- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The book of Leviticus, that is usually the book many people avoid.
- 00:21
- They get to Genesis, Exodus, and jump right over Leviticus because many people don't take the time to read
- 00:29
- Leviticus. It is one of the more difficult books for many to read because it is filled with laws for the nation of Israel, for them to follow when they would enter into the promised land.
- 00:41
- This was written by Moses while they were in the wilderness, but there's an important thing that many people misunderstand and don't see in the book of Leviticus.
- 00:50
- I would argue that the book of Leviticus is the clearest Old Testament book to the gospel.
- 00:56
- If you read through the book of Leviticus, you read in the beginning, you're going to see many words speaking about how to enter into God's presence, that we are unclean, the importance of cleanliness, being unblemished.
- 01:10
- You're going to see that throughout the first half of the book, two -thirds of the book actually. Last third of the book, chapter 18, you're going to start seeing a phrase over and over again,
- 01:19
- I am the Lord your God, I am the Lord your God, I am the Lord. You're going to see that over and over again. The book of Leviticus is there to show that we cannot come to God in and of ourselves because we are blemished, we are unclean.
- 01:33
- But God is the one who's going to redeem us throughout the book of Leviticus.
- 01:38
- It talks about the fact that God is the one who redeems, and so what you end up seeing in the book of Leviticus is you see
- 01:45
- God as the redeemer, us being cleansed. We come to God His way.
- 01:50
- That's the book of Leviticus. This podcast is part of the Striving for Eternity ministry. For more content, or to request a speaker or seminar to your church, go to strivingforeternity .org.
