5For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields. They are to bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and offer them as sacrifices of peace to the LORD. 6The priest will then sprinkle the blood on the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
7They must no longer offer their sacrifices to the goat demons to which they have prostituted themselves. This will be a permanent statute for them for the generations to come.’
8Tell them that if anyone from the house of Israel or any foreigner living among them offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice 9but does not bring it to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to the LORD, that man must be cut off from his people.
Jesus is our permanent statute and He willingly went to the cross as the final sacrifice, spilling His blood 🩸 to cover the sins of all who would accept His gift of salvation.
Those who reject Him will be cut off!
Have you ever thought about the reasons “why” people reject Jesus?
According to Got Questions.org there are basically four reasons.
Here’s a summary,
- I’m basically a good person.
- Social rejection or persecution.
- The world has more to offer than eternal things.
- Resisting the Holy Spirit’s attempt to draw them to faith in Christ.

Look what the scriptures say,
Acts 4: 12Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
Matthew 25: 30And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Why do we resist telling others about Jesus Christ?
Rejection!
I’ve had a family member tell me, I’ve been a good person and if I can’t go to heaven for being good, I don’t want to go.
Please pray for the “good” people who reject Jesus Christ.
Blessings, David
