BURNT OFFERING , A SWEET AROMA TO LORD
Leviticus 1 : 9 , 13 , 17 . Here it is written , how to give the offering which is a sweet aroma to the Lord . But today , according to new Covenant , this is changed , made easy and absolutely free . Let us meditate about this burnt offering .
1 . Here an animal which is a male with out blemish from the herd , or sheep or goat or a turtle dove or young pigeon was offered as a sacrifice . But Jesus was the lamb of God who died for our sins and His life was given as a burnt offering .
2 . They sprinkle the blood of the animal all around the altar . Yes , the blood of Jesus was shed on the cross in the Calvary .
3 . Aaron and his sons were the priests to offer this sacrifice . But Jesus sacrificed Himself for us and became the High priest for us to plead for the remission of our sins .
4 . The skin of this burnt offering was peeled off and it was cut into pieces . Yes, we should remove all our fleshy works and traditions . We should remove all selfish works of l , me , mine etc .
They had to lay the parts , the head , the fat in order , on the wood in the fire . That means all our sins done by our organs , our thoughts
( head ) , out pride , arrogance ( fat ) should be confessed ( arranged in order ) . All intestines and legs should be washed and then all should be burnt . Yes, all our ( hidden and outward )sins should be washed by the blood of Jesus and should be burnt by the Holy Spirit .
5 . Yes , this burnt offering made by fire was a sweet aroma to the Lord . Today we should offer our body as a living sacrifice which is holyand acceptable to the Lord .Romans 12 : 1 . When a person is saved like this , there will be great joy in Heaven .
6 . Those days they had to pay the ransom for the animal , for the redemption of their sins . But today we are blessed to have this redemption of sin, free of cost at any place, at any time , because Christ has paid the penalty for our sins on the cross .
Yes, let us thank God for the redemption of our sins which is given us, freely through Christ . Amen . Hallelujah .
