God not only wants us to restore the broken relationship with Him through confession of our sin, but He also requires that we confess to and recompense the person we have hurt. Leviticus 5:1-19 “If anyone sins in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, and though he is a witness, whether he has seen…
Jesus is reaching beyond the covenant people, beyond the lost sheep of the house of Israel. He’s reaching to gentiles, and He is giving us a prophetic picture of the extension of the Kingdom in the purpose of God to encompass the lost of the world. Matthew 15:29-39 Jesus went on from there and walked beside…
In this chapter we’re reminded of the enormity of sin, and the enormity of God’s grace. We must never belittle either of those truths. Sin is serious but the blood of Jesus is sufficient to cover all our sins. Leviticus 4: 1-21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If anyone sins…
In this passage we encounter a woman who is an example of how sinners approach Jesus without right, privilege, worthiness and embrace Him by faith. Matthew 15: 21-31 And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy…
By grace, we receive the faith that enables us to believe that the Father has sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and provide the salvation we cannot achieve on our own. Ephesians 2:1-10 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world,…
Not taking the Lord’s name in vain, isn’t limited to cursing. We are to be careful to not treat God with irreverence, superficiality and insincerity with empty worship. Matthew 15:1-20 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” He answered…
All these sacrifices picture God’s provision for meeting our needs through Jesus Christ, and the first three represent God providing us with Love, Joy, and Peace. Leviticus 3:1-17 “If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offers an animal from the herd, male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord. And he shall lay…
While the Grain Offering itself does not atone, there is atonement very near at hand whenever the Grain Offering takes place. Leviticus 2:1-16 “When anyone brings a grain offering as an offering to the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour. He shall pour oil on it and put frankincense on it and bring it to Aaron’s sons…
In this incident, on the Sea of Galilee, the disciples saw the true King in His true Kingdom. They saw Him ruling the wind and the sea, and they saw Him ruling the hearts of men. Matthew 14:22-36 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while…
Leviticus is the key to unlock the riches of the New Testament. Studying this book will help us grasp concepts central to the Christian life. Leviticus 1:1-17 The Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When any one of you brings an offering to…
