Greetings dear reader! Please join us as we recap Leviticus and Numbers a.k.a. In the Wilderness (in Hebrew). The focus is God’s holiness and His desire for His people to be holy. It’s a bumpy road but we see the steadfast love of God through it all. Leviticus is mostly God talking to Moses. Lev. 11:44 - “Be holy, for I am holy.”
Sin is costly. We have many lessons and blessings in these books. Atonement with animal blood temporarily covered the sins of the people. Today, we are so blessed that Jesus’ blood continually cleanses us! Jesus’ death was foreshadowed when the snake bitten people had to look at the snake on a stick to live.
These books aren’t all animal sacrifices, mold, and discharges. One of Jesus’ familiar quotes is found in Leviticus 19:18, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Moses bridging the gap between the people and God is a foreshadowing of Jesus being our bridge to God today. What a beautiful picture of a holy sovereign God that refuses to give up on His people!
Thank you for reading with us, in our quest to read the best! May you grow with God!
