Hey PPN Family,

I am currently reading through the book of Leviticus for my personal devotions and it has been a struggle.  Out of all 66 books in the Bible, this has always been the hardest one for me to read personally, because it is full of lists and instructions about the different kinds of animal sacrifices that need to be given for different kinds of sins and crimes.  In fact, if you are struggling with insomnia, I highly recommend that you give reading Leviticus a try.

Although Leviticus is a difficult read, the main thing that fascinates me is that all of these precise directives and dictates point towards the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus to save us from our sins.  Isaiah the prophet writes about Jesus in Isaiah 53:5 (NLT) “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins.  He was beaten so we could be whole.  He was whipped so we could be healed.”

Jesus sacrificed his life so that all of our sins, past, present and future, can be forgiven.  That is good news for all of us. 

If you would like to experience the peace and joy that comes from knowing that all of your sins are washed away, and that eternal life is yours as a free gift from God (John 3:16) Jesus is only a prayer away.

God bless,
