God’s Mission in Leviticus

Dear People of God:

Leviticus is a prelude to the work of the Cross. It is a call to be a holy people who reflect the holiness of God. This is the attractiveness of mission that God’s people who are sinful by nature are being redeemed and renewed.  Mission is an invitation to belong to a holy God and to move from death to life.

I am in India right now and it was here, exactly 53 years ago to the day on Sept 16th 1972, that I knelt next to my bed and accepted the offer of Christ to give my life to him. I can never forget the amazing feeling of being forgiven and of the love of Jesus that washed over me repeatedly like the waves of the sea.

The Mission of God is two-fold in Leviticus. One is to constantly purify me from sin and to make me more holy like Him. The other is my call to the world and to reflect a life of holiness which, invites all peoples back to God.

Be Holy as He is Holy!

Your servant,

J. David Singh
