Monday, Nov 16 Leviticus 4-6 Read & Listen Online (Click “Audio” link to listen)
1. Leviticus 6:1-7 describes how someone who has sinned against his neighbor was to seek to make the matter right with the offended person. Similarly, as the love of Christ compels us, New Testament believers also seek to make restitution for the harm we have caused to others. What example does Luke 19:5-9 provide of the life-changing actions that result when Jesus intervenes in a person’s life? What examples can you give of similar actions on the part of God’s forgiven people?

2. Leviticus 9:23-24 describes the joy of the people when they witnessed the fire from the LORD consuming the sacrifice they had placed upon the altar. According to Psalm 51:14-17, what pleases God even more than sacrifices?

3. “I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy” records Leviticus 11:44. God’s Word clearly teaches us that, on our own, we can neither be holy nor serve God in holiness (Genesis 8:21). How then has this command from God found fulfillment (See Ephesians 5:25-26)?

4. Leviticus 12-15 shows that God would have His people understand how disease can spread from one person to another. Therefore those among God’s people found to be unclean were separated from the group. What comparison might be made with the infectious qualities of sin? See Galatians 6:1.
