14 The Lord said to Moses: 15 “When anyone is unfaithful to the Lord by sinning unintentionally in regard to any of the Lord’s holy things, they are to bring to the Lord as a penalty a ram from the flock, one without defect and of the proper value in silver, according to the sanctuary shekel.[d] It is a guilt offering.
As I read through these chapters about how the Israelites were supposed to act regarding their animal sacrifice, what they were supposed to do when they sinned, and what they were supposed to do when they sinned by accident or without intent......it makes me realize what a gift Jesus is to me!
As it's Wednesday of Holy Week as I write this. It causes me to reflect on what a big deal Christ is to me, and how much he's really done. It sounds weird to say, but I think I can take it for granted. It's when I read this type of context that my gratefulness is renewed.
I'm workin' hard to make these chapters interesting. They are dry. But, there is GOLD in those words. We just need to see it!

17 “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible.
ReplyDeleteI was having similar thoughts to you. Thank you Jesus for taking away all my sins, he was held responsible for me before I was born. I am thankful! He is Risen! I write this 2 days after Easter.
