Leviticus 9:3-6 - Then to the sons of Israel you shall speak, saying, "Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both one year old, without defect, for a burnt offering, and an ox and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD, and a grain offering mixed with oil; for today the LORD will appear to you." So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the whole congregation came near and stood before the LORD. Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded you to do, that the glory of the LORD may appear to you."
It's exciting to see the necessity of the sacrificial system back then and how it speaks to our need today. The nation of Israel was required to offer a sin sacrifice so that the glory of God would appear to them. It took a perfect, unblemished sacrifice and without it, Israel would not be in the presence of God. We also need a sin sacrifice. Without Jesus Christ's perfect sacrifice for us, we could not be with God. What a price, what a cost, only through the Lamb of God can we approach the Father's throne.
