In Leviticus 6, we get a picture of the reparation offering. There were many offenses that constituted having to make such an offering and they fell under two main categories.
There was also a debt to pay before making your offering. Your fellow neighbor was to receive restitution plus 20% for your wrongdoing. A person bringing a trespass offering was essentially making amends for some action that had caused loss or damage to God (and/or someone else).
Under the New Covenant, Jesus’ forgiveness empowers us to make amends with those we have wronged as both a conviction from God as well as a celebration of Jesus’ sacrifice.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Matthew 6:12 NASB
“Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.”
Matthew 5:23-24 NASB
However, we also find that the reparation offering was completely satisfied in Jesus’ sacrifice for us. Though we violate this command often, the grace of Jesus covers our offense and calls us forward to live in freedom from sin. Jesus is not only the perfect reparation offering, but He is also the perfect burnt offering, peace offering, and purification offering.
When you think about all the different offenses and offerings that God required of His people, you begin to understand the gravity of sin and the immense sacrifice that Jesus undertook. His death and resurrection paid it all.
Your redemption was not bought for a cheap price! Jesus paid it all!
