Leviticus 4-5:1-13

• Without blood, there can be no forgiveness of sin – whether for priest, leader or common man, whether intentional or unintentional, whether it is by commission or omission.

Psalms 98

• It’s been a while since I’ve made a “joyful noise to the Lord.” Will do something about it.

1 Corinthians 15

• The message of first importance: that Jesus died for our sins, buried and that He rose again.
• Jesus’ resurrection is vital to our faith. Without it, our faith is in vain and we are still in our sins. Our hope would be only in this life. But! He did rise from the grave and He is alive! This is our greatest encouragement.

Isaiah 1

• The heart of the Father calling out to his children. Children he blessed and guided, but rebelled.

Leviticus 3

• Should not eat blood nor fat.. I don’t understand. I understand that we, now, through Jesus are no longer bound to the Old Testament Law.. that we should operate on a higher level – love. That the heart and motivation should be right.. what now though? Is there a symbolic meaning to this? Should we still take this literally? Perhaps maybe a health related reason? Or is it all a test – a test of obedience and trust?
