SACRIFICE
Leviticus 1
1. And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. 3. If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord.
To the early Jews sacrifice was very important, and necessary. They wanted to be right with God. Do we?
In the passing of time we learn that Jesus paid the sacrifice for our sins, if we trust Him as our Savour. But, sacrifice is still needed and useful in the work of the Lord. The sacrifice is different. We offer ourselves in service for the Lord. How good are we at that? How often do we sacrifice for Jesus-if ever?
