people of Israel. 765 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 1: God wanted his people to see that priests weren't self appointed, 766 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:11,080 Speaker 1: They were chosen, called, and prepared by him. The first 767 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 1: act in the ordination process is washing. Verse six says 768 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,439 Speaker 1: and Moses brought Arin and his sons and washed them 769 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 1: with water, so before any garments are put on or 770 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 1: sacrifices are offered, there's cleansing. This washing symbolized the need 771 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,840 Speaker 1: for purity before serving a holy God. It's a reminder 772 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 1: that ministry doesn't begin with talent or position. It begins 773 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: with being made clean, something that ultimately only the Lord 774 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 1: can accomplish. Well. Then come the garments. Moses clothes Arin 775 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,480 Speaker 1: in the priestly attire, including the ephod, the breast, peace, 776 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:53,320 Speaker 1: and the turbine. Each peace was designed for glory and beauty, 777 00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,040 Speaker 1: but also for purpose. When Aaron wore these garments, he 778 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,959 Speaker 1: was visibly marked as one who stood before the Lord 779 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,520 Speaker 1: on behalf of the people. He didn't represent himself, he 780 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 1: represented them. Next, Moses anoints the tabernacle and Aaron with oil. 781 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 1: Verse twelve tells us, and he poured some of the 782 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:17,319 Speaker 1: anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to consecrate him. 783 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:22,480 Speaker 1: Anointing symbolized God's empowering presence. The priest wasn't just clean 784 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:28,359 Speaker 1: and clothed. He was set apart and enabled for holy service. Now, 785 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:32,600 Speaker 1: the sacrifices that follow are central to the chapter. A 786 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,280 Speaker 1: sin offering is made first, and then a burnt offering, 787 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,400 Speaker 1: and finally a ram of ordination. Blood is applied to 788 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 1: Aaron's ear, thumb, and big toe. And you might wonder 789 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 1: why that was done. While this act symbolized that the 790 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:50,280 Speaker 1: priest's hearing, and the priest's work, and the priest's walk 791 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: were all to be devoted to the Lord, nothing about 792 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,160 Speaker 1: his life was meant to be untouched by God's holiness. 793 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 1: Now there's one verse in particular that helps capture the 794 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,320 Speaker 1: heart of the chapter. We see it in verse thirty six. 795 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,440 Speaker 1: It says, and Aaron and his sons did all the 796 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 1: things that the Lord commanded by Moses. Obedience here completes 797 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 1: the picture. God had given clear instructions, and the priests 798 00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 1: followed them fully. Their readiness to serve flowed from submission, 799 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 1: not self expression, and all of this points unmistakably toward Jesus. 800 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 1: Jesus had no sins, so he didn't need washing because 801 00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 1: he was sinful, but he did submit to baptism to 802 00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 1: quote fulfill all righteousness. We see that in Matthew three 803 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:44,200 Speaker 1: point fifteen he identified with us in our need for cleansing, 804 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 1: even though he himself was perfectly clean. And where Arin 805 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 1: was washed symbolically, Jesus now cleanses Us in the deepest sense. 806 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 1: Jesus didn't wear ceremonial garments made by human hands, but 807 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:03,280 Speaker 1: he was clothed in perfect righteousness. The Book of Hebrews 808 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 1: tells us that Jesus is our great high priest, who 809 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,920 Speaker 1: is holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners. We see that 810 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: in Hebrews seven, verse twenty six. Now the beauty and 811 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:20,040 Speaker 1: glory of Aaron's garments, they were only a shadow of 812 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: the moral and spiritual beauty that we find fully in 813 00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. We also know that Jesus was anointed not 814 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 1: with oil but with the Holy Spirit. At his baptism, 815 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit descended on him, marking him as God's 816 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:41,120 Speaker 1: chosen servant Isaiah, who speaks of Jesus as this future servant. 817 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 1: He speaks words that find their fulfillment in Jesus when 818 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: he says in Isaiah sixty one point one, the spirit 819 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 1: of the Lord God is upon me. Now most importantly, 820 00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 1: Jesus offered the final sacrifice. Aaron needed repeated sacrifices because 821 00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:03,040 Speaker 1: sin kept interrupting fellowship with God. Well, Jesus offered himself 822 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,560 Speaker 1: once for all again. The book of Hebrews says he 823 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,160 Speaker 1: has appeared once for all at the end of the ages, 824 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 1: to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. We 825 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 1: see that in Hebrews nine twenty six. So where Leviticus 826 00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 1: eight shows blood that's applied again and again, the Gospel 827 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 1: shows one sufficient sacrifice that never needs repeating, the blood 828 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,520 Speaker 1: placed on Aaron's ear, hand, and foot that actually finds 829 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: its fulfillment in Christ as well. Jesus listened perfectly to 830 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 1: the Father. He did the Father's will completely, and he 831 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 1: walked in obedience all the way to the cross. His 832 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:49,520 Speaker 1: life was fully devoted without compromise or hesitation, and Leviticus ate. 833 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,920 Speaker 1: By the way, it also speaks to believers today through Christ, 834 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 1: we are called a royal priesthood. We see that in 835 00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 1: one Peter two nine. We're washed, we're clothed in Christ's righteousness, 836 01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 1: and we're anointed by the Holy Spirit. And we don't 837 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:10,120 Speaker 1: serve to earn God's favor, but we serve because we've 838 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 1: already received it in Christ. This chapter reminds us that 839 01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 1: drawing near to God is serious, gracious, and costly. It 840 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:26,800 Speaker 1: required preparation, it required sacrifice, and it certainly required obedience. 841 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,760 Speaker 1: And Jesus fulfills all of it on our behalf. Because 842 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,240 Speaker 1: of Him, we don't stand outside the tent hoping to 843 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 1: be invited in. We've been brought near, We've been fully welcomed, 844 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 1: and we've been lovingly set apart for God's glory.
