His cause has been given to you at the beginning of the rainy season with a fair,
and revealed unto His rain, rain and rain early in the final
season as before. "
(26) "And ye shall eat a lot and become satiated, and you will
Praise the name of the Lord, your God, who has treated you with
Miraculously, and my people will not be embarrassed again forever. "

"Therefore let us, by Him, always offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving
to God, that is greeting lips glorify His name. "
In John 4:23 says that:
"But the hour is coming, and now, that is true penyambah
will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father willed
such worshipers. "
In verse 24 confirms that:

Spirit and Truth. "
BODY:
A. Let us flashback (flash back) in the Old Testament. At the time of Moses, not all persons (tribal) to perform the service the priest (Priestly Ministry). Only certain tribes namely the tribe of Levi. But in the new covenant (new covenent), provision has been amended as described in Hebrews 7:11-15, the order of Melchizedek.
(11) "Therefore, if by the Levitical priesthood has been reached perfection-because
because the priesthood of Israel has accepted the Torah-is why still
need another person determined to be a high priest according to the rules
Melchizedek and he did not say that about Aaron according to the rules? "
(12) "Because, if the priesthood changed, by itself will change the law also
The Revelation. "
(13) "For he who is meant here, including other tribes, the tribe does not exist
one has ever served at the altar. "
(14) "For it is all the people, that our Lord comes from the tribe
Judah and the tribe that Moses never said a whatever
about the priests. "
(15) "And it is far more real again, if another priest assigned by
way of Melchizedek. "
The question now is: "Who is Melchizedek?
The answer we turn to Hebrews 7:1-4.
(1) "... Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God the Most High, he went
commemorate Abraham when Abraham was returning from defeating the kings, and blessed him. "
(2) "To him also Abraham gave a tenth of everything. According to
meaning of the name Melchizedek is the first king of righteousness, as well as king salmon, the king of peace. "
(3) "He does not berbapa, not thousands, not bersisilah, the day does not begin and life
his endless, and because he made the same as the Son of God, he
remains a priest forever. "
(4) "Remember how great that person, to whom Abraham, our ancestor
us, give a tenth of all the best loot. "
B In I Peter 2:9 further explained that through Jesus
"... Ye are a chosen nation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belongs to God alone, that you may proclaim the great deeds
of Him who called you out of darkness to the light-
His wonderful. "
C Why does God not pleased with burnt offering (burnt offering)?
n Psalm 51:18
First, because God wants spiritual gift that is praise and worship (I Peter 2:5)
"And let ye also, as living stones for the construction of
a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer per-
spiritual worship because Jesus Christ bekenan to God. "
Second, because the burnt offering of animal sacrifices performed by the Priests and Levites only then is the description of the shadow of a service than what is in heaven (Hebrews 8:5)
"Their ministry tends to be a picture and shadow of what is in heaven,
same as notified to Moses, when he will exalt
tent. "
Third, because the services performed by the priests of Levi was a symbol of ritual and ceremony are not the essence of salvation itself (Hebrews 10:1).
"In law, there are only a shadow away from safety
will come, and not the essence of ekselamatan itself. Because it
with the same victim, who each tahunterus and again offered,
perfecting the law impossible to those who came
take part in it. "

assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from liver
an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. "
2. People who clean hands (Psalm 24:3, 4)
(3) "Who can go up to the mountain of the LORD? Who can air
himself in his holy place?
(4) "People who clean hands and a pure heart, who does not surrender
himself to fraud, and that no false oath. "
3. People of pure heart (Psalm 24:3, 4)
4. The soul is destroyed, a broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:17-19)
(17) "O Lord, open my lips, my mouth in order to proclaim the praises
Mu! "

sembahkan burnt offering, you do not like it. "

You will not be crushed lowly view, O God. "
