““Now if any of the common people sins unintentionally by violating one of the Lord’s commands, does what is prohibited, and incurs guilt, or if someone informs him about the sin he has committed, then he is to bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for the sin that he has committed. He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.”
Leviticus 4:27-29 CSB
Interesting that there is a whole chapter dedicated to sacrificing for people who unintentionally sin, but someone tells them about it. Obviously when it domes to sin, ignorance is not absolution…you are still guilty of sin if it had been committed! This is an example where Gods standards are so much higher than ours.
I am so thankful that God points this out, because I think it is easy to slip into shrinking God down to our size, or making Him like us, only a little better…but there really is no comparison! He is incomparable to us, just so much higher and more holy.
Lord, thank You for caring enough about me to make a way for relationship with You. And thank You that because of Jesus, the process is so much simpler. Lord, help me to trust You at every moment of life!
