Today:[Leviticus Chapter Three] Friendship with God in the Peace Offering. In this chapter we learn about a form of sacrifice called the peace offering. In the peace offering we are acknowledging that Jesus is our peace and we are pursuing covenantal friendship with God even as Abraham did of old. The peace offering called for special handling of blood, and fat, and kidneys. These were considered the choicest parts of the animal and reflected giving God the best of ourselves even as God has given us His best in Jesus Christ.

Today:[Leviticus Chapter Four] Mercy is God’s First Response. In this chapter we come to the third kind of sacrifice, that of the sin or trespass offering. We have looked at the consecration offering and the peace or covenantal offering, now we come to the sin offering. The mention is made of “sinning in ignorance”. How does God deal with sin? God’s response to sin is to extend his mercy and provide means of returning to fellowship and relationship with Him through the shed blood of Christ. Even as His first response to sin is mercy even so our first response to sin should be mercy.
