Peace In His Presence | June 18, 2023

Tanner Fox | Leviticus 3:1-5The book of Leviticus is full of rituals, offerings, details, death, and a big idea - holiness - that can leave us feeling like we have jumped in over our heads. But the undercurrent to the whole book, and not just this book but the Bible, is the longing for God to enjoy a relationship with the only part of creation fashioned in his image. “God is opening a way for humanity to dwell in his divine presence.” (Morales) We are his treasure and he will make a way for us to dwell with him in joy and delight. Leviticus 3 is an offering for fellowship and peace. It is a meal shared between God and his people, a shadow of the meal Christ will give his disciples and the rest of us to feast on until he returns.
