learn Leviticus - we are!

Our bible study group has been putting off learning about the book of Leviticus. But when you really analyse it together you can see the holiness of it. See, just at the begining...as soon as the Tabernacle is set in Exodus, we go straight in to the next book, of Leviticus, with: "The Lord called.." So, we have the burnt offering of propitiation (bears the anger of God for us). The Grain offering was 'dedication' - Jesus was perfectly dedicated to His father. The Sin offering - was CLEANSING - which is what Jesus 's blood does for us - Life poured out in death. The Guilt offering was REPAYMENT - He paid our debt to God. Then, finally The fellowship offering (the sweet aroma) and in Jesus, we have the felloship of His Spirit. Each offering is a different aspect of the manisfestation in Jesus. Wow. The repentant person gives his sin via the laying of his hands on to the unblemished animal which in turn takes on the burden of that sin, in order for the man to walk away cleansed. This is what Christ has done for us. Of course, these animals did not solve the ultimate problem of sin. The problems of the universe need a deeper solution than the blood of these animals. These burnt offerings were each a kind of prophecy saying that one day the Lamb of God Himself would come to be the final and ultimate sacrifece, the Lam who would take away the sins of the whole world. See Hebrows 10:1-6. The Law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifieces repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. ..."Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.
