Warning! Leviticus is where the great read-through-the-Bible falling away gets very serious.
Most who start reading with great passion make it this far, but the next week or two is where they start dropping like flies. That’s one big reason we’re doing this series – not just to make these passages bearable, but understandable, applicable and exciting.
This is the first (but not the last) time we will talk about why Christians follow some Old Testament laws, but not others. It’s because there are three types of Old Testament laws:
- Ceremonial: We don’t do them any more because Jesus’ sacrifice made them unnecessary
- Civil: Laws for Israel that God didn’t even expect other nations at that time to obey
- Moral: For everyone at all times (like the 10 Commandments)
If the next few weeks of reading gets hard, consider a hybrid strategy, mixing in some audio books as well.
Here are some free audio options:
The Bible Reading Coach podcast is designed to help anyone read through the Bible in a year. In 10-15 minutes each Friday, I’ll introduce you to the passage for the following week, including:
- What it’s about
- How to deal with challenging passages
- How the original readers saw it
- How it applies today
- And much more
After listening, take the next week to read the passage on your own. This time you’ll have a clearer understanding of it.
