It is Finished | Leviticus 1-7

God’s pathway to holiness through sacrificial substitutionary atonement is not the most popular message nowadays, but it is absolutely necessary and essential for our spiritual health. In the book of Leviticus, God gives Israel a picture of what fellowship with him is all about. The first seven chapters of Leviticus reveal a fivefold expression of God’s provision of grace for his people to have fellowship with him in spite of their personal and corporate sin.

What kind of assurance does God provide for his people to know God will restore their lives to the fullness of life he desires?

God’s assurance of salvation…

I. Rests on his gracious life-giving provision through substitutionary atonement: what is on your policy? Are you in good hands? (Lev. 1-7)

a. Commitment: voluntary burnt offering – faithful (Lev. 1); grain offering – fruitful (Lev. 2).

b. Communion: peace offering (Lev. 3).

c. Cleansing: sin offering (Lev. 4-5:13); guilt offering (Lev. 5:14-6:7).

II. Requires our willingness to trust his promises and live accordingly: Faith – into your hands I commit my Spirit (Luke 23:46, Heb. 9:11-26).

a. Burnt offering: total surrender – faithful.

b. Grain offering: good works, fruit of gratitude.

c. Peace Offering: wholeness, the best, reconciliation.

d. Sin offering: purification sins of commission or omission. e. Guilt offering: restitution.

Human nature’s way of salvation is “do, do, do.”

But God’s way of salvation is “done, done; it is all done.”

You have but to rely by faith on the atonement

which Christ accomplished on the cross. – C. H. Spurgeon

1. Are you trying to earn your way into God’s presence by your own efforts? If that is the case, you will never make it. Stop trying to earn your way and trust Jesus to be the way.

2. What fuels your worship and living for God? God does not want you to live motivated by fear or uncertainty but in the assurance of faith and gratitude of the consummated work of God. Read Romans 8:28-38 to remind you where your security is and thank God for the gift of his Son.

Meals as Enacted Promise | Luke 24

April 5, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

Comfort food. We all have a meal or two we go to when we need to be cheered up. The trauma the first disciples experienced after the Passover meal was almost unbearable. How could they move on? Thank God for the resurrection! The new day of the resurrection assures us death is not the end. A new day is coming where death will be no more and where, non surprisingly, Jesus will meet us a the table again with the ultimate comfort food anticipating the Kingdom to come.

Meals as Enacted Salvation | Luke 22

April 5, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

A death sentenced criminal last meal is a grace given before the end. This was a meal meant to offer freedom and the joy of a new beginning. The host himself offered forgiveness and abundant life in God’s kingdom and yet, this meal became his last anticipating his imminent death. Paradoxically a gracious life-giving, liberating meal marked Jesus as someone who was born to die as a criminal but was innocent as a lamb. Jesus’s last supper is an invitation to trade places where he offers his life for our death and where we surrender our life for his glory.…
