Just a few phrases of encouragement as you read Leviticus:
1. Don't get bogged down in the details.
Choose one or two aspects of the sacrifices and follow it through the book (like a detective would 'follow the money). Some aspects could be the blood, the fat, eatable portions, who can eat it, etc.
2. Marvel at the elaborate system.
This isn't one preist and sacrifice a day... this is "cleansing service" offered to the million plus Israelites that left Egypt. Ask God, "Why would you make it so hard to be cleansed from sin"
3. As a Pastor, living in a parsonage and being supported by offerings, I look in wonder of how the priest receives support for his family through the sacrificial system. Faith in God's provision!
4. Put yourself in the daily life of a priest or community member...
How careful must they be to remain clean... and what must they do if they become unclean... What does this say to you about keeping "clean" everyday before God?
5. Marvel at what Jesus did for you... He is our sacrifice! He is our High Priest!
Leviticus 10:3
"The Lord spoke... Among those who approach me I will show Myself to be holy; in the sight of all people I will be honored."
