Let’s be honest; most of us have started a Bible reading plan in January only to bump into Leviticus around March and that resolution goes out the window. All of Scripture is for our edification, so how is a book full of blood and bells and bulls supposed to relate to us? What if we thought of the book in this way: if my life’s purpose is to live in the presence of the Holy One then how do I approach Him? What would it take for a person, with all of my stuff, to actually live in a face to face relationship with the Triune God?
That is the reason for Leviticus. It answers some fundamental questions about who God is and who we are in relation to Him. In this series, we will be looking at how we can apply this remarkable (and mysterious) book to our lives every week. We recommend that you try to read the book along with us as we work through it together. We promise you it will be a rewarding time. Everything that is truly helpful to our lives takes a bit of work, so let’s dig in and see what Jesus has to show us.
