According to the Apostle Paul, ‘All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness’ (2 Tim 3:16). While most of us would agree with that, there are some parts that are more difficult to see the usefulness and relevance of. The book of Leviticus would have to be near the top of those books which baffle us. Food laws, sacrifices, and other regulations often feel disconnected from our world. In spite of this, understand the context and framework of Leviticus provides the basis not only for knowing God’s holy character more deeply, but also understanding the importance of Jesus’s sacrifice.
