Be Ready

In today’s OT reading  God is speaking to Moses on how he should instruct their sacrifices to Him. He explains to Moses the things the offerer must do as well as the things the offerer can’t do and the priest must. In these first three chapters of Leviticus God give Moses the detailed in structionon the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the fellowship offering.

That brings us to our NT reading for today. Jesus is speaking about the end times and His coming back. Jesus explains that no one knows when these events will take place but assures us that they will. Jesus said: (Matt. 24:42) “Therefore be alert, since you don’t know what day you Lord is coming. He follows by saying: (Matt. 24: 43-44)  “But know this: If the home owner had know what time the thief was coming, he would have stayed alert and not let his house be broken into. This is why you must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”(emphasis added)

I really don’t beleive I can say this or explain this better that the Lord has already done, so let us just meditate on the words of our Lord.

What is the relevance of the burnt, grain and peace offerings to our lives today? How do they lead us to Christ? Why were the instructions so specific about each of the body parts? Why were the priests instructed to throw the blood against the sides of the altar? Why did he say not to burn leaven or honey? What is the significance of the salt?
