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 4:4; 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.
