"They Couldn't Minister Until This Happened" (Lev 6-8 Explained) - Tzav - 4/10/25

Apr 10, 2025 • Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta

Before the priests could ever serve, something had to happen first.

In this powerful message, Rabbi Cosmo unpacks the rich symbolism of the sacrifices, the priestly ordination, and how every detail of Leviticus points to Yeshua’s atoning work. From the bull of atonement to the anointing oil, and from the wave offering to the blood on the ear, hand, and foot—this was no ritual for ritual’s sake.

This was about being cleansed, surrendered, and filled to serve.

And the same is true today.

You cannot truly minister until your sin has been dealt with, your life is fully surrendered, and your hands have been filled by the Spirit of God. Drawing powerful parallels between Leviticus 8 and Acts 2, this message invites us into a deeper understanding of what it means to be consecrated for the Lord’s service.
