“And if you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” This is not about getting what we want – it’s believing that God will give us the desires of His heart that are for our good. The more I seek to know Who God is, His desires become my desires.
Reading through Leviticus so far, I see God is giving every opportunity to be a holy people. He wants nothing more than to be their One and Only God, but they must follow His commands, and so do we/I. To me this speaks of His compassion and great love for them and us. To be set-apart, we must live an upright, holy life, pointing others to the One and Only God.
Many people did not humble themselves or believe how powerful Jesus is even when he performed miracles before their eyes. The sacrifice system was to show all people the power of God; it was also to show all the destruction sin causes. As I read leviticus, I was in pain for the animals (all the blood). I realized that Jesus had to do this, pay the ultimate price. I know that the sacrifices were a lot of work and materials, but the people who do them showed the Lord they believed in his love and power. Now that Jesus has died for our sins, we no longer need to make those type of sacrifices
It is just so wonderful to know that as long as we have faith, and do not doubt, anything we ask for in prayer, we will receive. God is SO good and I am humble in my gratitude.
Jesus tells us the power of prayer, if we have faith. Our faith is week or we could move mountains. I pray for faith, that Jesus will intervene where I lack.
God asks for a sacrifice for sin AND for the guilt we feel, he doesn’t want to leave us with that and forgives us for how we feel about our sin also! Amazing!
I don’t think it changes anything we do today, because Jesus was the final and perfect sacrifice for our sin! But, to me, reading the very specific laws and sacrifices that were required to pay for sin reminds me how much of an offense my sin is to God — every little sin — and that sin must be paid for with death. Reading Leviticus causes me to worship my Savior all the more because He Himself took on all the punishment for my sin!
It is highly significant that when God begins to speak to Moses in the middle of the camp from the entrance of the tabernacle, the first topic God addresses for the first seven chapters has to do with sacrificial offerings and atonement for sin. If we, in reading the New Testament, are to properly understand what it means for Christ’s death to be sacrificial; penal; substitutionary; atoning; ransoming; redemptive; justifying; purifying; forgiving; covenantal, we will have to look primarily to the book of Leviticus for that understanding. It does not simply provide the background for the death of Jesus Christ, but the very foundation, the scaffolding, the framework, the blueprint, or the tapestry-design for the proper understanding of what Christ accomplished in his life, death, and resurrection.
Curious to know people’s thoughts: As I read Leviticus, the offerings for every son, how were they supposed to survive? Like a fleeting thought of jealousy or anger requires the same as all sin, but they happen so easily. They couldn’t just pray and ask for grace and forgiveness. If they were honest, how did anyone have anything left? I have a lot of random thoughts off of this but this is what I’ll leave here fo now. Thanks
I think the burden/impossibility of the sacrifice system is sort of the point. It was meant to direct the Israelites’ (and our) attention to the fact that they could not meet God’s standard of perfection on their own. Sin is a serious offense to God and had to be stoned for. They (we) desperately were in need of a Messiah who could free them once and for all from their bondage to sin and put them in right standing with God again.
We don’t have to offer Jesus anything for our sins, that’s the amazing thing! Jesus died for our sins and all we have to do is accept that and ask for forgiveness through the blood of Him
I’m just making an assumption here, but perhaps the fig tree was of a certain age where it should have been bearing beautiful fruit, a mature plant perhaps? A metaphor for a mature human who has rejected the good fruits of the Spirit? So, Jesus then basically made the plant wither and die, as those who reject God will experience eternal death, I.e. Eternal separation from God.
The rituals were rough, the rules unending. The priests were deemed holy but still they could sin — they were human, after all — and the price for atonement was higher than some could afford to pay. My eyes flicker across the pages of Leviticus, and all I see in every verse is our 150% need for JESUS. His sacrifice fulfilled our need to be cleansed from sin with endless sacrifices, His perfect life paid the price for mine, a flawed and messy existence. How is that an even trade? What love is this that Jesus prepared a way for US to come to the Father and appear BLAMELESS, as if we, like him, had never sinned?? There is nothing like His radical, game-changing love. There is no one like our God!
It has been a rough crazy couple of weeks(and while that still doesn’t give me the right to not find time to read my bible) I have been having a tough time to read his word because I end up asleep with my phone in my hand. I going to try really hard to start from today and continue on everyday.
I find sometimes it’s easier to catch up a couple days at a time than to read every single day. As long as you are getting it done, that is what matters more than certain verses on certain days.
Yes! I agree with Monica. I found myself not reading every day but rather reading two or three days worth at a time (though when I fell behind nearly a week it was a little overwhelming trying to catch up). Lately, instead of saving it for the end of the day I set my alarm just 10-15 minutes earlier in the morning and read the day’s lesson as soon as I wake up! Starting my day with prayer and reading the bible has given me such positivity! The last thing you want is for it to feel like a chore… So don’t pressure yourself to read every single day if that’s what it seems like. Try to find a routine that works for you! Blessings!
In January I started getting up 30 mins earlier, making coffee and sitting in quiet with God praying and reading. It was hard at first but it has become my favorite part of my daybutdaubecome
Monica, I too have trouble with Leviticus and other Old Testament passages. I think, though, the message for us today is to see what it took to atone for our sins. Jesus made all of that obsolete by becoming the sacrifice. We can come to him now, we don’t have to go through the priests or through rituals. The rituals pointed to Jesus, our perfect and final sacrifice.
I also needed the reminder of praying with belief. I struggle with that, I don’t want to demand things of God or think that the power is from me, that it will happen because I said it will happen. I want to learn more about praying in faith, Lord, help my unbelief
