Leviticus 3 - Praying God's Word

Please read Leviticus 3.

www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/lev/3/1/s_93001

Meditate on two repeated sentences from verses 1-2, 7-8, and 12-13.

He shall offer it before the LORD.

He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering

 and slay it before the tent of meeting.

For a person to be at peace with God, sacrifice was made. An animal without defect was brought to the door of the tabernacle, and the person laid his hand on its head then killed it. The symbolism is powerful. As the hand was placed on the perfect animal, it received the person’s sins and took their punishment—death (Romans 6:23)—for them. Peace with God came with the sacrifice of the animal. One did not enter God’s presence without first making peace with Him, and peace came through the death of sin.

Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of Leviticus and the sacrificial system. Jesus received all of your sins and died for them. His sacrifice allows you to enter the presence of God. You can live at peace with the LORD because your sin died in Christ on the cross. Meditate on these truths during this season called Lent (the forty days before the celebration of Christ’s death and resurrection).

Pray Leviticus 3:1-2 as an offering of thanksgiving for what Jesus did for you and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Jesus, You are ____________ and my sacrifice of peace.

You were offered without defect before the LORD.

All our sins were laid on Your head, and You were slain.

We are able to enter the tent of meeting with God

 because of Your blood sprinkled on us.

Thank You, Sacrifice of Peace, Jesus~”
