## Resource

If God is truly holy, how could sinful men ever approach Him? We’re studying Israel’s burnt offerings this week as we begin a new series on the Levitical sacrifices God appointed for Israel to come near and worship Him. Considering the many lessons the burnt sacrifices provide, we rejoice today knowing that Jesus is the true whole burnt offering who took on all sin with His once-and-for-all sacrifice; and in response, we surrender and consecrate ourselves to Him. What wonderful truths the burnt offerings can teach us today!
