全书简介
1写作背景: 本书是神赐给祂子民的“敬拜与圣洁生活手册”。
2全书主题：中心信息是：“你们要圣洁，因为我是圣洁的。”
3属灵意义：书中的祭物、祭司和赎罪日都预表了耶稣基督的救赎工作。

一、神呼召人亲近祂（1:1-2）
神从会幕中呼叫摩西，表明祂主动向人启示自己，并为人预备亲近祂的道路。献祭不是人的宗教行为，而是神恩典的安排，使有罪的人可以借着祂所设立的方法来到祂面前。

今天，我们也是因着基督的救赎，才能坦然来到神施恩的宝座前。不是靠自己的努力，而是因为神主动施恩，并借着耶稣基督为我们开了一条又新又活的路。

神要透过我们这些已经蒙恩得洁净的人，去呼唤罪人回转，领受羔羊代罪，救赎之恩。你我都这被召的见证人啊！（当更多人回应神的呼召而亲近祂的时候，“城市转化”的神迹也就发生了。）

二、全然献上的燔祭（1:3-9）
燔祭必须献上没有残疾的祭牲，并且全部焚烧归给神，象征完全奉献、毫无保留。这祭物也预表耶稣基督无瑕无疵的生命，为世人完全献上自己。神同样呼召信徒，不只是献上外在的礼物，更要把整个生命献给祂，成为馨香的活祭。

神配得我们最好的献上。信徒不仅奉献财物，更应把自己的生活、时间和恩赐完全献给神，活出委身的生活。正如《加拉太书2:20》“我已经与基督同钉十字架，现在活着的不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着；并且我如今在肉身活着，是因信　神的儿子而活，他是爱我，为我舍己。”
（我们都是全时间为主而活的人不是吗？）

三、神悦纳甘心奉献（1:10-13）
神容许百姓献羊或山羊作燔祭，显明祂顾念不同人的能力和处境。无论祭物大小，只要按照神的心意、凭着信心献上，都能蒙神悦纳。神看重的不是人的财富，而是一颗愿意顺服和爱祂的心，因此每个人都能参与敬拜和奉献。

神不比较我们的能力大小，只看我们是否甘心乐意。无论恩赐多寡，都可以成为神所喜悦的奉献。

四、神恩典向人开放（1:14-17）
对于贫穷的人，神允许他们献上斑鸠或雏鸽作为燔祭，显明没有人会因贫穷而失去亲近神的机会。神的恩典不分贫富贵贱，只要怀着真诚敬畏的心来到祂面前，都能成为祂所喜悦的“馨香之祭”。只要记得除去一切污秽，包括暂时储存未消化的食物之“鸟嗉子”（V16）。这也预表基督的救恩向所有人敞开，每一个愿意相信祂的人都可以得蒙接纳。

神看重的是一颗清洁爱祂、谦卑顺服祂的心。即使能力有限，只要真心献上，也能成为神眼中“馨香之祭”。

总结：人对神的首要回应就是敬拜
燔祭预表耶稣基督完全顺服父神，为世人献上自己；也提醒今天的信徒：敬拜需要真诚与顺服、奉献应当毫无保留。神悦纳的是甘心献上的生命，而非外在的价值。人因神所预备的代赎得以亲近祂，并当以全然奉献的敬拜生命回应神完全的爱。



  

Leviticus 1 Worship in Total Surrender
 GK611 Morning Devotion 
30.06.2026 
Speaker: Rev David Tan


 Introduction to the Book
1. Background: This book is a ‘manual on worship and holy living’ given by God to His people.
2. Theme: The central message of the book is: ‘Be holy, for I AM HOLY.’
3. Spiritual Significance: The sacrifices, the priesthood, and the Day of Atonement all foreshadow the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

I. God Calls People to Draw Near to Him (1:1–2) 
God called Moses from the Tabernacle, demonstrating that He takes the initiative in revealing Himself to people and preparing a way for them to draw near to Him. The offering of sacrifices is not a religious act performed by man, but an arrangement of God’s grace, enabling sinful people to come before Him through the means He has established.

Today, we too can confidently approach the throne of grace because of Christ's redemption. We come not by our own efforts, but because God has graciously taken the initiative and, through Jesus Christ, has opened for us a new and living way.

God desires to use those of us who have been cleansed by His grace, to call sinners to repentance, so that they may receive the Lamb’s atoning grace and redemption. You and I are His called witnesses! (When more people respond to God’s call and draw near to Him, the miracle of ‘city transformation’ takes place.)

 II. A Total Surrendered Burnt Offering (1:3–9) 
A burnt offering must consist of an animal without blemish, and the entire sacrifice must be burnt as an offering to God, symbolising complete dedication without reservation. This offering also foreshadows the blameless life of Jesus Christ, who gave Himself completely for the world. God likewise calls believers not merely to offer external gifts, but to dedicate their whole lives to Him, becoming a living sacrifice, a pleasing aroma.

God deserves our very best. Believers are called not only to give their possessions but also to dedicate their lives, time, and gifts entirely to Him, living lives of wholehearted commitment. As it is written in Galatians 2:20: ‘I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
(Are we not all full-time people who live for the Lord?)

 III. God Accepts Willing Offerings (1:10–13) 
God permitted the people to offer sheep or goats as burnt offerings, demonstrating that He takes into account the varying abilities and circumstances of different individuals. Regardless of the size of the offering, as long as it is presented in accordance with God’s will and in faith, it will be accepted by Him. God does not value a person’s wealth, but rather a heart willing to obey and love Him; therefore, everyone can participate in worship and offering.

God does not compare the extent of our means; He looks only to see whether we are willing and joyful in our giving. Regardless of the size of our gifts, they can all become offerings that please God.

 IV. God’s Grace Is Open to All (1:14–17) 
For the poor, God permits them to offer a turtle dove or a young pigeon as a burnt offering, demonstrating that no one would be excluded from draw near to God because of poverty. God’s grace knows no distinction between rich and poor, noble and humble; as long as one comes before Him with a sincere and reverent heart, one’s offering can become a ‘pleasing aroma’ that pleases Him. One must simply remember to remove all impurity, including the ‘crop’—the temporary storage of undigested food (v16). This also foreshadows that Christ’s salvation is open to all; everyone who is willing to believe in Him may be accepted.

What God values is a pure heart that loves Him, and one that is humble and obedient to Him. Even with limited means, as long as it is offered sincerely, it can become a fragrant sacrifice in His sight.

 Conclusion: Man’s primary response to God is worship. 
The burnt offering points to Jesus Christ, who perfectly obeyed the Father and offered Himself completely for the salvation of the world. It also reminds believers today that true worship requires sincerity and obedience, and that our dedication to God should be without reservation.

God accepts lives that are willingly and wholeheartedly offered to Him, rather than merely outward gifts of material value. Through the atoning sacrifice that God has graciously provided, we are able to draw near to Him. Therefore, our response should be a life of wholehearted worship, fully surrendered to the One who has loved us perfectly.
