The Lamb Who Claims Us: A Study of Leviticus 7

Beloved in Christ,

Leviticus 7 unveils the guilt offering as “most holy” (v.1) —a sacred echo of our Savior’s supreme sacrifice. Just as the spotless animal bore the sinner’s guilt, Christ —the sinless Lamb — “became sin for us” (2 Corinthians 5:21). When you read verse 1, see JESUS: the only offering whose holiness could absorb our defilement.  

The slaughter at the altar (v.2) paints Golgotha’s portrait: 

> “There the guilt was slain,

> Blood spilled on cursed ground,

> While heaven’s own Priest

> Sprinkled eternal redemption ‘round.”

Every detail proclaims Him: 

- 1. The burnt entrails (v.3-5) — Christ’s total consecration 

 2. The priest’s portion (v.7-8) — Our surrendered identity 

Ah! This last point ignites holy fire: “The priest who makes atonement shall have it” (v.7). Just as the offering became the priest’s possession, we whom Christ has atoned for now belong wholly to Him. We’re not pardoned prisoners — we’re blood-bought children (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Paul thunders this truth: “He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him!” (2 Corinthians 5:15). 

The freewill offering (v.16) reveals another mystery: God initiates, we respond. Though “no one comes unless the Father draws” (John 6:44), His call demands our willing surrender. Grace isn’t forced - it’s a gift we freely embrace (Revelation 22:17). 

A Sobering Warning:
To reject this offering meant being “cut off” (v.20-21). Today, the stakes remain eternal: 

> “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (John 3:36) 

Pray with Me:

> “Lord Jesus, most holy Offering, I confess: my guilt required Your blood. I surrender: my life is now Your portion. Own me completely, live through me eternally. “Amen.”