Hi Monica! Leviticus is a hard book to read. The biggest that that I always take away from this book is how great our sins are and the great cost for atoning for our sins. In the OT, the atonement from the sacrifice forgave the sin temporarily, but once you sinned again you had to offer another sacrifice. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross means that He fully atoned for our sins and fully satisfied God’s wrath. We are forgiven!
What stood out to me today was the reminder of God’s holiness. Our world really doesn’t see unintentional sin as bad because, “you didn’t mean to do it”. But the standards of God’s holiness say that it is a sin as soon as you realize you’ve done it. I think that’s partly how the rest of the world is going to be held at judgement– they will suddenly know that what they have done was wrong and it will be too late for them to have a sacrificial offering to remove that guilt.
God is holy completely.
What a great reading today! Wow. The guidelines for the sacrifices of sin and here we see in Matthew that the merchants where selling doves and that enraged Jesus.
One of my favourite scriptures is here too, the one about the children running and shouting “hosanna” in the temple! I just love that image.
If you believe, you will receive. Matt 21:22. Whispering a prayer in the wee hours. The night watch. For this child of mine who has forgotten what God has done for him. I’ll let my heart surrender in tears for I live for the Coming Kingdom and I want my children there with me. And I don’t know. Collapsing and trusting. Not what I thought. Pressing in. Sweet sleep my soul. Rest.
Prayers of comfort & peace for you! Both of my boys are in a different season now also. What gives me comfort is that God is ultimately their Father… My prayer is that while they are older, and have their choices to make…I pray for opportunities to plant seeds any chance I get, remain consistent in my walk & show love, verses shame tactics. God’s love will prevail!
Praying for you children Bev!! I have little little ones… And a part of me dreads them growing up for fear of having to watch them reject my Savior. BUT GOD is the one who calls them out of darkness and into his marvelous light! May that be done for your children (and mine!)
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer…
I needed this today! So much anxiety and unrest but what a great reminder that my Jesus loves me and that He wants to give me what I need, I just need to have the boldness to ASK!
The end of Exodus and now the beginnings of Leviticus have me thinking one thing: Thank you God that you sent your son Jesus to be the atoning sacrifice for my sins (1 John 2:2)! The ceremonious practices and rituals were a reminder to me of what Christ came to abolish–and he did it for you and me. Amazing! I also thought about the hidden sins lurking within my heart…what a call to repentance this reading was
I’m feeling very overwhelmed in today’s reading. Leviticus opening my eyes to pray for forgiveness for the known and unknown sin (which I hardly ever thought about before). Matthew v.22 gave me such conviction that our God is so great and all we have to do is love Him and Believe in Him and options are endless! That He will always provide and give us the best. I really needed that right now because I lost my job at Christmas and I haven’t been able to replace it, and I’m wandering around like a lost puppy. I’m not sure if school is a good idea, if moving for more job opportunities is worth it and I just pray everyday that the Lord will knock me in the head the the answer.
Cecalee, The Lord is equipping you with what you need for the future. Sometimes he changes us before he changes our situation. I’m praying that God sends you comfort and courage!
Praying for you sister! That the Lord opens up a door for you and supplies you with clear direction! May the Lord bless you and keep you wherever He leads you!
Cecalee, I know how you feel! I’ve lost the same job twice in the past 6 months… I’m in prayer for you, sister! I know God will give you wisdom and discernment for allalall thethe decisions you need to make!
This morning in getting through the rituals it struck me how complex, messy, exhausting, and even violent the priests jobs were. Handling the sacrifices for hundreds of thousands of people EVERY DAY. I guess, it could be somewhat likened to a butcher..but constant dipping of the hands in the blood, sprinkling, burning. What a job!
Yes, I have to remember fairly often to look at myself before I point fingers at others, because I do things that I don’t see for what they are…sin. Makes me appear judgmental even when I don’t want to be.
The reading, and many of the comments have touched upon this “unintentional sin”… I am grateful that Jesus is our mediator, speaking & praying to our Father on our behalf! Interesting how we can naively walk around as “all is well”, yet some unhealthy root might potentially be growing.
I think these chapters are tough to read, but clearly important. Today I kept thinking about Psalm 19:12 “Forgive my hidden faults.” So much of today’s reading had to do with what to do when they realized their guilt. For us now, we lay it at the feet of our Lord. But if we truly don’t know, may we add to our prayers, “forgive us for what we don’t see or recognize as sin.”
Is anyone else confused by the fact that the Matthew passage sounds like Jesus was riding both donkeys at once? I looked it up in several other translations, and it sounds the same in all of them. I never caught the way this is phrased before. It just makes for a very strange picture in my head lol.
Unknown sin. Even now we are to confess our sins, known and unknown. I mess up, hurt others, act selfishly self-serving, without even realizing it. I am not to just let it go. I must “fess up”and make amends. And it will cost me something too. maybe not a bull or a goat, a pigeon or even a handful of flour, but perhaps my pride. “you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it … the sacrifice of God is a broken and contrite heart.”
As I read Leviticus this morning, I felt overwhelmed to imagine being responsible for my own sin offerings before the Lord. I’m sure I don’t even notice half of my unintentional sins, and to add the responsibility of sacrificing for intentional sins and guilt offerings on top of that just seems unattainable. I never would have remembered in all, and even if I did, as soon as I’d have made a sacrifice, I’d have needed to make another one again because of my sinful nature. But I think that’s the point-it was impossible to keep the law.
Thank you, Jesus being the holy Lamb who was slain once for all. Thank you that we don’t have to try and cleanse ourselves anymore. You’ve made us holy and righteous in the sight of the Father. Thank you, our Savior.
Hosanna! Love this adoration of the King!

