The Burnt Offering

August 12, 2019

Text: Leviticus 1:1-17 

Title: The Burnt Offering

God is holy.

Principle: To come to the presence of the Lord, one must be holy.

Command: Be holy before the Lord's presence

Reflection

• Jesus is my burnt offering once and for all to enjoy the presence of God.

• Why I have taken for granted his presence by doing the things that are abominable in His sight.

• I should enjoy His presence and not the things that God displeases.

Observations

• Purpose of burn offering is to be accepted.

• Offering by fire

• Animals from the herd or the flock

• To be offered by fire by the priests as a soothing aroma to the Lord

• The blood of the young bull to be offered and sprinkled around on the altar that is on the door way of the tent of meeting.

Burnt Offering is to cleanse the people from their sins to have fellowship with God.
