Have you ever discovered a little-used but spectacular roadway or path? Maybe it was a trail leading to little-visited picturesque mountain lake. Maybe it was a road that offered unexpectedly scenic views around every curve.
That is a lot like reading Leviticus. It is filled with striking pictures of Jesus. It contains memorable stories of God’s grace. It dramatically emphasizes that our response to God is to be one of thankfulness and joy.
But many people don’t see this because the going can be tough at times with the result that they quit reading it. Unlocking Leviticus is like a friend who has discovered that stunning out-of-the way path and who now takes you on it.
