ONE-YEAR JOURNEY OF THE BIBLE

Day 34 -Leviticus 5-7 (Jesus Fulfilled the Sacrificial System)

(To View Past Posts Click: http://tonyvicreyes1-yearbible.blogspot.com/ )

“This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecrations, and the sacrifice of the peace offering,  which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when He commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.”  (Leviticus 7:37-38)

Many students of the Bible (you would be one if you are reading this), even the serious ones (I hope and aim to be in this category), tend to skip or skim through the book of Leviticus because of its laborious nature of describing in detail the various ways of sacrificing to God.  Below is an excellent summary by David Guzik of the different kinds of sacrifices prescribed by God to Moses to be offered by the Israelites in the Tabernacle:

JESUS CHRIST AND THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God. (Hebrews 10:12)

JESUS FULFILLED THE BURNT OFFERING (Leviticus 1)

As Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma (Ephesians 5:2)

JESUS FULFILLED THE GRAIN AND FIRSTFRUITS OFFERING (Leviticus 2)

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. (1 Corinthians 15:20)

JESUS FULFILLED THE PEACE OFFERING (Leviticus 3)

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God though our Lord, Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1)

JESUS FULFILLED THE SIN OFFERING (Leviticus 4)

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21)

JESUS FULFILLED THE GUILT OFFERING (Leviticus 5)

Who was delivered up because of our offenses and was raised because of our justification (Romans 4:25)

You have made His soul an offering for sin (Isaiah 53:10)

JESUS FULFILLED EVERY SACRIFICE FOR US!

"He is the Burnt-offering, the Meat-offering, the Peace-offering, the Sin-offering, and the Trespass-offering for His people. By His one oblation of Himself once offered, He has stood in all these different relations" (Jukes)

We have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Hebrews 10:10)
