The Lord Bless You and Keep You Numbers 6:24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Friday was my birthday, and a great friend of mine sent me this blessing, and I wanted to share it with all of you. There is so much variety in what we find in Scripture. We find stories, parables, wisdom, promises, blessings, and guidance about how God calls us to live. This verse is a blessing. It is a beautiful blessing that I pray over each one of you listening to this episode. When I looked up the meaning of this blessing in the Enduring Word Commentary, it mentions that we often think of blessings as happiness, wealth, or comfort. We think if God is blessing our life, then life will be easy and comfortable. If our life is difficult, we think God is not blessing it. However, this is not the case. God does not promise us an easy life with no complications. He promises that He will be with us in those complications and difficulties. Blessings come from God, and only He knows exactly what blessings we need. We can ask Him for all the things that we think we need, but only He knows the plan of what we actually need. God's plan is for our highest and greatest good. Our plan only considers what we think would be good. But as we know from listening to our children's plans, we may not even be able to imagine the good God has in store for us. We only see our limited abilities; God knows our potential and our true abilities. We might settle for less than God wants to give us. The first line of this verse says, “The Lord bless you and keep you.” I really liked what the Enduring Word Commentary had to say about the “keep you” part. It was something I hadn't really thought of before. It said, “To be kept by the LORD is blessing indeed. Some are kept by their own sin and desire, some are kept by idolatry and greed, and others are kept by their own bitterness and anger. But to be kept by the LORD ensures life, peace, and success.” I love this! I looked up online what it means to be kept. It said, “To be kept generally means to be preserved, guarded, or maintained, often in a context of protection or care.” So, when the quote above says some are kept by their own sin, desires, idolatry, greed, bitterness, or anger, it means those are the things they rely on for protection. I think we have all been there. We have relied on unforgiveness or bitterness to protect us from getting hurt again. We put up walls so that no one can ever hurt us again. We have also been fooled into believing that greed and idolatry can protect. Instead of being kept by God and relying on Him to protect us, we put more and more money away for retirement. We try to rely on our own strength and our own means to protect ourselves. We look to our own sin and our own desires to protect us and help us live the life we want, instead of counting on the Lord to keep us and give us the amazing life we don't deserve but that He wants to give us. The next part of that verse says, “the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.” Imagine the Lord's face shining upon you. How amazing would that be? Again, the Enduring Word Commentary states this, “To have the glorious, pleased face of God shining upon a man is the greatest gift he could have. To know that as God looks upon you, He is well pleased – not because of who you are, or what you have done, but because you are in Jesus Christ – there is no greater source of peace and power in life.” I think many of us have a hard time believing that God is pleased with us. Especially if we think of all the ways we feel we have let Him down. We know our sins, we know our history. We know how unfaithful to the Lord we have been. However, God doesn't love us just when we are faithful. He loves us always, even when we are not. I love where it says that God is not pleased with you because of who you are or what you have done, but because you are in Jesus Christ. Can you believe that God is pleased with you? He is. He may not like every single thing you do, but He is not constantly disappointed with you, as we imagine. We often get disappointed in others because they do things we don't expect. God knows us; He knows the world we live in, and He knows the human condition. There isn't anything that we do that surprises Him. Therefore, we are not constantly letting Him down. He is pleased with our efforts. The last line says, “The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” In the Enduring Word Commentary, they quote David Wenham, a British Bible Scholar. Wenham said, “To lift up one's eyes or face means to pay attention, and to look favorably towards. “When God smiles on his people, they can be sure that he will be gracious to them; that is, he will deliver them from all their troubles. He will answer their prayers and save them from their enemies.” How amazing is that? We can rest assured that God will answer our prayers and save us from our enemies. Hopefully we all knew that God does this, but if we didn't, now we do. If we already knew this, then this verse is further proof to keep in our arsenal, so when the enemy starts in with all his lies, we have this verse to remember. We can remind ourselves that God smiles upon us, delivers us from our troubles, and answers our prayers. The verse ends with peace. Peace is something we could all use. This is probably what people ask me to pray for most. Even if I am praying for healing, I am praying for the Peace of Christ to come over the people so they don't worry. This world is so anxious. Everyone is so full of fear and anxiety. Peace seems to be something that we all struggle to find. Peace is possible, even in difficult situations. I have had peace in situations where people told me I shouldn't have peace. My son was in rehab, and yet I had peace because I knew in my heart that God was taking care of everything. My kids have struggled with a lot over the years, yet I have been able to be full of peace in very chaotic situations because I know that God is in control. I know that no matter what things look like, nothing is impossible for God. It could look like the end is near, and yet if God wants to change it, He can. God has done so many incredible miracles in my life and in my family's life. I don't have to blindly trust that God works miracles, as I have been blessed to witness so many. I bet if you look back at your life, you will see plenty of ways God has been working. You may not consider them miracles, but He has been touching your life and answering your prayers. I guarantee it. That is a great exercise to do regularly. Sit down and look back over your life. Look at all the various times you have called upon God and look at the ways He has come through. If you look for God in your life, I promise you won't come up empty-handed. Ask God to highlight the miracles in your life and He will. Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode. Lord, we thank you for all the miracles you have done in our lives. We thank you for all the times you have shown up in unexpected ways. We thank you for blessing us and keeping us. You are amazing, and we are truly blessed. Lord, help us to truly believe that you are looking down upon us and that you are pleased with us. We love you so much, and we ask this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name. Amen! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I am away camping this week. I plan to keep posting, but if I miss a day, don't worry; all is good. I just didn't have wifi that day. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I! Have a blessed day!

