Daily Bible - Nothing But the Best
Today's reading is found in Leviticus 4:1 to 6:30.
The sin and guilt offerings are described in detail here. Note that only an offering without a blemish may be used. God doesn't want our second-best. Only the best will do. That is why Jesus had to live a sin-free life and why our sins must be atoned for. Who do you know anyone who is blameless? I can't think of anyone, either.
Next came other versions of offering. I've been wondering about something. Why doesn't God seem to like yeast? Was it around before sin entered our nature or did it come about with the thistles and weeds?

I've wondered about that myself. There is that one time where Jesus says the Kingdom of Heaven is like leaven, but all other mentions of leaven give it bad connotations. I've heard some people say that even the gospel analogy about leaven is about corruption in the church. Leaven works secretly, it influences everything.
