2 Timothy 4 A Crown of Righteousness Awaits, Leviticus 1 & 2

Ch 4:

Paul urges Timothy to fulfill his calling - to preach the Word, to do so discharging all the duties of His ministry.

Paul is aware of the past  - He cannot change what has gone, but also sure of the future.  He knows the day is coming when God will judge all.

Leviticus 1

The 2 outstanding features of the burnt offering:
Without defect v3, 10
Pleasing to the Lord v9, 13

The burnt offering was to make atonement for their sins (v4), it was to please the Lord, (v9, 13, 17).

Heb 7:26 shows that Jesus is the blameless sacrifice, possessing perfection.

The fellowship offering sacrificed blood, showing devotion to the Lord.  Every part was offered to the Lord, with none remaining.  Is this the way I come to God?
