In Leviticus 1-2, we see God establish a system of sacrifices to prepare His people to worship Him properly and deal with sin. The theme is “Worship Matters.” The sacrificial system showed that sin is serious and must be paid for—even unintentional sins. These sacrifices remind us that God is holy and cannot ignore sin, but they also point us toward Jesus, who became the ultimate sacrifice to take away sin permanently. Offering the best animals or grain demonstrated that worship should cost us something and involve effort. This is a challenge to give God our best in everything, trusting Him as our provider through offerings like the grain's “first fruits.” Today, we don’t need animal sacrifices because Jesus redeemed us, but we’re still called to bring the best of our time, talents, and resources to honour God in worship and to demonstrate gratitude.