Jesus rode on a Donkey & a colt. Just noticed that today. He asked the disciples to bring both.

Thank you Lord for sending your son Jesus so that we don’t have to make sin or guilt offerings anymore!
“ ‘From the lips of children and infants

No junior Holy Spirit!
Jesus tells us the power of prayer, if we have faith. Our faith is week or we could move mountains. I pray for faith, that Jesus will intervene where I lack.

So why should we worry about how they did offerings centuries ago? How does it change anything we would normally do today?
I don’t think it changes anything we do today, because Jesus was the final and perfect sacrifice for our sin! But, to me, reading the very specific laws and sacrifices that were required to pay for sin reminds me how much of an offense my sin is to God — every little sin — and that sin must be paid for with death.

Great comments and discussion of these passages in Leviticus! Thank you! So thankful for Christ, this old system would have been so hard.
I think it shows how God sent his us for us… God wanted the Isrealists to bring an animal without blemish to die for their sins
Just as God send his son without blemish to die for our sins. I think it’s showing the isreal that they are doing the same thing that God will do..
Or at least that’s what I am taking from it
Curious to know people’s thoughts: As I read Leviticus, the offerings for every son, how were they supposed to survive?

We don’t have to offer Jesus anything for our sins, that’s the amazing thing! Jesus died for our sins and all we have to do is accept that and ask for forgiveness through the blood of Him
Amen amen!!!
I wonder why Jesus did not say bare fruit to the tree instead of killing it.

A metaphor for a mature human who has rejected the good fruits of the Spirit? So, Jesus then basically made the plant wither and die, as those who reject God will experience eternal death, I.e.

I’ve often wondered the same! Maybe the smaller one carried his extra cloak or whatever belongings they might have had?
Actually it says that Jesus was riding on the colt (v4), so maybe he just needed the donkey – mother to keep the colt calm?
Yes, I just noticed that for the first time too!
Blood must be shed for the remittance of sin. And the Lord ALWAYS forgives when we truly seek forgiveness.
