Leviticus 1-10: Sacrifice

(1, 6) What was the purpose of the burnt offering (1:4, see also Exodus 29:38-42)?  How does this point to Jesus (Hebrews 7:27)?

How much of the offering was to be consumed on the altar – given to God (1:9)?  How does this point to Jesus, and how does it relate to us (Philippians 2:5-8, Romans 12:1)?  What would it look like for us to do this?

(2, 6) What was the purpose of the grain offering (2:2), and how does Jesus accomplish this purpose for us (Hebrews 7:25)?

How does this offering point to the Holy Spirit (2:1, Luke 4:18, II Corinthians 1:21-22)?

What must not be included in the grain offering (2:11)?  How does that point to Jesus (Hebrews 4:15), and to how we should live (I Corinthians 5:6-8)?

(3, 7) What was the purpose of the peace offering (7:11-16), and how does it point to Jesus (Romans 5:1, Colossians 1:20-22)?

(4-7) What was the purpose of the sin and guilt offerings (note the regular refrain in these verses), and how does it point to Jesus (II Corinthians 5:21, I Peter 2:24, Colossians 2:13)?

(8-9) What did the priests have to do before they could offer sacrifices for the people?  How is Jesus a better high priest (Hebrews 7:26-27)?

(8-10) What refrain runs through chapter 8-9?  In stark contrast, what happens at the beginning of chapter 10 (v1)?  What does this tell us about how we should approach God?  What does this look like?
