July 7, 2014 – Sweet Savor Offerings
A side trip to talk about the Offerings. Sweet Savor offerings signify acceptance.
Ephesians 5:1-2
II Cor. 2:14-16 – Christ could not have been the sin offering if he were not first acceptable as the burnt offering, without blemish. Shed blood means a death happens. We must accept our own death.
The altar is the table of God.
The variety of offerings were dove, goat, bullock—the bullock being the highest offering; the smaller animals were sometimes confused with the trespass offering.
Psalm 49:18 – to “Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.” But we no longer eat whata the world eats.
Rev. 3:20 – Behold I stand at the door and knock…
Sin and trespass offerings were required. Sweet savor offerings were voluntary, a celebration of acceptance.
