Do I really have to read Leviticus?” A young executive asked me this in earnest as we talked about the value of spending time in reading the Bible. “The Old Testament seems so boring and difficult,” he said. Many Christians feel this way. The answer, of course, is that the Old Testament, including Leviticus, offers background and even contrasts essential to grasping the New Testament. While Isaiah challenges us to seek God (Isa 55:6), he also promises us that God’s Word accomplishes what the Lord wants it to accomplish (Isa 55:.11). Scripture is alive and powerful (Heb. 4:12), and it is useful to teach, correct, and instruct us (2 Tim. 3:16). God’s Word never returns void (Isa. 55:8-11), but sometimes it is not until later that God’s words come to mind as we need them. The Holy Spirit uses the truths we’ve stored from reading or memorization, and He helps us to apply them at just the right time. For example, Leviticus 19:10-11 speaks of business competition and even caring for the poor. The Spirit can remind us of these concepts, and we can use them, if we’ve spent time reading and contemplating that passage. Reading the Bible turns our minds into storehouses through which the Spirit can work. That’s a great reason to read Leviticus and the other 65 books as well. Lord, I want to learn to love Your Word more and more. Teach me and help me to hide it in my heart so that I can live it, be encouraged by it, and help others to know it too. Amen. To understand the Word of God, rely on the Spirit of God. Leviticus 1:1-17 It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. - Leviticus 1:17 TODAY IN THE WORD The book of Leviticus is essentially a handbook of regulations for Israel’s religious life under the Law. The title means “pertaining to the Levites,” which points out that the priests and Levites were responsible for seeing to it that these regulations were followed. Historically, Leviticus picks up where Exodus left off. The Israelites had just built the tabernacle and begun receiving the Law. As God revealed to Moses the further rules found in Leviticus, the people remained encamped at the foot of Mount Sinai for about a year. We’ll study several key themes in Leviticus this month, including worship, purity, obedience, and our identity as God’s people. The first section (ch. 1-10), the sacrifices and priestly duties, focuses on worship and holiness. Part two (ch. 11-16) deals with issues of purity in daily life. The third section (ch. 17-22) explores what it means to be God’s chosen people. And the final section (ch. 23-27) lays out special days and festivals in the Jewish calendar. The primary purpose of the sacrificial system was worship. As Charles Ryrie has noted, the root of the word offering means to “draw near” to God. This is reflected in David’s words: “May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice” (Ps. 141:2). Burnt offerings were made voluntarily, and seem to have been the most common type of sacrifice (cf. Ex. 29:38-43). They purified a worshiper from general sin and thus prepared him to draw near to God. This offering was completely burned up to show that it was completely dedicated to the Lord. To “make atonement” (v. 4) meant that the animal died a substitutionary death in place of a worshiper. By laying hands on it, worshipers showed an understanding of sin and a repentant heart. We know that the blood of these animals did not actually remove sin–only the blood of Christ can do that–but the sacrifices did purify people outwardly and make it possible for them to be in the presence of God (Heb. 9:11-14). TODAY ALONG THE WAY As you begin this study of the book of Leviticus, pray over God’s purposes for you personally this month. What would He have you learn? What attitudes would He have you change? What actions would He have you take? Leviticus 1:1-17 It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. - Leviticus 1:17 TODAY IN THE WORD What pleasant memories do you associate with certain smells? Does the odor of freshly-mown grass evoke images of a perfect summer day? You may think of your husband or wife every time you smell his or her favorite cologne or perfume. For others, smells from the oven bring back memories--fresh bread after school, pumpkin pie at holidays, or chicken soup when you were sick. Prompted by these or other meaningful smells, our minds return to significant moments or people in our lives. Scripture describes God’s response to certain “smells” in a similar way, as illustrated in today’s verse. When the scent of true worship rose from the altar, He was pleased. When people’s hearts were not right, though, He could “smell” that, too. These are key points to remember as we examine the burnt offering of the Old Testament. The burnt offering is the first of five offerings we will explore. We will spend three days examining each offering, looking at: (1) a basic description of the offering; (2) a key spiritual principle involved in the offering; and (3) one way in which Christ fulfills the offering. The main purpose of the burnt offering was propitiation for general sin. Propitiation means to satisfy, and the burnt offering was given to satisfy God’s holy wrath over sin. A burnt offering was offered every morning and evening for the whole nation of Israel (Ex. 29:38-43). If an individual wanted to present it, he was required to bring a perfect male animal (Lev. 1:3, 10). He would lay his hand on it, signifying identification, then kill it, signifying that the animal