Leviticus 5-7
As God spells out the regulations for various sacrifices and offerings, I noticed that the priests were to eat the sin offering. It occurs to me that this has not changed. Under the new covenant, all Christians are priests. Jesus established a sacrament that these new priests have been taking part in since the inception of the church. Every week we eat the bread, representing the sin offering given through the sacrifice of God's perfect Lamb. We eat the flesh and drink the blood as we surround the Lord's table. The primary difference is that our sacrifice is of greater value, the effect being eternal. The beauty is that this perfect Lamb of God is also our High Priest!
