In Scripture we learn that God chose the tribe of Levi to act as priests for the Israelites. They ministered before the Lord (1 Chron. 16:4) and were sustained by the offerings brought to fulfil the sacrificial system at the heart of Israelite worship (Leviticus 1–10). Jesus Himself came to earth and ministered as directed by God. He became the ultimate sacrifice, a declaration of love from God for His creation. Consequently, the blood sacrifice system ended on Calvary. Now, with the relationship between God and humanity restored through Jesus’ sacrifice, we are invited to bring daily offerings of prayer to God directly.
