Leviticus 1: 1, 2, “And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.”
Exodus tells us how the Lord established His people with their ceremonial religion so that they could be His people and could have a way of dealing with their sin. However, this wasn’t the end of the story, it was just the beginning. They were given these divine procedures so that they could live a full and satisfying life to the glory of God. Day by day they could come to the Lord and offer him gifts from the bountiful things that He had already given them. The Lord gave them out of His own abundance and they could give back a part of what He gave them and keep far more for themselves. The Lord calls people today under the same circumstance. His calling is not the end point but the beginning of a rich and enjoyable life lived in relationship with Him.
