Meditate on verses 3 and 6.

 

This is the offering by fire which you shall offer

 to the LORD: two male lambs one year old without defect

 as a continual burnt offering every day.

It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained

 in Mount Sinai as a soothing aroma, an offering by fire to the LORD.

 

God required the Israelites to daily present two perfect, unblemished lambs as a continual burnt offering.  This offering was to be made to God at all times, without interruption. 

 

Picture yourself living under that law, daily finding two faultless lambs to offer to God to cover your sins.  As the enormity of that task sinks in, thank Jesus for being the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

 

For the Law… can never, by the same sacrifices

which they offer continually year by year, make

 perfect those who draw near.  But in those sacrifices, there

 is a reminder of sins year by year.  We have been

sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ

 once for all.  He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, … has

 perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

—Hebrews 10:1, 3, 10, 12, 14

 

As a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7), pray Numbers 28:22 over those who need Jesus to be their sin offering and thank Him for making atonement¹ for you.

 

“LORD, thank You for being my sin offering

 to make atonement for me.

Please let __________ receive You as their

 sin offering to make atonement for them.

Because You are the perfect sin offering, Jesus~”