John gives us the inside track on the young players Tottenham are currently developing, as we assess the winners and losers from the recent pre-season tour and identify the academy prospects worth keeping a particularly close eye on as the new campaign approaches. We debate whether Tottenham's increasing focus on first-team development over academy progression represents a genuine concern for the long-term future of the club, before turning our attention back to the immediate issues facing Spurs. With attacking options currently looking a concern, we discuss what Tottenham Hotspur have to do in the remaining days of the window and examine the future of captain Cristian Romero, amid reports that he could be open to a move to bitter rivals Arsenal this summer. We also debate whether Lucas Bergvall could leave the club before the transfer deadline and whether Spurs would be making a major mistake by allowing Djed Spence to depart, with reports suggesting his representatives are exploring the possibility of a move to Manchester United. Finally, we assess the job Roberto De Zerbi's has done to date and whether there is any genuine pressure on the Spurs head coach given the amount of money spent by the Club this summer, and look at what Tottenham can realistically achieve ahead of the upcoming season.

Sermon OutlineBig Idea: We naturally hunger for more than mere existence. Jesus declares that He alone is the Bread of Life who satisfies our deepest hunger and gives eternal, abundant life.Key Verse: “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” — John 6:35I. We Hunger for More Than Mere ExistenceCentral question: Where can that life be found?II. Bread Meant LifeTo understand John 6, we need to appreciate the significance of bread in the ancient world.Bread represented:Sustenance — wheat and barley bread were staples of everyday life.Provision — “bread” could represent food and physical necessities generally.Fellowship — breaking bread communicated hospitality, acceptance, friendship, and peace.Sacred memory — Passover bread recalled the Exodus; manna recalled God's provision in the wilderness.Throughout Scripture, therefore, bread points beyond itself to God as the One who provides life for His people.This background makes Jesus' declaration extraordinarily powerful: “I am the bread of life.”Jesus does not merely give the bread we ultimately need. Jesus is the Bread.III. The Crowd Wanted the Bread but Missed the SaviorJohn 6:25–29IV. Jesus Is Greater Than MosesJohn 6:30–34V. Jesus Is the Bread of LifeJohn 6:35VI. Zoe Does Not Mean an Easy LifeJesus' promise of abundant life does not mean:our problems disappear,suffering ends,life becomes easy,Christians never experience sorrow.Jesus Himself says:“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33Sermon ApplicationThere are two responses to Jesus' words.For those who do not yet follow Christ:Do not make the mistake of the Galilean crowd—wanting what Jesus can provide while missing Jesus Himself. The Bread of Life is offered freely. Come to Christ, trust Him, repent, and receive the life only He can give.For followers of Christ:We can belong to Jesus while still clinging tightly to areas of our lives we refuse to surrender. Yet we cannot experience the fullness of life in Christ while deliberately withholding parts of ourselves from Him.The question becomes: What am I still trying to control that Christ is asking me to surrender?Sermon QuestionsWhat do you think people today most commonly pursue in an attempt to experience a meaningful and fulfilling life? How does Jesus' promise of zoe differ?Why is the cultural and biblical significance of bread important for understanding Jesus' statement, “I am the bread of life”?The crowd wanted what Jesus could give them without recognizing who He was. In what ways are we tempted to do the same thing today?What is the significance of Jesus contrasting the manna given in Moses' day with Himself as the “true bread from heaven”? What does this reveal about Jesus' identity?Jesus promises abundant life but does not promise an easy life. What area of your life might Christ be asking you to trust Him with or surrender more completely to Him?Resources ConsultedCarson, D. A., R. T. France, J. A. Motyer, and G. J. Wenham, eds.

