The Surrender of the Burnt Offering: A Lesson from Leviticus

n this video, I walk through Leviticus and highlight how God's instructions aren't just religious rules but a way for His people to draw near to Him. I focus on the burnt offering in Leviticus 1, where the entire sacrifice is consumed on the altar—nothing held back. Then I connect this to Romans 12, where Paul calls us to present ourselves as living sacrifices. I challenge us to examine if we're truly surrendering our everyday lives—our relationships, finances, plans, and future—or just our eternity. I ask us to wrestle with what complete surrender looks like and whether there's something we've never placed on the altar. I remind us that this surrender isn't to earn God's love but to respond to the way He's already made for us to come near.
