A while ago I decided to read the Bible from beginning to end. I can remember thinking as I read a chapter of Leviticus each day, “Please can we move beyond sacrificing animals?” I am very thankful to be living in the age of grace through Jesus. Sacrificing animals to atone for sins was definitely messy and unpleasant. However, there were also so many rules to remember about which animal to sacrifice for what sin and which parts of the animal were to be used for what purpose. Read Leviticus three through five for the details. But for us, Jesus established a new covenant through his own sacrifice. How wonderful that our sins have been paid in full by the blood of Jesus.
