Leviticus 1:10–13

About this episode
We live in an age that despises definitions, detests boundaries, and is allergic to prescribed forms. Modern worship, so-called, is often a slushy, sentimental affair, driven by what makes us feel good, what seems authentic to us, or what the latest trend dictates. But when we come to a book like Leviticus, we are brought up short. We are confronted with a God who is utterly holy, and who therefore has very specific, non-negotiable requirements for how sinners are to approach Him. He is not looking for creative suggestions from the marketing department. Leviticus is the grammar book for the worship of the holy God. It is detailed, it is bloody, and to the modern mind, it is strange. To dismiss these rituals as primitive or irrelevant is to take a pair of scissors to the very fabric of redemption.
