There are some books in the Old Testament that seem so far away from our culture that we are not sure what to do with them and most people just skip over them when reading their Bibles. Leviticus is one of those books.

Have you ever tried to read your Bible in a year? Genesis and Exodus are a breeze, but then you get to Leviticus. Rituals, sacrifices, impurities—what does it all mean? What is Leviticus trying to say? And how does it affect us today?

How are you going eating your brussel sprouts? Doesn’t it feel a bit like that when reading Leviticus? You just want to jump forward to dessert but you have to eat your vegetables: the solid foundation of the Pentateuch. So keep going, you will be so proud of yourself when you finish.

Imagine sitting down and reading the constitution of your nation, it would be so boring and seriously the only people that would do it are those who are interested in enforcing it!
