Review & Intro: We have looked at 5 offerings in the last 5 chapters of Leviticus: The Burnt Offering, The Grain Offering, The Peace Offering, The Sin Offering, and The Guilt Offering. Beginning with Leviticus 6:8, these will be reviewed again, but the focus will be on the duty of the priests: what their obligations are in relation to each of these offerings and sacrifices. Just as we learned important spiritual principles from the commands that were given to the worshippers of Israel who were to bring the offerings and from the symbolism of the offerings themselves, so also there are important things to learn from God’s commands to those who are to mediate these offerings, those who were to be the priests representing God’s people and offering up these sacrifices to the Lord.

Conclusion: This is the "law" of these offerings: burnt, grain, sin, guilt, ordination, and peace (vs.37), which the Lord commanded Moses at Mount Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to present their offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.(vs.38)
Application:
42. God set up the way He was to be worshiped. He cares how we worship and why we worship and has made a way for us to worship today by coming through the veil as His priests through the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. How has the study of the offerings impacted your sense of worship? It is important how we dress (in Christ), how our offering smells (of the fragrance of Christ), how our offering is sincere from the heart (without leaven wholly sincere and pure). We can only touch the hem of the garment in the depths of the full meanings of the offerings, but I pray you understand them better than you did and that we can apply them to a life of living as a sacrifice unto our Lord. Let's end this section with a commitment to follow Romans 12:1,2 ... and end it with a prayer. Amen.
- Romans 12:1,2
43. Summarize the lesson and post a prayer if you would like.
