Daily Reading:
Leviticus 5-8

1.) Facts:
  • The Lord speaks through Moses and describes when sacrifices are needed to atone for the sin of the people. The Lord then lays out the rules and regulations for the different types of offerings. Aaron and his sons are anointed by the Lord.
2.) Lessons:
  • 5:1 - “‘If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible.
  • 5:5 - when anyone becomes aware that they are guilty in any of these matters, they must confess in what way they have sinned.
  • 5:13 - In this way the priest will make atonement for them for any of these sins they have committed, and they will be forgiven.
  • 5:17 - “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible.
  • 6:7 - In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the LORD, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”
  • 8:35 - do what the LORD requires, so you will not die
  • 8:36 - So Aaron and his sons did everything the LORD commanded through Moses
3.) Applications:
  • This passage stresses our inability to escape from our sin nature. We are fallen and have been corrupted through sin. Because of this we have a need for a blood sacrifice in order to atone for our sins. We are held responsible for our sins and there is always a consequence for our sins. We are in need of a perfect High Priest. God the High Priest will make atonement for our sins and we will be forgiven for all the things that made us guilty, however, in order for this to happen we must recognize that we are guilty and confess and repent. The blood of the sacrificial lamb (Christ) will atone us for all our sins. 
4.) Daily Meditation:
  • 6:7 - In this way the priest will make atonement for them before the LORD, and they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”

  1. 5:11 "if you cannot afford to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, you may bring two quarts of choice flour for your sin offering". Even in our sin Gods Justice and Mercy are in abundance. Since the beginning of humanity God has made ways for us to be reconciled with him in spite of our sin.
