At One-Ment - Leviticus 16

Once a year, the high priest entered the Holiest place on earth and offered sacrifice for the people's sins. This particular day came with many rules and regulations to avoid offending God. Here are a few that God gave to Aaron.
Come at the set time each year
Bring a
Bull - sin offering
Ram - burnt offering
Take a bath
Put on
Tunic
Underwear
Sash
Turbin
Take from the people
Two male goats - sin offering 
Ram - burnt offering

Offer the bull for your (Aaron's) own sins.
Present the two goats at the entrance of the meeting tent

Throw dice for the two goats to see which one will be sacrificed and which one will be sent into the desert as the scapegoat. You will slaughter the bull for your family's sins.

You will take a censer of burning coals from the altar and some finely ground incense. You'll put that on the inner altar to make enough smoke to hide the Ark of the Covenant, and then you can go into the Holiest place. 

And that is just the first thirteen verses of this unique chapter. Minutiae? Crazy stuff? If someone asked us to do all of this these days, we'd tell that someone to go jump in the lake. It's strange and weird. So what does it all have to do with anything?

If you look objectively at Leviticus these days, you will be baffled by the blood and gore. Yet, since this is the third book of the Bible, we must not blow it off as a mere Lorem Ipsum text. It is important. But why?

One author says, "The Book of Leviticus, like others in the Old Testament, offers ... lessons for today's people of faith. One example is the enduring truth in Leviticus 11:44: 'For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy.' "In many ways, the Book of Leviticus schools people of faith about God's holiness. It also clarifies God's expectations for his people. For example, the necessity of ritualistic sacrifice and atonement preceded Jesus' sacrifice in the New Testament."

A Holy God, plus sinful man, leads to a need for approximation. Holiness is the goal, and it is also impossible to attain. Leviticus shows us just how impossible with all of its rules, regulations, and bloody sacrifices. Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.

What Are You Worth?

What are you Worth?  Have you ever thought about what you are worth? In investing circles there is a term used to gauge this exact question, it's called Net Worth. You take all of your assets, like property owned, funds in your bank account, clothes, jewelry, car, etc.. You total all of these things. You then take everything you owe, like mortgage, car loan, and credit card debt, and you subtract these items from the first total. This gives you your net worth. That number represents where you are financially. Most people never stop to think about this number because they don't understand anything about it. They never have two nickels to rub together. They live from hand to mouth and know (or at least believe) nothing will ever change so, they fall into the "daily grind" mentality. Psalm 49 should be a great encouragement to such as these. The sons of Korah write about them. These sons write about all of us. They call all people everywhere to listen to their wisdom. Bo...

Grazi and Cris Are Getting Baptized!

Graziele / Cris Grazilele (hard to pronounce if you are not a Brazilian) and Cris are getting baptized on Saturday night. Baptism is a big step of faith and these young ladies are ready. Grazi accepted the Lord several years ago when Company C was in it's infancy. She was invited to club by a friend, who has since left, and not long afterwards she opened her heart to the Savior. She is a determined twelve going on twenty year old. When Grazi sets her mind on a task she usually gets it done. Dawn has been teaching her Bible lessons and sewing skills recently and she's noted Grazi's abilities. Grazi plays the recorder in o ur orchestra. Cris is Alexandre's youngest sister. She accepted Christ when her older sister Dani shared her own personal decision a few years back. Cris always has a smile on her face and is a ready helper too. She is quiet but gifted. She is learning to play the violin and is also a part of our growing orchestra. Both of these gi...

The Circumcision Advantage

 What a title right? I'm thinking of Romans 3:1 where Paul asks, "What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision?"  This was always an avoided subject in Sunday school, especially in a mixed class. We didn't use the "C" word. Too wierd.  Paul is bringing up this topic for good reasons. He wants to show that the Jews definitely have had a great advantage during their history. In the next verse he tells one of them when he says, ... "First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God." The first jew talked to God in person. God chose Abram to be the father of many nations and to bring the blessing of the Messiah to the world. The Old Testament is the story of the Jewish nation. God dealt with the Jews throughout the ages of the time before Christ. They were the chosen. But in all that blessing they ended up crucifying the Messiah.  With all of their advantages the Jews came short of the ideal....