“The first thing I saw that I just loved so much is that the women here are so fearless.” — Amy WenhamThis conversation with Amy was one of those episodes where I found myself nodding almost the entire time. I've been talking about how badass Vietnamese women are for years, but Amy put language to things I've seen but could never fully articulate.What I loved most is that she didn't just compare Vietnam to the UK — she compared it to Dubai, a place where she saw firsthand how a country can transform itself, empower women, and build an entirely new entrepreneurial ecosystem. And according to her, Vietnam is on that trajectory too — maybe even faster.We also explored identity, expectations, family pressure, and the very real tension between being a modern entrepreneur and living within traditional structures. It's something every foreigner eventually observes here, but Amy broke it down with empathy and clarity.Key Talking PointsWhy Vietnamese women are some of the most fearless, entrepreneurial people Amy has ever met — anywhere in the world.The surprising similarities between Dubai and Vietnam when it comes to empowering female founders.How social media pressures — especially the obsession with going viral — impact women and businesses in Vietnam.The difference between small-town expectations and big-city ambition for Vietnamese women.Why Vietnam feels like a “mother country,” and what that means for its rapid growth and future.Chapters & Timestamps03:00 — Amy's Journey From London to Dubai to VietnamAmy talks about arriving in Dubai, cultural shock, and eventually discovering the same energy in Vietnam.10:00 — Feminine Power, Subservience & Small-Town vs City LifeWe unpack the contrast between modern entrepreneurship and traditional expectations.18:00 — The Pressures on Vietnamese Women: Family, Work, MarriageAmy explains the invisible load women carry and how family structure supports — and pressures — them.27:00 — Social Media Culture & The Myth of ViralityWe talk about TikTok culture, “mukbang,” seeding, and why going viral is usually bad for business.45:00 — Vietnam's Future & Why It's a ‘Mother' CountryWhy Vietnam's growth will be heavily shaped by women — and why the country feels inherently feminine."Send me a message!"Support the show

This week Jeff and Dave continue their discussion of John Wenham's arguments against the hypothesis of Markan priority and the Q document as explaining the many similarities in the synoptic Gospels. Here they pick up with "external evidence" in chapter 5, after a concluding look at the internal evidence. Wenham argues in chapters 5 and following for the priority of Matthew, reestablishing the reliability of Papias and other church fathers like Irenaeus and Origen, in the overwhelming testimony that Matthew was first, and wrote Ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ. Does this mean in a Semitic language like Hebrew or Aramaean – the traditional interpretation – or is the understanding commonly attributed to Eusebius correct, that Matthew wrote "in a Semitic style", but not necessarily in the Hebrew language? The arguments are complicated, and require very careful attention to sort the wheat from the chaff. Was Peter the inspiration for Mark's gospel? Was Peter in Rome, and if, so when? Come along for a careful look at a perennially interesting and pressing question, namely the relationship between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Also, be sure to check out the giveaway of the brand-new collected works of Aristotle by Hackett publishing, our sponsor. You can find it at this link.

This week the guys dive into John Wenham's intriguing 1992 book Redating Matthew, Mark and Luke: A Fresh Assault on the Synoptic Problem. As they unpack the dense argument, see how Wenham challenges the generally accepted order of the synoptic gospel accounts (supposedly Mark and the mysterious “Q” come first) as well as the generally accepted “late” dates for each (beginning in the 60s-70s at the earliest).  Using close comparative readings as well as placing the texts in a strict historical context, Wenham builds a case for the traditional, patristic chronological order of the gospels as well as dates much closer to the events of the life of Christ. So, get your pericopes in order and be prepared to rethink everything you thought you knew about “oral tradition.”

