Leviticus 20 & 21

In Leviticus 20, God lays out guidelines for not sacrificing your children to false gods and not caving to lustful, flesh-filled desires. He wants people to not be objectified and to be treated with value, worth, respect and of course - love. All people are made in God's image and deserve to know they are worthy, valued, seen and loved - especially by God. Jesus died on the cross for every one of us. In Leviticus 21, instructions are given for priests. God is holy and they are to represent God's holiness to the nation. God's honor, reputation, and character is holy and they represent that to the people around them. Jesus is our ultimate High Priest. He never had a blemish or sin that needed atonement. He is the spotless, perfect sacrifice Himself. God gave the very best Heaven had. We are made whole, perfect and acceptable to God through faith in Him. It's the only way.
