Drawing Near to God (Leviticus 1-7)

  • Opening Thoughts

    • The New Testament on “Jesus died (as an atoning sacrifice) for our sins” –

    • The first quarter of Leviticus is all about sacrifices, so we’re going to devote two sessions to it.

  • General Reflections on Levitical Sacrifices

    • God invites us _______ into his ________.

    • Drawing near to ________ must not be taken _______.

    • __________ provides sacrifices of “__________” as our way back in.

Questions for Reflection and Discussion:

  1. James 4:8 instructs us to “draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” If someone asked you how to actually do this, what would you tell them?
  2. Similarly, if a nonbeliever asked you to explain the common claim that “Jesus died for our sins,” how would you break this down?
  3. If you have not read through Leviticus 1-7, do so. If (or when) you have, what is your general impression of these chapters? What details stand out to you? What do you hope is explained in the next session?
  4. Why might it be important to understand all the aspects of “atonement” rather than just focusing on one thing and ignoring or forgetting the rest?
