Today's Reading From Leviticus 6-7; Matthew 25.1-30
The Back to the Bible OT and NT Together Reading Plan

Leviticus 6 continues to speak of offerings with restitution (5.14-6.7), the Law of burnt offering; law of grain offering; law of sin offering

Why is there a repetition or elaboration. Because God wants the people to be careful how they do these offerings. They are a holy ritual to God. Again these offerings are symbolic of Jesus Christ.

Leviticus 7 speaks of the law of trespass offering, the law of peace offering (v. 11-21), the people could not eat the fat and the blood from the offerings (v. 22-27), a portion of the offerings given to Aaron and his sons (v. 28-38).

Why is there a repetition or elaboration. Because God wants the people to be careful how they do these offerings. They are a holy ritual to God. Again these offerings are symbolic of Jesus Christ. The fat was burnt to give a sweet savory offering to God and there is lif in the blood, symbolic of Christ's blood shed for us.

Matt 25.1-30

Matt 25, Commentaries, verse by verse


Jesus spoke two parables: The parable of the ten virgins (v. 1-13) and the parable of the talents (v. 14-30).



Application


Again, the theme is when He returns how his disciples (we Christian)receive Him? Will we be like the foolish virgins who was NOT prepared to meet Him or like the wise virgins who was prepared to meet Him. In the story of the talents, the servants who had the five and two talents met their Master with a doubling of thier income, while the one who had the one talent hid it. In this parable it seemed they all expected the master back. However, it was the attitude that was different among the one who had one talent and the others who had the two and five talents. So when He comes back will he find us awake and prepared to meet Him and hear Him say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
