Lessons From the Book of Leviticus - Tony Evans

Tony Evans - Watch Message: Lessons From the Book of Leviticus. 

Leviticus is one of the most neglected and yet powerful books in the Bible. It establishes the guidelines by which God is to be known and worshiped. It is far more relevant to us than many realize.

The book distinguishes between the profane, the common, and the holy. Here’s an illustration that may help to explain the differences between those concepts. When you have dirty dishes in your sink, they are profane. That is, they are unacceptable to use until they have been cleaned. Profane things in our lives are completely unacceptable to God because they bring dirt before him. The common dishes, by contrast, are those you use every day. There’s nothing wrong with them; they just aren’t special. And should we treat God as common, we don’t hold him in the high regard his holiness deserves and demands.

Think about what’s holy in relation to the china dishes secured behind the glass doors in the hutch in the dining room. These are the ones we only bring out on special occasions for honored guests. That picture gives insight into how Leviticus teaches us to treat God—the Holy One who is like no other. We are to relate to God and worship him as our unique, one-of-a-kind Lord, and King of his kingdom. He deserves only the best.