From burying cash to busting into the Dome, Lee Wenham's criminal career reads like a Hollywood script. But how does a small-time crook end up masterminding one of Britain's most audacious heists? Alice Levine and Matt Forde sit down with Wenham to uncover the man behind the plan. He reveals how breaking into the Dome was easier than cracking a cash point, why diamonds never impressed him and how prison life was a breeze (for him, at least). Plus, the one regret that still haunts this reformed robber.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

According to mytho-historical accounts, the ancient Amazons wore pants while riding into battle. But the trend this tribe of warrior women set was short lived. For nearly two millennia after their demise, the notion of women wearing pants was steeped in controversy. And while this controversy has diminished, it is by no means over. From the fuss over politician's pant suits to the unofficial dress codes which still pervade corporate America, there are indications that we've yet to move past old expectations of women's fashion. This hour we speak with historians and fashion experts about the history of women and pants.

Have you ever felt intimidated by theological conversations? Today, we talked to Dr. Amy Brown Hughes about the role of dialogue in generating theology in the early church. Famous theologians like Methodius, Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine published conversations with others, including prominent women in their lives, such as Thecla, Macrina and Monica. Amy argues that theology was not an elite genre or closed discussion then – nor should it be so today! She thoughtfully engages with many issues surrounding our engagement with God and invites us to enter into theology as a hospitable conversation. We'd encourage you to listen and discover aspects of the patristic period that may surprise and challenge your preconceptions – and then come join the dialogue in the classroom from July 14-18 at Regent.BioDr. Amy Brown Hughes is an Associate Professor of Theology at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts. She earned her Ph.D. in historical theology with an emphasis in early Christianity from Wheaton College in 2013. Dr. Hughes specializes in early Christianity, focusing on Trinitarian and Christological thought, theological anthropology, and the role of women in early Christian history. She co-authored the book Christian Women in the Patristic World with Lynn H. Cohick. We're excited that Amy will be joining us at Regent from July 14-18 to teach a class on Theology as Dialogue in Early Christianity. Summer Listener SurveyPlease fill out our Listener Survey before the end of July for the opportunity to win a $100 Regent College Bookstore Gift Card.Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Joseph Jenkins Knapp, Jr. was expecting to receive a sizable inheritance upon the death of his 82-year-old great uncle, wealthy retired shipmaster and trader Captain Joseph White. But with debts piling up, Knapp decided he couldn't wait for natural causes; in April of 1830, he and his brother, John Francis Knapp, hired a hitman to murder him, faked some blackmail letters, and, in the end, didn't get any inheritance at all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jesus changed our world forever. But who was he and what do we know about him? David Wenham's Jesus in Context: Making Sense of the Historical Figure (Cambridge UP, 2021) is a concise and wide-ranging engagement with that enduring and elusive subject. Exploring the sources for Jesus and his scholarly reception, he surveys information from Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts, and also examines the origins of the gospels, as well as the evidence of Paul, who had access to the earliest oral traditions about Jesus.  Wenham demonstrates that the Jesus of the New Testament makes sense within the first century CE context in which he lived and preached. He offers a contextualized portrait of Jesus and his teaching; his relationship with John the Baptist and the Qumran community (and the Dead Sea Scrolls); his ethics and the Sermon on the Mount, his successes and disappointments. Wenham also brings insights into Jesus' vision of the future and his understanding of his own death and calling. Crawford Gribben is a professor of history at Queen's University Belfast.

