The sin offering was different because female lambs were offered for this offering. Cute and innocent, they paid the ultimate price for someone else's sin. Here we are given opportunity to reflect on the pain our sin causes others and the forgiveness we have in Christ.

Mark's gospel is short, sweet and to the point! We see Jesus winning the victory over the dark spiritual forces of the world. This is good news for us, especially when it seems God is slow in answering our prayers.

The Old Testament sacrifices were bloody and personal. The act of laying one's hand on the head of the sacrificial animal as it was slain was a personal connection. We will be introduced to a small flock of goats to feel a small measure of this powerful connection.

We consider how the grain offering was a literal first-fruits offering to the Lord. When God's people gave a portion of their grain, their sustenance, they were trusting God with their livelihood. When we give, we give God opportunity to bless us, just as we bless Him with our gifts.

The faithful women who had attended Jesus through his death and burial returned to the tomb early Easter morning and were blessed to be the first witnesses of Jesus's resurrection. He had kept all His promises! The angel told them to, "go and tell the disciples." At the end of the gospel, Jesus encourages all His disciples to, "go and tell." But we go not without His help. Matthew's gospel ends with one more great promise of Christ's enduring presence that we hold onto today.

When Jesus died, darkness covered the earth, the curtain in the Temple that divided God's presence from men was torn and the dead were raised. At these events, the Centurion declared Jesus to be the very Son of God. We too praise Him for finishing the work of our salvation for us. He was laid in the tomb, sanctifying death as our way to the Father.

The holy robes God gave Aaron and the High Priests was a splendid foreshadowing of how all God's people will be adorned in glory. He wore jewels and a holy crown to remind God's people of how special they are to God. This because God clothes us in love, even when we don't deserve it.
