Leviticus 19:14

About this episode
We are in Leviticus, a book that many modern Christians treat like a dusty attic full of strange furniture they don't know what to do with. To neglect Leviticus is to neglect the very grammar of holiness. And if you don't understand the grammar of holiness, you will never be able to write the sentences of a righteous life. This chapter, Leviticus 19, is the heart of what scholars call the Holiness Code. Holiness is not an abstract feeling or a mystical haze. It is about how you harvest your fields, how you treat your employees, how you conduct business, and, as we see in our text, how you treat the most vulnerable people in your society. God's holiness must be reflected in our holiness, and our holiness must take shape in the real world of dirt, commerce, and human relationships.
