Leviticus 5 — Sketch

Unintentional Sin

Big Idea:

• Guilt offerings—for unintentional sins—can be female lambs or goats.

• The poor may use doves instead. One is a sin offering, and its blood is sprinkled on the altar. The other is a burnt offering.

• If doves can’t be afforded, flour with oil and incense can be used.

• A flawless ram must be offered for unintentional sin.

Jesus:

• The sacrifices of the animals were a symbol for the ultimate sacrifice that would be made by Jesus centuries later.

• I think it’s really beautiful that the poor have multiple options. It shows God’s unconditional love in his desire to have a relationship with everyone, regardless of their circumstances.
