Lost Me at Leviticus: The Meaning of Law & Sacrifice

For any of us who have attempted a Bible-reading plan, the first snag we encounter tends to be the book of Leviticus. Genesis holds our attention, and Exodus feels familiar–but Leviticus? Well, it’s made up of a lot of law and practices that seem bizarre and irrelevant to most of us. Some have even taken to calling it a “priestly tech manual.”

But embedded in the pages of Leviticus are pointers to the holiness of God, the sinfulness of humanity…and how exactly God has made a way to bridge the chasm in between. 

So buckle up, and let’s take a deep dive into the meaning and significance of Leviticus (and Numbers). How does the content of these books help us understand God and ourselves a little better?

This series takes five weeks to explore what the Bible is, and how to read it well. This series is part of our Year of the Bible initiative.
