Leviticus 9:1–7

About this episode
We live in an age that treats worship like a consumer product. We shop for churches based on the quality of the coffee, the skill of the band, or the therapeutic value of the sermon. And when this man stumbles into a book like Leviticus, he finds it utterly incomprehensible. It feels like a foreign country with bizarre customs and a dead language. All the blood, the detailed regulations, the careful procedures, it all seems so arbitrary, so tedious, so irrelevant. But this is because we have forgotten the grammar of reality. We think worship is something we invent to meet our felt needs. The Bible teaches that worship is something God institutes so that we might approach Him and live. Leviticus is not a dusty rulebook for an ancient cult. It is the gracious provision of a holy God, showing sinful people how to come into His presence without being consumed.
