Wow, after reading about all the sacrifices today can you imagine how much blood was poured out on a daily basis just for Aaron and his descendants and the altar of God? That is not including what the people would bring for their sin offerings or thanksgiving offerings.
Look how detailed it was to slaughter the animal, where to get the fat from, what to offer, what not to offer, where to burn it, where to sprinkle the blood, how intricate the uniforms were, how they were to be dressed, and so forth. A lot of T’s to be crossed and I’s to be dotted.
Thank you Jesus, that your death was enough, that your blood was sufficient to atone for all of our sins, thank you for your sacrifice, thank you for your suffering in a way we will never really be able to comprehend but we will truly will be grateful for.
I love the part at the end though with God speaking starting at verse 44, “So I will consecrate the Ten of Meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. They will know that I am the Lord their God who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them, I am the Lord their God.”
Do you recognize that He is the Lord your God, and if so, does the Lord our God dwell with you?