was a substitutionary sacrifice (vv. 4-5). The penalty for sin was-- and still is--death, but the animal died instead of the worshiper. TODAY ALONG THE WAY One principle from the burnt offering still instructs us today: each person gave according to his ability. A leader sacrificed a larger animal than an ordinary Israelite; a poor family usually had the option of sacrificing a less expensive bird (Lev. 1:3, 10, 14 with Lev. 12:8). Leviticus 1:4 (Faith's Checkbook) A Completed Sacrifice “And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering: and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him” —Leviticus 1:4 IF by that laying on of his hand, the bullock became the offerer’s sacrifice, how much more shall Jesus become ours by the laying on of the hand of faith? “My faith doth lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin.” If a bullock could be accepted for him to make atonement for him, how much more shall the Lord Jesus be our full and all-sufficient propitiation? Some quarrel with the great truth of substitution; but as for us, it is our hope, our joy, our boast, our all. Jesus is accepted for us to make atonement for us, and we are “accepted in the Beloved.” Let the reader take care at once to lay his hand on the Lord’s completed sacrifice, that by accepting it he may obtain the benefit of it. If he has done so once, let him do it again. If he has never done so, let him put out his hand without a moment’s delay. Jesus is yours now if you will have Him. Lean on Him; lean hard on Him; and He is yours beyond all question; you are reconciled to God, your sins are blotted out, and you are the Lord’s. Leviticus 1:4a (Morning and Evening) "And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt- offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him." - Leviticus 1:4 Our Lord's being made "sin for us" is set forth here by the very significant transfer of sin to the bullock, which was made by the elders of the people. The laying of the hand was not a mere touch of contact, for in some other places of Scripture the original word has the meaning of leaning heavily, as in the expression, "thy wrath lieth hard upon me" (Psalm 88:7). Surely this is the very essence and nature of faith, which doth not only bring us into contact with the great Substitute, but teaches us to lean upon him with all the burden of our guilt. Jehovah made to meet upon the head of the Substitute all the offences of his covenant people, but each one of the chosen is brought personally to ratify this solemn covenant act, when by grace he is enabled by faith to lay his hand upon the head of the "Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world.

    UNVEILED HOPE By Scotty Smith (This content is used with permission of Scotty Smith) UNVEILED HOPE INTRODUCTION: The Fulfillment of Our Great Hope As I write these words I am sitting at the foot of the Swiss Alps in the little fishing village of Iseltwald, just outside of Interlaken. All of my God given senses are engaged and heightened with an exhilarating intensity. Never have I seen bluer skies with a richness of hue that betrays description. I can feel the fiery warmth of the fall colors in the trees along the ridge of the Alps. And, I can taste the pure vanilla of the fresh white morning snow. Is there something that can be called too beautiful? Am I close to sensory overload? Before me is Lake Brienz whose blue-green waters seem so vast, so inviting, so absolutely calming. No tempest, just a tapestry of peacefulness that resonates with something deep in the core of my soul. It is so good to be here, right now, drinking in this astonishing vision..... for it has been a hard year, really, a hard season of life. So many changes, so many demands ..... I don't know when spiritual warfare has seemed as intense. Good friends are overwhelmed. Family members are facing loss and the adjustments forced with the advancing years. Maybe that's why this setting is just drawing me in. I feel like I am inhaling something much more vital than oxygen. The quiet of this place is so pronounced, so obvious, so centering. All I can hear is the rolling movement of a passenger train on the other side of the lake making its way to the wood carving village of Brienz.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai, Erkamka na Adonai, We will praise and lift You high, El Shaddai Through Your love and through the ram, You saved the son of Abraham; Through the power of Your hand, Turned the sea into dry land. To the outcast on her knees, You were the God who really sees, And by Your might, You set Your children free. Through the years You've made it clear, That the time of Christ was near, Though the people couldn't see What Messiah ought to be. Though Your word contained the plan, They just could not understand Your most awesome work was done Through the frailty of Your Son. El Shaddai — ‘God Almighty’ El-Elyon na Adonai — ‘God most High, O, Lord’ Erkamka na Adonai — ‘We will love You’, or more accurately ‘I love You, O Lord’ YHWH (Yahweh) is the real and personal name of God. This is the name God revealed to Moses and Israel on Mount Sinai and this is the name by which God himself said people should remember him: ‘This is my name forever; the name by which I am to be remembered generation to generation’ (Exodus 3:14-15 - NIV). The word El is used in the most general way as a designation of a deity, whether of the true God or of the false gods, even of the idols used in pagan worship.

