making a way
In Leviticus, God invites Israel to live in close proximity to His holy presence. Which seems awesome, but it’s actually dangerous. This book explores how the sacrificial rituals and purity practices cleared the way for morally corrupt Israelites to become God’s covenant partners.
I just began this book in my reading-through-the-year Bible reading plan. I’m reminded that so many skip over it in their Bible reading plans, finding it too difficult to slog through, but unaware it is actually a pathway to understanding concepts like purity, cleansing, holiness, forgiveness, and atonement.
So, don’t skip over Leviticus in your Bible!
Instead, watch the video below, and then — take up and read.
