The burnt offering, as detailed in Leviticus, serves as a profound teaching tool, revealing the complete devotion to God that pleases Him. It is not concerned with sin or atonement for sin but focuses on how life is lived in submission to God's will. In this offering, God is satisfied because the offerer meets His requirements through a righteous way of life, thus showing the offerer as accepted. The burnt offering embodies sacrificial living, where worship is expressed through the offering of everyday life to God. Loyal devotion in every labor of life is the most satisfying and acceptable response we can give to Him. The imagery within the burnt offering includes the bullock, symbolizing patient, untiring labor in service to others; the lamb, representing passive, uncomplaining submission even in suffering; the turtledove and pigeon, depicting mourning innocence, meekness, and humility; and the male goat, illustrating strong-mindedness and leadership, though often with a tendency toward haughtiness. In the burnt offering, we see Christ as both the offering and the offerer, exemplifying total devotion to God's purpose. His life of complete holiness and unwavering commitment sets the example for us to follow. We are called to imitate this devotion, striving to live with the same dedication to our Father's way, becoming living sacrifices in our daily actions. Furthermore, the burnt offering highlights Christ's role as our High Priest, interceding on our behalf. The operations of the priest in the offering, such as washing the parts with water, emphasize that everyone, regardless of capability, needs the assistance of our High Priest. Through His representative acts, not in His death for sin but in His sinless life, we are accepted before God with the same measure of acceptance as if we were Christ Himself. At the same time, He remains our example, urging us to pursue a life of total devotion to God.
