Tribe Levi Series: Kris Vos January 2/3: Tribe Levi: Sacrifice Big Idea: OT animal sacrifices help us understand the depth of God’s grace through the atoning sacrifice of Christ. Thoughts on Sacrifice/Atonement: -Ritual is a bridging mechanism that spans a gap between people that could not ordinarily interact. -God gives the details for various reasons. (“slit the throat” – less suffering for the animal; kill first then spread the blood – common sense) -The goal of the ritual is atonement which is a sweet aroma to God. -The hand is laid on the head of the animal to symbolize transferring of guilt to the animal. -the sacrificial system was God’s “altar call” to his people.  The brought a tangible sign of their dependence on Him and their desire to be with Him. Take home:  What does our worship cost us? Celebrate Communion.  Do we desire to connect with God as He requires or do we chafe at his requirements?

The close connection between heaven and earth is revealed in their brief prayer of praise. Our desperate search for peace on earth is bound by what we have at our disposal rather than the rich resources of heaven! The angels exist to give glory to God…what does a lifelong pursuit of God’s glory look like for us? Take home:  Let’s learn to live all of life with a view toward heaven.

Mary believes though she is an unlikely candidate. She is young and a woman yet in short order she accepts whatever God has for her. “Who am I” is her humble reflection Not so much what Mary does as what is done to her to bring salvation Take home:  Your so-called small life becomes huge when attached to God.
