[Today: Leviticus 5] Receive Cleansing, Move on in Victory. Many times sin and failure cause us to withdraw from God in shame. In the Old Covenant and the New, every transgression was an occasion of moving toward God and not away from Him. When we fail, we are to come TO God, offering Jesus as our trespass offering. In Leviticus 5, Moses receives further instruction regarding the sin offering. There are consecration offerings, peace offerings, and sin offerings as part of Hebrew worship in the tent of the tabernacle. Each one of these involves sacrificial blood. Blood is always the basis of approach to God. When a Hebrew offered sacrificial blood, it speaks to who Jesus is to you and of God's response toward you regarding every sin or shortcoming in our lives. God's response when you fail is not to pounce on you to punish you. He continually comes toward you in love resolving every conflict between you and Him by the shed blood of Christ.
