Listen from:
V.1-13 Read 1 Corinthians 15:3. Christ is the One Who is our trespass offering. Here we have a different kind of sin. For instance, if you are working with a group of people and their conversation is immoral. You are made unclean by this, even though you weren’t joining in with them. In verse 2 we read of touching a dead body. This is a picture of our becoming unclean by contact with the world which God says is unclean (James 4:44Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. (James 4:4); 1 John 2:15-1715Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (1 John 2:15‑17)).
V.14-19 If a wrong had been done, either to God or to a person, then God and that person must be paid back for the wrong doing. In doing this a trespass offering must be given to the Lord. It is good for us to realize this, because we sometimes think that if we have done something wrong to another, all that needs doing is to make up to the person for the wrong we have done. But we sometimes forget that this wrong has put us out of communion with God. We need to be restored to Him as well.
