Leviticus: Living in God's Holy Presence | Video DevotionalSample

Prepare Your Heart

Welcome to Leviticus: Living in God's Holy Presence. Before you journey through the book of Leviticus, watch the short overview video below. How can we live in God’s presence? The answer is given to us in the book of Leviticus. If we are ever to dwell with God we must become like God, we must be holy as he is holy. Atonement provided a temporary way to take our darkness and make it light, but we needed a more permanent solution. That is why Jesus, who is God's light itself, took on our darkness to make us holy like him.

Reflect

Next, we invite you to read a central part of the book of Leviticus. Leviticus 16:1-10; 20-22 shows us that the central message of Leviticus is God's desire to dwell with his people through atonement. This passage vividly displays how sin is both forgiven and removed, pointing us to Jesus: the high priest who entered God’s presence with his own blood, and the scapegoat who carried our sins away forever.
