sacrifice and song

IMG_03841 Chronicles 6

The Levites (along with the tribe of Judah) are given the central part of this genealogical record.  They were assigned the two aspects of worship before and during the Israelite monarchy: sacrifice and song.  The song was the human expression of God’s worth-ship.  The sacrifices were a message from God to the worshippers.  It spoke of the serious nature of sin, but also of a God who seeks reconciliation.  Unlike the sacrifices of the other nations, those of the Mosaic law were not a means of manipulating God.  They were symbols of grace.  God provides the lamb for the sacrifice.

LORD, we worship you because you are worth it.  You have provided your own solution to the sin problem in Christ.  thank you for your grace.
