There are five sacrifices mentioned in Leviticus, and the עלה is listed first. The significance of this offering is that it was one of the most frequently made sacrifices; it was one of the most important, and the only sacrifice which completely belonged to God. The עלה was completely surrendered to God by the worshipper, and it was completely accepted by God. The most significant aspect of this עלה can be found in its voluntary aspect. The difference between voluntary offering and mandatory offering is that the voluntary offering flows out of love whereas the mandatory offering is offered because of the sin the person committed. Their purposes also are not the same; the voluntary offering is for expressing love, thanks, and paying homage, and serves as a gift to God. The voluntary aspect of the עלה can be found in its center in the heart of the offerer. This is expressed by the desire of the offerer to present a costly offering rather than a cheap offering. By the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross, believers are made holy and acceptable before God. Christ’s death is a sacrifice made for all; all the sacrifices are fulfilled in Christ. There is, however, an ongoing aspect that can be drawn out from the עלה. The עלה helps us to understand the self-willingness of Christ to sacrifice himself for us all. As the עלה is burnt totally before God, Jesus asks us to give up everything for Him (Luke 14:33).
