Blood


Mo. 5/20/13: Leviticus 17:3 – 4                    Is there guilt in killing animals?
“Whatever man of the house of Israel who kills an ox or lamb or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, and does not bring it to the door of the tabernacle of meeting to offer an offering to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord, the guilt of bloodshed shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people …
Is there guilt in killing animals? Yes, if the blood was shed was not offered to the Lord.
Tu. 5/21/13: Leviticus 17:5                  What purpose was there in this?
…to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field, that they may bring them to the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, to the priest, and offer them as peace offerings to the Lord.
What purpose was there in this? No more offerings in the fields.
We. 5/22/13: Leviticus 17:6 – 7                  Why was this important?
And the priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and burn the fat for a sweet aroma to the Lord. They shall no more offer their sacrifices to demons, after whom they have played the harlot. This shall be a statute forever for them throughout their generations.”’
Why was this important? No more offerings to demons.
Th. 5/23/13: Leviticus 17:11                  What is blood?
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’
What is blood? Blood is the life of the flesh: it atones or covers sin.
Fr. 5/24/13: Colossians 1:19 – 20                  What is the reconciliation?
For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
What is the reconciliation? Peace with God is only through the blood of Christ’s cross.
