I can’t imagine the sadness jesus felt as the people he came to save shouted “crucify him!” He had so much compassion for each person who shouted that and even us today when we “shout” that with our actions when we sin. Thanking the Lord for grace and forgiveness and His perfect plan.
Jesus is so good. Everyday I need to be reminded of how much I need Him. He is the perfect example of love and the perfect vision of God. How incredible it is to be able to read his Word and talk to Him
Reading through Levicticus makes me so grateful and humbled by the cross. All throughout these chapters God repeats “for I am the Lord who sancitifies you.” I can’t sanctify myself but God offers me the gift through Jesus’ sacrifice.
“His blood shall be on us and our children!” How amazing and ironic that even as Jesus’ bloodguilt is on their heads, His blood redeems them as a peace offering to the Father God. They claimed responsibility for His murder as he was claiming responsibility for their every wrong.
Go through Leviticus, seeing how holy God is, how high and absolutely perfect His standards are. Standards we never could meet no matter how sincere our efforts. In steps Jesus to fulfil God’s righteous demands perfectly ! Making a way for us to be reconciled to God and fellowship with Him now and forevermore! Oh the mercy and love of God…
Each year on Palm Sunday we read the Passion (Matthew) as our gospel – this is the first year that I fully understand what Jesus did for me, for us. I am so thankfully for finding SRT and so grateful for the amazing, intelligent women participating in the reading of the bible. Your comments have turned on a light bulb in me and because of you all I am finally understanding the rituals of my Catholic upbringing and mass (instead of just going through the motions). I feel so blessed that I get to raise my 3 young children with the knowledge I am going from you all. God bless and thank you all again I look forward to my reading each morning and reading through your comments throughout the day.
Doing my bible study on the bus as I head to work today. Tears as I read Matthew. So much to take in. Thank you so much our amazing God for sending your only son and allowing us to mock, beat and crucify him (we are so, so awful), thank you for teaching us all about salvation and love, thank you Jesus for being willing to come and steadfastly and silently paying for all of my sins. The love is God really is beyond comprehension, simply amazing.
The law was given to show us that there was no way we could keep it… Jesus was given, willingly, to fulfill it completely. Leviticus is a challenge to get through, but I was struck this morning by the detail of the law and how it is impossible to keep – and how some Jews today are still trying. Jesus – the perfect sacrifice and God’s perfect plan to bring us back to Himself. Hallelujah Jesus!

I don’t think I ever saw that irony before. Amazing.
