“The Presence – A Study in the Book of Leviticus” is the current sermon series on Sunday mornings at 10:30 A.M. The purpose of this series is to more deeply understand the holiness of God, His righteous requirements for His people, and His gracious provision to atone for the sin of people so He can dwell in their midst. Essentially, we find all of these truths fulfilled in the person of Christ. Consider this passage from Hebrews 9:21-28…
21 And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
23 Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
See, if we’re to really understand the grace of God we must understand our sin. To understand our sin we must understand God’s holiness. In all of this, we find a joy-filled, worshipful experience with a God who has provided all necessary for His people to dwell with Him forever!
