Leviticus 15-18

It took me about 20 minutes to read this passage. There are so many practical lessons for us that it is difficult to settle on one for this entry. But the lesson that I find very moving in this passage is from 16:34. As God completed his explanation of Yom Kippur he points out that it is an annual observation for each year. Once each year ONE sacrifice is made for ALL the sins of ALL the people of Israel. This corparate sacrifice was expensive; it consisted of a bull, a ram, and two goats. Three were slaughtered one was sent into the wildreness. The key lesson is the ONE sacrifice for ALL the people. What better picture os the power of Jesus' life could God have given?.
