A bull is sacrificed for sin, and a ram is offered as a burnt offering. Blood is placed on the altar, and the offering is completely given to God. Sin must be dealt with first. Dedication follows forgiveness. Nothing is held back from God. God’s servants must be cleansed before they can serve. We don’t serve God to be forgiven, we serve because He forgives.

It reads in Exodus 29:10–18 Easy: “Then bring the bull to that place at the front of the Meeting Tent. Aaron and his sons must put their hands on the bull’s head. Then kill the bull there in the Lord’s presence at the entrance to the Meeting Tent. Then take some of the bull’s blood and go to the altar. Use your finger to put some blood on the horns of the altar. Pour out all the blood that is left at the bottom of the altar. Then take all the fat from inside the bull, the fatty part of the liver, both kidneys, and the fat around them. Burn this fat on the altar. Then take the bull’s meat, his skin, and his other parts and go outside your camp and burn them. This bull is an offering to take away the sins of the priests. “Then tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of one of the rams. Kill that ram and save the blood. Throw the blood against the altar on all four sides. Then cut the ram into several pieces. Wash all the parts from inside the ram and the legs. Put these things with the head and the other pieces of the ram. Then burn everything on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord. It is a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord.

Father God, cleanse us as You cleansed the priests. Remove every sin that keeps us from serving You with a whole heart. Teach us to lay our lives on Your altar in full surrender, holding nothing back. Let our thoughts, our work, and our walk be devoted to You. May our lives rise before You as a pleasing offering, set apart for Your purpose and Your glory. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