  • The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering
    “Vaneetha writes with creativity, biblical faithfulness, com- pelling style, and an experiential authenticity that draws other sufferers in. Here you will find both a tested life and a love for the sovereignty of a good and gracious God.” —JOHN PIPER, author of Desiring God; founder and teacher, desiringGod.org “The Scars That Have Shaped Me will make you weep and rejoice not just because it brims with authenticity and integrity, but because every page points you to the rest that is found in entrusting your life to one who is in complete control and is righteous, powerful, wise, and good in every way.” —PAUL TRIPP, pastor, author, international conference speaker “I could not put this book down, except to wipe my tears. Reading Vaneetha’s testimony of God’s kindness to her in pain was exactly what I needed; no doubt, many others will feel the same. The Scars That Have Shaped Me has helped me process my own grief and loss, and given me renewed hope to care for those in my life who suffer in various ways. Reveling in the sovereign grace of God in your pain will bolster your faith like nothing this world can offer, and Vaneetha knows how to lead you to this living water.” —GLORIA FURMAN, author of Missional Motherhood and Alive in Him “When we are suffering significantly, it’s hard to receive truth from those who haven’t been there. But Vaneetha Risner’s credibility makes us willing to lean in and listen. Her writing is built on her experience of deep pain, and in the midst of that her rugged determination to hold on to Christ.” —NANCY GUTHRIE, author of Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow “I have often wondered how Vaneetha Risner endures suffering with such amazing joy, grace, and perseverance.

  • XXIX. Genesis in Biblical Perspective the Gospel of Christ from Genesis the Land, the Seed, Kings and Other Things Genesis 17 By: Dr
    XXIX. Genesis in Biblical Perspective The Gospel of Christ from Genesis The Land, The Seed, Kings and Other Things Genesis 17 By: Dr. Harry Reeder In this study we will look closer at the Abrahmic covenant, how God’s promises are made and how to understand them. Let’s look at God’s Word. It’s the truth. Genesis 17:1-8 says [1] When Abram was ninety-nine years old the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless, [2] that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” [3] Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, [4] “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. [5] No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. [6] I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you. [7] And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. [8] And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.” The grass withers, the flower fades, the Word of our God abides forever and by His grace and mercy may His Word be preached for you.

  • Imagination and Its Place in the Christian School © Richard J Edlin June 2018
    Edserv International Inc, 48A Yellow Rock Rd, Tullimbar NSW 2527, Australia ABN: 77195043133 Imagination and Its Place in the Christian School © Richard J Edlin June 2018 As created beings, one of our greatest treasures, perhaps the dearest fingerprint of God in us, is our ability to imagine. But inevitably, whenever I speak about the "biblical imagination" someone will object, "Isn't the imagination a bad thing? Doesn't the Bible say our imaginations are "evil"? - Michael Card, Christian musician, 2011. INTRODUCTION Rajaram Bojji is a former managing director of the Konkan Railway Corporation. The Konkan railway line is 738 km long on India’s west coast, linking Mangalore with Mumbai, and was completed in 1998. As an engineer, Bojji oversaw the construction of many sections of the line, including the famous 424 meters long and 67 meters tall Panval Nadi Viaduct near the port city of Ratnagiri beside the Arabian Sea. In 2012, as a part of his Extreme Fig 1. Panval Viaduct on an Indian postage stamp Railways series for Channel 5 television in the United Kingdom, Chris Tarrant travelled the Konkan railway. During the filming, he interviewed Rajaram Bojji and together they inspected the Panval Viaduct, watching as a passenger train traversed its heights. In describing the marvel of the viaduct – the largest in all of India – Bojji in words similar to this said to Tarrant, “There must be some kind of divine spirit that makes humans imagine and do things that look impossible.” The story of the creative genius behind the Panval Viaduct introduces us to the wonders of the human imagination.
