It is not enough that the offering is brought; it must be acceptable to God. God must receive it.
Abomination – that which is hateful and disgusting, especially to God
Although the burnt offering is a picture of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it is also a picture of the believer who gives himself unto the Lord. In this message, we will look at this second way of understanding the meaning of the burnt offering. We are to give ourselves entirely and without reserve to God.
The servant must understand his relationship to His Lord. The Lord is the master of the house and He rules it without challenge. The servant exists for the needs and service of the Lord. John 13:16 states, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.”
When God’s people get away from the Lord, they begin to give Him the leftovers. Their service to God becomes a weariness to them.
