Today, I am reading and commenting on Leviticus 22-23.

Two days ago on Tuesday I wrote about the connection between eating the Body of Christ in Communion and the priests eating the meat offered on the altar as described in Leviticus.   Today’s passage begins with warning the priests to respect the sacred offerings.  Which reminds me of Paul writing in 1 Corinthians that we don’t defile ourselves by not being respectful of the body and blood of Christ.  This passage warns that the priests may die if they treat the   offerings with contempt.  In the same way, Paul warns us that if we treat the Lord’s Supper with contempt we will experience illness and weakness.  The priests under the Law of Moses were required to approach the sacrifices with the appropriate reverence.  We should approach the sacrifice of Christ with even more reverence for God’s holiness.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
