Sacrifice

 In Leviticus 1-10, the Lord lays out His expectation for acceptable sacrifices. 

Which animals or flour, what parts of the animals are to be sacrificed and in which order, what is to be done with the remains, etc. 

In each instance there includes a priest, an offering and an "offerer" which was pointed out to me as I studied here, in a student study guide. 

I thought about this in my own life, how I am some times giving an offering, whether it be a broken heart or a contrite spririt, maybe a shopping trip on Sunday, whatever. Who would be the priest? My Savior? He is of course the reason I make those sacrifices. 

But then I came across this quote: 

"What, then, is the offering? what the priest? what the offerer? Christ is the offering, Christ is the priest, Christ is the offerer. (Jukes, Law of the Offerings, pp. 44–45.)"

While I do not completely understand this, I realize that nothing I can give can make up for the wrong things that I have done. I do not have enough to give! But Christ does. He did offer himself, a perfect sacrifice, so that He can make up for the things that I have done. His Atonement was an "infinite sacrifice."
