| Genesis
we can understand, and Exodus we can follow, but why would we want to read
Levitious? Answer look at the following chapters. LEVITICUS
1-7;8-10;11-15;16;17-27 Hebrews 7:23-25 (ESV) 23 The former priests were many
in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24
but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25
Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God
through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews
9:11-14 (ESV) 11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things
that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent ( not made
with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into
the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means
of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of
goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a
heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the
blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without
blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living
God. Hebrews 7:26-28 (ESV) 26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have
such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and
exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to
offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the
people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the
law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath,
which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect
forever. |
