“The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord … it is most holy” (Leviticus 6:25).
Concerning the death of Jesus, the human story is this: “the chief
priests and the teachers of the law will condemn Him to death” (Mark 10:33-34).
There is, however, also the divine side of His Story. Jesus is the
Priest who makes atonement for sin by becoming the sin offering. He came
“to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Those
who have been redeemed by the Lord are to live as those who are being
sanctified by Him. Scripture teaches us about sanctification by showing
us what we are not to be (Proverbs 6:12-19) as well as what we are to be.
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