Introduction What would it be like to preach and teach through the filter of the beatitudes? What would the impact be on us as speakers and our congregations as listeners? Today, we will look at the first of the beatitudes: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:3 NIV11) 1. The Meaning in the context of the Gospel     - The kingdom is a key theme in Matthew. “In Matthew it is John the Baptist who first announces the coming of the kingdom of heaven', but Jesus takes the theme up in his preaching, in the sermon on the mount, in parables and elsewhere. The kingdom is the treasure beyond price, the pearl surpassing all others (13:44-46). It is what prophets and righteous men have been longing for: the day of salvation, the time when God's promises are fulfilled (13:16, 17). It is a time when moral compromises will no longer be appropriate (Matt. 5). It is thus in a real sense 'eschatological', when 'this age' will come to an end and God will rule perfectly. For Matthew this time has come with Jesus: he is fulfilling the promises and is casting out Satan (11:4, 5; 12:28). And yet in another sense the time has not yet come, and Jesus teaches his disciples to pray 'Your kingdom come', and speaks of the future coming of the son of man to gather the elect and to judge the nations (6:10; 24:30). Matthew holds the present and future of the kingdom together in parables, such as that of the wheat and the tares, which are to be left growing together till harvest' (13:30). The present is a time when the kingdom is growing, but there is ambiguity: the perfection lies ahead, beyond Jesus' epoch-changing death when finally the son of man will return (13:37-43).” (Taken from ‘Exploring the New Testament', Wenham and Walton, 219-220)     - The Sermon on the Mount illustrates what it means that Jesus is inaugurating the kingdom. Chapters 5-7 unpack the beatitudes and especially what a kingdom life looks like. 2. The Meaning for a preacher/teacher      A. Poor in spirit in approaching the text         - Empty before filled. A devotional approach to the text is needed before, or alongside, a study and preparation approach. Self-examination, self-reflection, self-emptying are needed in our devotional times so that we approach God with humility and then we find grace in our time of need: “Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16 NIV11) Come to a text with an open mind and heart.  What you already know could get in the way of what you do not yet know, and what God wants to reveal to you     B. Poor in spirit in living the text         - Let the text have its affect on you in the days running up to the event. Live the text. Pray about implementing what you are learning in your own life. This is why we need time to prepare, not last-minute lesson prep. Only then can we walk with the text, letting it affect us. Then we bring a living word, not a dead word. When the Word has had its effect on us we are demonstrating to our hearers that we need this word, not just that the congregation needs this word.         - “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 NIV11)     C. Poor in spirit in approaching the way we preach or teach the text         - Speak without superiority.  Acknowledge publicly in your teaching that you have not arrived, that you do not know it all, you are still learning, you have knowledge gaps. Seek to learn as much as teach. Your group will teach you if you allow them to. Ask questions, use small groups, solicit feedback. Make it about Jesus, not you. Jesus emptied himself so as to serve us: “emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant,” (Philippians 2:7 NAS95) Next week we will get into the second Beatitude, but for today I'd like to know what you think. How can we preach and teach in a way that is informed by the first beatitude?  What kinds of questions does this bring to your mind regarding preaching and teaching? Why not pray over the beatitudes, asking God to reveal how they can flavour your speaking? If God reveals anything to you, please drop me a line. Please add your comments on this week's topic. We learn best when we learn in community.  Do you have a question about teaching the Bible? Is it theological, technical, or practical? Send me your questions or suggestions.

Our twin boys are now 12, and participating in the family deer hunt for the first time this fall. Last month I took them to their final firearms safety class, in the basement of the Hopkins VFW. I set up at a table in the back, hoping to work on a few items while eavesdropping on the class here and there. In fact, I had started working on this sermon on Leviticus 21–22 and brought a commentary with me.The guest speaker that night was a DNR conservation officer. He talked about the difference between preservation and conservation of natural resources. At one point, I looked up at the screen, and he had a slide about Minnesota's laws against “wanton waste” — “a person may not wantonly waste or destroy a usable part of a protected wild animal.” Strange enough, I had my Leviticus commentary out and was reading about 22:28: “you shall not kill an ox or a sheep and her young in one day.” And I read this in the commentary, "More than mere sentimentality seems to underlie this law. It is in conformity with other laws as that forbidding men to take a bird and its eggs (Deuteronomy 22:6–7), or to cook a kid in its mother's milk (Exodus 23:19; 34:26; Deuteronomy 14:21), or wantonly to destroy trees (Deuteronomy 20:19-20). . . . Every Israelite was expected to do his part in conservation by avoiding wanton destruction of the God-given creation" (Wenham, 296). There I was, planning ahead for this sermon, assuming that Leviticus will be mostly obscure to modern life, and there