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? Crossroads Community Church no no
