· 6 viewsA Sermon on Leviticus and Numbers focusing on how we fall short (6) of God (7) and how following the 613 commandments (-1) kept offsetting the yearly sacrifice (+1) because Israel kept Taking Back their Sins. Jesus offers a Final Sacrifice (+1) that permanently erases the penalty of sin (+1), but we have to make sure that we aren't taking back sins that Jesus has already taken away.