in the basement of the VFW in Hopkins, of all places, a conservation officer is addressing one the topics of Leviticus 21–22.Two DangersI mention this surprising encounter because some truths in Leviticus can pop off the page at times today. Some truths here seem to come “straight to us,” as it were. When this happens, the danger can be to read them “straight through” to ourselves, and not press to see how they are at work in God's unfolding plan to prepare the way for, and develop categories for, and cultivate longings for Christ, and help us know our deep, multi-dimensional needs designed to bring us to him.But on the other hand, many truths in Leviticus are more obscure and distant. Then our danger can be to read the text at arm's length and not work to bring it home to ourselves through Christ. If 22:28 popped with unexpected relevancy at the VFW, perhaps 21:9 would be the verse that's most unnerving of all to our modern sentiments: “the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by whoring, profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire.” The apostle Paul's great doxology at the end of his greatest letter gets at this reality of God both making himself known to us in the Old Testament, while also keeping certain mysteries secret until the coming of Christ. Romans 16:25–27: "Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen." Paul says that the “gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ” is both according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages past but also has been “made known to all nations,” and that “through the prophetic writings” of the Old Testament. As Christians, as we read the Old Testament, including Leviticus, we find both promises to be fulfilled in Christ as well as mysteries to be revealed in his coming and new covenant.Let's approach Leviticus 21–22 with this framework in mind: promises to be fulfilled and mysteries to be revealed. What are these chapters making known about our God and his salvation? And what here is mysterious, or kept secret, to the first readers but now made known to us in Jesus?But first, let's do a quick flyover of the terrain of these two chapters.Holy Priests and Sacrifices We saw last week that chapters 18–20 addressed the holiness of “all the congregation of the people of Israel” (Leviticus 18:1; 19:1; 20:1). Chapters 21–22 now turn to the holiness of the priests and the sacrifices.In 21:1–8, we have stricter funeral and marriage requirements for priests, compared to the rest of the people. Verses 1–6: priests may leave their duties to participate in death and burial rituals only for members of their immediate household. Why? Verse 6: “They shall be holy to their God” — distinct from the common people. As for marriage, again the standard is stricter than the rest of the people. Why? Verses 7–8: “the priest is holy to his God. You shall sanctify him . . . .”Verses 10–15 give even stricter standards for the high priest. After all, there is only one of him. He cannot just up and leave tabernacle during his time of service. So, as for funerals, verses 10–12, he shall not participate in death rituals at all — even for his father or mother. As for marriage, verses 13–15, the high priest may not marry any previously involved, even a widow, to prevent any uncertainties about the high priestly line.Verses 16-23 prevent any priest with physical blemishes from active service: no blind, lame, deformed, diseased, or otherwise disabled man is to go through the veil or serve at the altar. Chapter 22, verses 1-9, addresses what to do when priests become ritually unclean. They must abstain from active service, and from eating holy food, until they are clean.Verses 10–16 answers, Who may eat from the priestly food? Only those of a priest's immediate household who are ritually clean. And if someone eats of it by accident, and then realizes it, then, according to verse 14, he should add a fifth to its value and give to the priest.The last major section is 22:17–25: as with blemished priests, so blemished sacrifices are not appropriate to the system. And the deformities list here overlaps with the one in chapter 21 about priests, which is telling, as we'll see.Already we mentioned verse 28. Verses 26–30 is a more general section, not only to priests, but clearly important to the priests who are handling sacrificial animals. Whether exercising dominion over creation, or executing the activities of the cultus, God's people are to be respectful and restrained, not violent or wanton.Finally, verses 31–33 capture a summary for the whole two chapters.So then, what might we highlight there that God makes known to his people to prepare them for the coming of Christ, and what mysteries are kept secret?1) God Is Holy.Chapter 21, verse 8, is programmatic for the whole of these two chapters, and picked again in the summary at the end of chapter 22. First, look at 21:8, which is God's explanation for why he has stricter standards for the priests: “You shall sanctify him [the priest], for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I, the Lord, who sanctify you, am holy.” The central teaching of the whole book, as we've seen again and again, is that the Lord, the one true God — whose covenantal name is Yahweh — he is holy. That is the bedrock of these chapters. Verse 8: “I, the Lord, . . . am holy.” And the refrain, “I am the Lord,” twelve times in these chapters, is an abbreviated reprise of verse 8: “I, the Lord, . . . am holy.”What does it mean that God is holy? What Leviticus has made clear is that God's holiness relates to his being separate or distinguished from his created world and his covenant people. As God, he is unique; he is utterly distinct from, and above, all else. He is holy; he is