概要

 Pastor takes us on an exploration of the Book of Leviticus, a book that many would choose as their least favorite book of the Bible. However, what we will see in Leviticus is the foundation of true worship, the foundation of God's plan for the world and His people. This book may surprise you - as you see it's filled with some really good instruction. Exodus speaks of WHERE to worship God. Leviticus speaks of HOW to worship God. (Sacrifices and Festivals). The life of God's people revolved around worship and Leviticus sets forth life time patterns of how to worship God. Differences between Israel's Worship and the worship of other nations: - Sacrifices for the Israelites had nothing to do with discerning the future. Instead they were all about an innocent victim dying to cover sin. A foreshadowing of what Jesus would do on the cross. He was the perfect, innocent Lamb of God who shed His blood to cover our sin. - Sacrifices for the Israelites were linked to God's Covenantal relationship. He keeps His word. He keeps His promises. - God's moral and ethical nature demands holiness. Holiness was not a part of the ancient worship culture. We, today, often do not see God as holy. We read the importance of lifestyle and living in a way that honors God. The Six Foundational Blocks in Leviticus: - Worship - daily and continuous, joyful and God-directed, and specific directions to the priests on how to worship. - Sacrifice - is at the heart of genuine, biblical worship and points right to the sacrifice of Christ. We sin and we need a Savior to cover our sin. Sacrifice is God's preview to what Jesus will do because our sin demands restitution, something to shed its blood to pay for our sins. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. He paid the price for all. - Penitence - come before God humbly admitting our sin. Recognizing our sin. - Priesthood - God placed intermediaries - priests - mediators - that went to God on behalf of the people. They had to make sacrifice to cover their sin before going to God in the Holy of Holies. - Blood - shedding of blood brings forgiveness. They were not to eat or drink blood as it was sacred. Life is in the blood. Blood is atoning - through the blood of Jesus. - Lifestyle - Biblical faith is more than intellectual knowledge. It is a way of life. God shares His plan for how we live, our relationship with Him, and the right way to live - a God-pleasing way. We want to live His way because it is the best way. When we are caught up in sin and not living how God desires that we live we can also know that the Lord wants us back and He says, "There is no one that I cannot change! There is no one outside the reach of My love and My mercy and My grace." He alone gives us the strength to change our ways, to turn back to Him in repentance. Covered in the Blood of His Son, Jesus, our sins are forgiven and we are changed and our life-styles are changed. Because we understand that we are saved, we want to live as God has told us to live. Pastor ends with a study of the Festivals in Leviticus 16 & 23: Passover - celebrate deliverance from Egypt when they put the blood of a lamb on their doors and God passed over and freed them. Jesus went to the cross at Passover - He is the Passover Lamb slain for us. Firstfruits - The first of the crops are offered to God specifically on the day after the first Sabbath of Passover. Jesus died on Passover and he rose on the Day of FirstFruits. Jesus is the Firstfruit of God. Weeks - celebrated 50 days after Passover. It is the time when the harvest is brought in. It's a time of celebration. It is our day of Pentecost - it is God saying He is bringing in the harvest through His Holy Spirit. Trumpets - the Jewish New Year - a reminder that we are a new creation in Christ. Atonement - the high priest brings out 2 goats. One is slain to cover the sins of God's people. The other goat "carries away the sins" of the people as it is let go. Tabernacles - reminder of how their ancestors were lead through the wilderness and protected for 40 years as they waited to come to the promised land. This is a picture of the final harvest when Christ returns. God will fulfill everything He has said. Leviticus points to the Lord Jesus - His first coming and His final appearing.
