1. Daily, Sabbath and Monthly offerings (1-15)

God wanted his people to worship him each morning and evening, each Sabbath and each month. Through the regular offering of sacrifices him, God's people acknowledged his goodness and his sovereignty. God wants us to thank him. The animal sacrifices were for the atonement of sin. They point to Jesus the Lamb of God. His death for the sins of the world validates all past blood sacrifices and makes future ones obsolete. The animals offered to God were to be without defect (31c). God does not want leftovers--he wants the best. Jesus was the sinless Lamb without blemish (Jn 1:29; 1Pe 1:18,19).

2. The Passover and the Feast of Weeks (16-31)

These two great feast days taught the people to have a sense of history and a thankful heart. The Passover was a celebration of their deliverance from Egypt; the Feast of Weeks (later called the feast of Pentecost) was to thank God and offer to him the firstfruits of the harvest. God's people should come together to worship him.

Application: Lord, help me to remember your grace and give thanks to you every day.
One Word: Worship and thank God daily