other. None is like him.But holiness means more than just separate and unique. When the seraphim in Isaiah 6 cry out in worship, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” they are not just saying, “Separate, Separate, Separate.” God is not only separate from all else; he is not only other, but he is other and better. His holiness is not only the fact of his unique genus as God; his holiness is also a reason to worship. His holiness, we could say, is his infinite value and worth. Yes, he is other. But his otherness is not lesser, or neutral. He is other and better. Separate and greater. Unique and glorious.What, then, does holiness mean for his people? Go to the chapters' other bookend in 22:31-33: “So you shall keep my commandments and do them: I am the Lord. And you shall not profane my holy name, that I may be sanctified among the people of Israel. I am the Lord who sanctifies you, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am the Lord.” Note here, as in verse 8, the bi-directional use of the word “sanctify.” God's people sanctify him: “that I may be sanctified among the people.” And God sanctifies his people: “I am the Lord who sanctifies you.” Sanctify has one meaning when God's people sanctify him, and it has another meaning when he sanctifies his people.For the people to sanctify God means that they acknowledge his holiness and treat him as holy. God's people don't make him holy. He is already holy, to put it mildly. Rather, his people acknowledge his holiness, and they adore him for it. They see his worth and delight in it. They set him apart as other and better in their minds and in their hearts and through their words and through their actions. And so, in time, the surrounding world will be confronted with God's infinite value and worth as his people treat him as what he is: holy, infinitely and uniquely valuable and worthy. They sanctify him.But what does it mean for God to sanctify his people? That's the second main theme in these chapters.2) God Makes His People Holy.The main refrain of these two chapters, coming six times, at the end of each section is “I am the Lord who sanctifies you.” We saw it in 21:8; it comes again in verses 15 and 23. Then in chapter 22, verses 9, 16, and 32.So, the people sanctify God by treating him as the holy one who he really is, and he sanctifies his people by making them the holy ones that they are not. Mark the difference. Our sanctifying him acknowledges and adores who he is in himself. His sanctifying us makes us what we are not in ourselves. And his sanctifying of his people happens in two ways, both equally precious. One is instantaneous; the other is progressive.In 22:32, God refers to his instantaneous sanctifying of his people, in the past, when he says, I “brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God.” That was a one-time event. He delivered them, and made them his own, and thus sanctified them. He made them other and better than the Egyptians and Canaanites — not that his people were deserving, but because they were his. He sanctified them.Also he sanctifies his people progressively, in the present tense, as he says six times, “I am the Lord who sanctifies you.” This is what Leviticus is doing: the tabernacle, the sacrifices, the priests, the regulations — the holy God, otherwise unapproachable, is making a way to sanctify his sinful people that they might dwell near and with him.So first, they were not holy, but common, and he took them as his own, making them holy. And now, he draws near to them in this tabernacle arrangement that they might increasingly be holy and draw near to him. He not only graciously makes them holy once, by rescuing them, but also graciously makes them holy incrementally and continually that they might know and enjoy him.Which corresponds to two important categories of salvation for us as Christians today: we call them justification and sanctification. In justification, our God rescues us by faith alone, apart from our action, as in Exodus 14: “see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. . . . you have only to be silent.” Then in sanctification, as in Leviticus, he makes us progressively holy and involves our efforts and actions.And don't miss this: these are both graces from God. Justification by faith, apart from our doing, is grace. And God making us practically holy, through faith, including our efforts, is grace. This is double grace: the exodus and the tabernacle — instantaneous justification and progressive sanctification. It is grace to be delivered from Egypt while you stand and watch and only have to be silent. And it is grace to be delivered from the sins of Egypt that still cling to you, as you draw near to God through his appointed means and are changed from one degree of holiness to another.Remember, holiness is not just otherness. It is other and better — in God and in us. So brothers and sisters, let's get to know the joy of holiness. Why would we settle for only half of his grace? Why would we want only half of Christ? Why would we want forgiveness of our past sins without also rescue, through holiness, from the misery of more sin? Let's prize the double graces of both justification and sanctification.But we haven't yet addressed the main problem underpinning these chapters. God is holy, unblemished, but his people are not. Not only do they need to be made holy to dwell with him, but also their moral blemishes, called sin, must be dealt with. Which moves us toward the “secrets kept” in these chapters, and in particular the call in these chapters for the priests and sacrificial animals to be without blemish.This is right at the very heart of how Leviticus works — how God setup this temporary system to create categories in our minds and point