Leviticus

Leviticus? As I read it I see Gods clear as to his expectations of The Israelites. Order is of the essence from his covenant with the Levites for how they are to eat, act in every facet of their lives and their priestly laws. Moreover he offers them a way for atonement and forgiveness through sacrificial offerings. It seems as if there is far more to this interaction with Moses and God than I can begin to grasp by reading through it in a three day span. I am immensely intrigued by the Gods Holiness he conveys with precision, TRUST ME, KNOW ME, FOLLOW ME, BE HOLY, BE LIKE ME. I can honestly say I am not sure if this book was so difficult to read because of the abundance of laws and tedious attention to detail God perpetuates toward the lives of the Israelites. I found it redundant and difficult to conceptualize what was taking place due to my limited capacity in our present postmodern world too comprehend the reality that God was so strict with his people out of his love for them. I do leave knowing that God used Moses in remarkable ways and his profetic duty was embraced wholly. The more Christlike we become the more we will move to serve the Lord and His Kingdom.
