Offering Thanksgiving

Mar 28, 2026    Chris Orr

As we explore the Levitical system of offerings, particularly focusing on the fellowship (sh'lamim) and thanksgiving (todah) offerings, we examine how these offerings weren't just about atoning for sin, but about expressing gratitude to God for deliverance and life itself. The Passover lamb fits within this framework as a thanksgiving offering, commemorating God's faithfulness in rescuing Israel from Egypt. This has profound implications for our spiritual life today - Yeshua's sacrifice didn't eliminate our need to offer thanksgiving; rather, it deepens our reason for gratitude. The sages teach that in Messianic times, only thanksgiving offerings will continue, as we'll recognize God's goodness even in difficult circumstances. #messianic #messianicteaching #messianicservice
