Finding the Messiah in Leviticus December 5

Finding the Messiah in Leviticus December 5 Leviticus 15:16-33

The verses in this section are not implying that sex is dirty ordisgusting. God created sex for (1) the enjoyment of married couples, (2) the continuation of the race, and (3) the preservation of the covenant. Everything must be seen and done with a view toward God’s love and ultimate authority. Sex is not separate from spirituality and God’s care. God is concerned about our sexual habits, for they form and reveal our relationship to our heavenly Father. He designed us, including our sexuality, as wonderfully complex and unified spiritual creatures. We tend to separate our physical and spiritual lives, but there is an inseparable intertwining. God must be Lord over our whole being—including our sex lives. In what ways do you acknowledge your relationship with God in your sexuality? Read Ephesians 5:21-33. What “profound mystery does our Sexuality reveal? How does this section reveal both God’s demand for Holiness and how Jesus Christ meets that demand?
