Leviticus 1 — Be holy as the LORD is holy: What are burnt offerings?

Rev. John Lukomski, co-host of Wrestling with the Basics on KFUO Radio joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Leviticus 1. Find Wrestling with the Basics at kfuo.org/WrestlingWithTheBasics. The hymn, “Not all the blood of beasts” sums up Leviticus chapter 1 for us today, “Not all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain Could give the guilty conscience peace Or wash away the stain But Christ, the heav’nly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they.” LSB, #431 “Lord God, the old burnt offering of a blameless male was not a pretty sight, but was pleasing to You. As Christ’s sacrifice was not a pretty sight, we give thanks that by it You are well pleased on account of the final sacrifice that washes our sins away. Keep us in Your holiness by the blood of Christ. Amen”
