Leviticus 8:19 NLT
“and Moses slaughtered it. Then Moses took the ram’s blood and splattered it against all sides of the altar.”
All sides of the altar
Today’s referenced scripture provides valuable insights into the two crucial tasks that Moses completed. Firstly, he was instructed to slaughter a ram, which holds significant spiritual significance. This particular assignment teaches us about the finished work of Christ, who shed His blood to cleanse us of our sins and provide us with ultimate redemption and restoration with God. The shedding of the ram’s blood symbolizes the sacrifice Jesus made for us, which was necessary to atone for our sins and reconcile us with God.
Secondly, Moses was tasked with splattering the ram’s blood on all sides of the altar, which had to be done periodically. This act was a critical part of the ceremonial rituals performed in the Old Testament. However, thanks to Jesus, who offered Himself as the propitiation for our sins, we no longer need to make such sacrifices. The blood of Jesus, which was shed on the cross, is the ultimate and final sacrifice that atoned for our sins once and for all.
Therefore, through Jesus’s ultimate sacrifice, we can trust His finished work and have complete confidence in our salvation. We no longer need to rely on the shedding of animal blood to atone for our sins; instead, we can turn to Jesus and trust in His righteousness to cover our sins and make us pure in the eyes of God. This is the ultimate gift that Jesus has given us, and we should be forever grateful for His sacrifice on our behalf.
Prayer
Dear God, thank You for sending Jesus to die for me. Because of this sacrifice, I can receive forgiveness and be restored in my relationship with You. I pray that I will never take this offer for granted but will always cherish it. I pray all of this in Jesus’s name. Amen.
