Promise 2 from Leviticus 4:20c, 26b, 31c, 35d, 5:10b,13a,16b

Lev. 4:20c, 26b, 31c, 35d, 5:10, 13a and 16b - "So the priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it will be forgiven him." - The sons of Israel were instructed by God, through Moses, to bring their sin and guilt offerings to the priest so that he could bring he and she who has blame back to "oneness" with Him who is blameless, through the shedding of blood and the lifting up of a fragrance of that which is the sacrificial offering. There is a clear picture of the parallel between the animal sacrifices and Jesus' death. Jesus' blood was spilt and then He Himself became the fragrant aroma of sacrifice that rose up to the Heavenly Father, so that we who are at blame may become at "one" with Him who is blameless. I love the fact that God has always provided a way for His People to be restored to Him in righteousness. He made the way easy for man to be connected with Him. His promise has always been, "If you give yourself to Me, 'you shall be forgiven!'" He delights in being "at one" with His children.
