About

Many people skip over Leviticus, simply because it is seen as “boring.” Is there anything in Leviticus that we should pay attention to? Does it play a role in our lives today? This week, Jeff and Jeremy dive into this highly technical book and talk about why it is still important for us to consider, even if we do not practice the laws found within it. Leviticus is a long, drawn out look at the legal and religious practices of the early Israelite nation. From what festivals guide the Israelite calendar, to the purification rituals one must go through to enter the Tabernacle. Leviticus, on the surface, seems like an outdated and unimportant book, especially for Christians. But to discard it as irrelevant misses the crucial importance of why it’s necessary for better understanding who Jesus is. TLDR: Leviticus is still relevant because Jesus embodies the law himself. - THIS WEEKS TOPICS & QUESTIONS - Approaching Holiness (Ch. 1-10) – Why so many different types of offerings? Becoming Holy (Ch. 11-27) – Why so many festivals? If you have questions of your own about these stories, drop them in the comment section below and Jeff and Jeremy would be happy to answer them! BEER PAIRINGS FOR GENESIS Jeff – St. Bernardus Tripel If done properly, the sacrifices outlined in Leviticus will emit a pleasant aroma to the Lord. This Belgian Abbey Ale gives off a sweet, yet complex aroma. The idea of a sweet aroma is what drew Jeff to this beer as a pairing for the book of Leviticus. Jeremy – Brekenridge Brewery Vanilla Porter Jeremy likes sweet porters.
