These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering and the fellowship offering, which the LORD gave Moses at Mount Sinai in the Desert of Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the LORD.
Leviticus 7:37-38 NIV
Wow! Seven chapters of prescriptions for different types of offerings to be given.
And to think people often complain about passing a plate once a week for an offering!
Think how they might react if we still lived under the law and had all the offerings to go through as presecribed.
This then is the Law that Jesus said, "I have fulfilled."
We can be thankful that these offerings as directed by God have been completed in the person and sacrifice of Jesus.
We now are free to give as Jesus gave of all that we have and all that we are.
Give Thanks . . . and pass the plate!
