Leviticus?

Our church is in the midst of its Fall Bible Conference. It started on Saturday evening and runs through Tuesday evening. The theme is Leviticus Alive! Be honest. How many of you think Leviticus is a book that deals with God's Law for the Israelites? Guidelines for sacrifices, diet and sanctification. If that's what you think, you are correct, but only partly. Leviticus contains so much more! Sure it follows Moses and the Israelites as they wander the desert before entering the land of Canaan (The Promised Land). Leviticus has direct ties to Jesus and the New Testament. The incredible thing about the Bible is how the Old and New Testaments complement each other. One does not trump the other. They are completely interwoven. The terms old and new can be a bit misleading. Old does not mean outdated or irrelevant. New does not mean "new and improved". The Bible is one book... not two. Too many people think the New Testament is cause for disregarding the Old Testament. Nothing could be further from the truth. The REAL truth.
