Reading the introduction to Leviticus, I find that the book gives us a strong idea of God’s holiness. The holiness of God sets him apart from mankind. However, to come close to God certain rituals must be performed. these rituals in many ways reflect what Christ did for us on the cross. He was the prefect sacrifice who brought to completion all the different sacrifices in Leviticus.
Read an introduction to Leviticus in study Bible, commentary, or regular Bible (if it has one).
- Who wrote Leviticus?
- What larger body of writing is Leviticus central to?
- What are the themes of Leviticus?
- What have you already learned about God’s holiness and ‘sacred space’?
- What do you know about jesus’ death as a sacrifice?
