Sacrifice was then the only sufficient means of remaining in harmonious relation to God. No Hebrew dared neglect this obligation. It was adequate for the period in which God intended it should serve. This is not the same as saying, however, that Levitical sacrifice was on an equal with the sacrifice of Christ, nor that the blood of bulls and goats could, from God's side, take away sins; but it is recognizing the reality of the divine institution of Mosaic worship, and looking, as too often Old Testament interpreters fail to do, at sacrifice and priestly ritual from the viewpoint of the Hebrew in the Old Testament dispensation. Sacrifice, to the pious Hebrew, was not something insignificant, nor simply a perfunctory ritual, but it was an important element in his moral obedience to the revealed will of God. Sacrifice was by its very nature, which involved faith and repentance on the part of the worshiper and the putting to death of his substitute victim; intensely personal, ethical, moral, and spiritual, because it was intended to reflect the attitude of the heart and will toward God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think our girls were in awe of their pitcher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39834]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think our girls were in awe of their pitcher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Potential customers have more faith and confidence in the financial health of IBM. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Potential customers have more faith and confidence in the financial health of IBM.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My master's visualizations were so powerfultheir condensation into matter was mere signature.Donald Walters, formerly Kriyananda, author of The Pathabout his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/386]]></link><description><![CDATA[My master's visualizations were so powerfultheir condensation into matter was mere signature.Donald Walters, formerly Kriyananda, author of The Pathabout his guru Yogananda.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This individual was fortunate he was not ejected from his vehicle due to the fact he was wearing a seat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31872]]></link><description><![CDATA[This individual was fortunate he was not ejected from his vehicle due to the fact he was wearing a seat belt, ...
