Haven’t posted in a couple of days and probably will not post much while going through the book of Leviticus. Although this book is packed with ritual laws and ceremonies, I think it probably deserves its own blog just to go through the laws and rituals that directly point to New Testament principals and most importantly, point to Jesus Christ revealed in the New Covenant. One of the Sacrifices that directly point to the New Testament is the Burnt Offering that was to be done before any other offering mentioned in Leviticus could be done or else nothing else that was offered up would be accepted.
The Burnt Offering where everything of the sacrificial bull was placed on the alter and burned up completely is paralleled in,
Romans 12:1-2 NIV Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. (2) Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Burning up for Jesus!