forward in history and anticipate the coming of his Son, and all the while show us the depth of our sin and need for Jesus.The reason that the priests on active duty must be without blemish is because the people are blemished. And the reason the animals that are offered must be without blemish is because the people are blemished. The sacrifices are substitutes for sinful people. Gracious and accommodating as the whole system is, it is fitting that physically unblemished animals stand in for God's morally blemished people. And that physically unblemished priests (though morally blemished themselves) handle at the altar those unblemished sacrifices for God's blemished people.The reason for emphasizing this now is the repeated phrase in chapter 22:Verse 19, about a burnt offering: “if it is to be accepted for you it shall be a male without blemish.” Verse 20: “You shall not offer anything that has a blemish, for it will not be acceptable for you.” Verse 25, about any animals blemished by a foreigner: “they will not be accepted for you.” Verse 29: “you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.” God's system requires unblemished priests and unblemished sacrifices because his people are blemished. And if God's blemished people are to dwell near him, and with him, to know him and enjoy him, then the penalty for his people's blemishes must be transferred to an unblemished substitute through an unblemished priest. However, Leviticus could only point.And so, says Hebrews 9:14, “if the blood of goats and bulls . . . sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.” God's own Son, come in human flesh, morally unblemished, without sin, made atonement fully, as both priest and sacrifice, in a way that Leviticus could only anticipate. And so we have moved from what here is “made known” to the “secrets kept.” Let's close, very briefly with three. Three contrasts here that accentuate the glory of Christ and his new covenant.The PriestsIn Leviticus, the priests have a critical part to play as the human instruments who accomplish the everyday work to keep the tabernacle and sacrificial system continually operating.In the New Testament, we have one priest: Jesus, our great high priest. Nowhere does the New Testament call any local church leaders, or even apostles, priests. Instead, the lead or teaching office is called variously elder, overseer, and pastor. And these pastor-elders are not a separate class in the church. They are first and foremost sheep. In Christ, our formal leaders are not technically held to higher standards, but held more strictly to the same essential standards as the whole church (1 Timothy 3:1–8; Titus 1:5–9). And they are not priests. Rather, all the church is a royal priesthood, together showing our God's holiness to the world — as a holiness that is not only other but better.The DisabledWhat are we to say about the exclusion of the disabled in this chapter? So 21:18: “no one who has a blemish shall draw near, a man blind or lame, or one who has a mutilated face or a limb too long, or a man who has an injured foot or an injured hand, or a hunchback or a dwarf or a man with a defect in his sight or an itching disease . . .” First, remember 21:18 is talking about priests on active duty at the altar. This is not about exclusion from God's people, or exclusion from the priestly tribe, or even being cut off from priestly food (21:22, “He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy things”). Remember the symbolism of the system. The reason the priests serving at the altar, and the sacrifice on the altar, must be physically unblemished is as a substitute for God's blemished people.And, then, stand in awe of the contrast we see in the new covenant, as Christ himself, our great high priest, comes among us and, moved with compassion, touches lepers, heals invalids (John 5), restores sight to the blind, make the mute to speak, the deaf to hear, and says in Luke 14:13, “when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed . . . .” The ProstituteFinally, what about the priest's daughter in 21:9? “And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by whoring, profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire” No funeral for her father to attend.First of all, this is not to be harder on daughters than sons. Just a chapter before, in 20:10: “If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.” So, do not read 21:9 as if the woman should be punished for fornication but not the man. Rather, the context in chapter 21 is the holiness of the priests. She is a daughter of a priest. Whereas a son would presumably grow up and become his own priestly household, a daughter who remained unmarried would stay in her father's household. Apparently, the live threat was a priest's daughter being drawn into prostitution, and profaning her father, the priest, sanctified to God among the people.Whatever the details, Yahweh's punishments are never unjust. And yet what mercy we have in Christ, and what glory he demonstrates through his sanctifying grace. When Paul writes in Ephesians 5 about Christ's care for his bride, he does in strikingly Levitical terms: “Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.” Apart from Christ, God may justly burn a whoring daughter of a priest with fire, and do her no wrong, but in Christ, he washes his sinful bride with water that he might present her to himself in holiness, without blemish.The TableAnd as his bride, we come to the Table, receive his holy food, as members of the great high priest's household: bread to symbolize his broken body. And the cup, for his shed blood. This Table is not another sacrifice but a reminder and means of his ongoing grace for the sinful people he is making holy and without blemish.
