Faith Requires Risk - Will You Trust God This Rosh Hashanah?

04/10/2025

The book of Exodus describes God’s miraculous delivery of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Now, the Lord desired that they, as a free people, learn how to be in relationship with the Holy God who rescued them. The Torah portion Vayikra (“Then He Called,” Leviticus 1:1–5:26) describes just how God’s chosen people were to do that—through a meticulous set of guidelines focusing on animal sacrifices.

Through these five types of sacrifices, the people could: confess their sins and devote their lives to God (burnt offering), praise Him and thank Him (grain offering), enjoy peace and fellowship with the Lord (peace offering), and receive forgiveness for various types of sins (sin offering and guilt offering). However, God never intended to stop there!

The Bible speaks of a Deliverer (the Messiah) that would one day come, not only to set Jewish people free from sin, put the law in the heart, and give a heavenly hope, but importantly, to allow non-Jewish people salvation as well.

Although the sacrifices served their purpose, they foreshadowed Jesus the Messiah, who would usher in a “better covenant” (Hebrews 7:22, 10:10).

Please note:
·The animal had to be spotless. (Jesus was without sin and blameless.)
·The Israelites had to lay their hand on the head of the animal and identify with the animal. (Believers should identify with Jesus, acknowledging that it ought to have been us who died instead of Him.)
·The Israelites had to kill the animal themselves. (It was our sins that put Jesus on the cross.)
·The sacrifices only provided a temporary “covering” of sin and needed to be performed over and over, every time the Israelite sinned (Hebrews 10:1–4). (Jesus “entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption” for those who have trusted in Him [Hebrews 9:12b]).

The sacrifices in this section, while appropriate for the Israelites at that time, ultimately pointed to Jesus, who came to bring salvation to whoever trusts in Him.
