Title Blessing the People (Leviticus 9:15-24)
No matter what country, nation, or tribe in the world, each has its own religion and worship.
I did.
In addition, the content and form of worship are varied in various forms.
From worshiping the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, there are also peoples who worship cows, elephants, and monkeys as gods.
There is.
Worshiping old trees such as old trees, big rocks, or mountains, and the wind or time
There are also peoples who create and worship a virtual god.
And there are various forms of worship, that is, the method of sacrifice.
Every year, in the name of offering to the gods, catch a little girl and offer it as a sacrifice, so that she can escape the disaster.
There is a way to do it, and wherever you go, whenever there is a set time, you can go to Mecca from the spot.
They bow down ten times and express their worship of their gods.
Today, we worship the living God, God the Creator, and the God who comes as Judge.
We worship and worship in spirit and in truth. How faithful and devoted to worship?
Are you giving it to me?
In theology, so-called worship studies are taught and taught for one semester, but how do we
Are you offering a boat?
In that sense, Leviticus 9 can be said to be the textbook of worship we give to God.
We want to learn together how to teach worship and share grace.
1. Worship has the thrill of salvation.
Our worship is completely different from other worldly and idolatrous worship.
There is the grace of forgiveness of sins and the thrill of salvation.
(Leviticus 9:2) And he said to Aaron, "Take a calf without blemish for a sin offering, and a ram without blemish for a burnt offering.
take it and offer it to the LORD."
“(Leviticus 9:8) So Aaron went to Dan and slaughtered the calf for the sin offering for himself.”
“(Leviticus 9:15) And he offered the people’s gift, and he took the goat of the sin offering for the people, and slaughtered it…”
In this worship before God, there is atonement, the forgiveness of sins, and the thrill of salvation through the forgiveness of sins.
There is this.
There is no worship in the world where there is forgiveness of sins.
All they ask for is simple consolation, trickery, or averting disaster.
However, there is salvation as much as worship to God.
There is atonement.
And the joy, emotion, strength, and courage that can open a new future arise.
The fact that Jesus was crucified and that He was obedient to the point of death by the shedding of blood is all our
It is the grace that was granted for the remission of transgressions.
(Hebrews 9:22) According to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is remission.
None"
(Ephesians 1:7) In Christ we have redemption through his blood, according to the riches of his grace,
My sins have been forgiven."
“(Acts 10:43) … it is said that all who believe in him receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”
In this way, in the worship we offer, there is redemption, forgiveness of sins, and the joy and thrill of salvation.
2. Worship involves sacrifice and dedication.
If there is one process that we must go through before we come before God, the ten
Self and blood.
Our worship is not simply bowing down before creation and offering blessings, but it also includes sacrifice and devotion.
There was a process.
"(Leviticus 9:10) The fat of the sin offering, the kidneys, and..."
(Leviticus 9:12) And Aaron slaughtered the burnt offering again, and Aaron's sons brought the blood to him.
and sprinkled the blood around the altar."
“(Leviticus 9:16) And offer burnt offerings, according to the custom.”
“(Leviticus 9:18) And they slaughtered the bulls and rams of the peace offerings for the people…”
Just as there was a burnt offering before we came before God, so we also sacrificed before God.
It must be given with dedication and dedication.
You must do your best in your duties and missions and spare no effort and dedication.
shouldn't
Is God pleased with the worship service of sacrifice, in which all that I have is freely offered before God?
All.
The reason is that in him the glory of God will be revealed, and the glory of God will be revealed to us.
because of.
“(Leviticus 9:4) … today the Lord will appear to you.”
"(Leviticus 9:6) And Moses said, This is what the LORD has commanded you to do;
This will appear to you."
(Leviticus 9:23) Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting and came out to bless the people, and the glory of the Lord was
appear to all the people."
So, for the glory of God, for the glory that is revealed to us, we
You must worship.
3. There are blessings and answers in worship.
God's grace is granted through answers to prayer.
There is an answer to our worship, and that answer is a blessing.
(Leviticus 9:22) And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people and blessed them, filling the sin offerings, the burnt offerings, and the peace offerings.

(Leviticus 9:23) Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting and came out to bless the people, and the glory of the Lord was
appear to all the people."
(Leviticus 9:24) And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the oil on the altar, and all the people saw it.
He cried and fell on his face."
As long as we worship God in spirit and truth, blessings, grace, and answers to prayers will naturally follow.
You have to believe in Rao.
When the glory of the Lord has appeared on all the people, it is said that fire will come out and consume the burnt offering and the oil in the units.
Writing is a sign of answers to prayer.
There is nothing more sad and disappointing than having a worship service without answers or blessings.
For worship without any response, no response, no breath is a sacrifice to the world and to the creatures of the world.
Because it has nothing to do with it.
Therefore, no matter what kind of worship we offer, we must worship with blessings and answers.
We are in the worship service where we can see the glory of God and experience answers to prayer.
For we worship the living God, the Creator, the Lord of all lords, and the King of kings.
Worship has the thrill of salvation.
Worship involves sacrifice and dedication.
Worship has blessings and answers to prayers.
Let's reveal God's glory and see God's glory through worship in spirit and truth.
Hallelujah!
