Leviticus 5:5-7,11
And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall
confess that he hath sinned in that thing: And he shall bring his trespass
offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the
flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall
make an atonement for him concerning his sin. And if he be not able to bring a
lamb, … two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin
offering, and the other for a burnt offering. But if he be not able to bring
two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his
offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering … The
dear Lord had the Children of Israel bring a sacrifice to the Tabernacle to
remind them that sin has consequences. And to pay for sin, death must occur.
The sacrificial animal was innocent, but had to die in place of the sinner. And
God made provisions for everyone, even for the poor people. They could bring
two pigeons, which were everywhere and easy to be had. But even the poor people
had to bring a sacrifice. That is because each and every one of us are sinners.
We all need a sacrifice for sins. We all need Jesus Christ, the perfect
sacrifice for our sins.
