Finding the Messiah in Leviticus December 13

Finding the Messiah in Leviticus December 13
Leviticus 19:32-20:8


Leviticus 19:32 Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the Lord. People find the Messiah when we treat others as God has treated us.


People often find it easy to dismiss the opinions of the elderly and avoid taking time to visit with them. But the fact that God commanded the Israelites to honor the elderly shows how seriously we should take the responsibility of respecting those older than we are. Their wisdom gained from experience can save us from many pitfalls. How do you show respect and honor to your elders? Tyndale (2012-02-17).

May I suggest, during Christmas and through out the year-take some time to gift, engage, visit and talk to the Elderly. Holiness is never just a warm feeling, but how we treat others
