Excerpt from The Bible Companion Book 2:
Leviticus - Deuteronomy
Though we no longer sacrifice animals, burnt offerings symbolize the importance of beginning and ending our day with a complete surrender to God. The ritual God designed shows us that worship is not a spectator sport played by professional clergy. We, the lay people, must participate actively, bringing our gifts and praises to the Lord. The apostle Paul writes, “I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship” (Rom. 12:1).
COMPANION THOUGHT
If you were to make an intentional gift to God every morning and evening, what would it be?
Leviticus 2: THE GRAIN OFFERING
When anyone brings a grain offering to the Lord, their offering is to be finest flour.
Leviticus 2:1
The Hebrew word for offering combines two ideas—to present and to draw near. Drawing near to God is the point of the five offerings in Leviticus: (1) burnt offering; (2) grain offering; (3) fellowship offering; (4) sin offering; and (5) guilt offering. Except for the grain offering, they are blood offerings. The term sacrifices in Scripture usually refers to blood offerings.
In the Levitical system, physical perfection symbolizes spiritual holiness.
