One Year Bible: Day 60 - Leviticus 5:14-7:10; Mark 10:32-52; Proverbs 6:12-19

“The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord … it is most holy” (Leviticus 6:25). Concerning the death of Jesus, the human story is this: “the chief priests and the teachers of the law will condemn Him to death” (Mark 10:33-34). There is, however, also the divine side of His Story. Jesus is the Priest who makes atonement for sin by becoming the sin offering. He came “to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Those who have been redeemed by the Lord are to live as those who are being sanctified by Him. Scripture teaches us about sanctification by showing us what we are not to be (Proverbs 6:12-19) as well as what we are to be.
