Sat.’s Devo - The Sin and the Trespass Offering

Read: Lev. 5-7
The sin offering was to cleanse the people of touching or hearing something that was unholy and would make them unclean. We are born sinners into an unclean world that is bombarded with sinful things. Jesus is the offering for our sins.
The trespass offering was for those who sinned without realizing it was sin. Maybe they didn’t realize that was a law. I’m sure that we offend the Lord daily with our lifestyles that we think are fine. Jesus’s blood makes us holy and takes care of our lack of knowledge and understanding into what is holy and what is not. This offering took away the guilt of sin. We are righteous only because of what Jesus did for us. He was the ultimate sacrifice for us. Hebrews 10 explains this to a tee. Jesus came to take away our sins and make us acceptable to God. It is too good to be true…but it is. It’s called grace!
Lord, thank you for grace!
