Our Leviticus series continues as Connor Kraus takes a closer look at skin disease – at least how it’s addressed in the book of Leviticus! Disease and death are reminders of our living in a fallen world where we should expect these weapons of the enemy. If we don’t completely grasp this, we can’t fully understand and appreciate what Jesus did on the cross. Jesus won the war against the enemy (and disease and death), so someday we can be restored to eternal life with God in Heaven. But the spiritual battle continues here on Earth as the enemy continues his fight. When we are followers of Christ, we can leverage this knowledge against Satan by standing firm in our faith and sharing the Gospel with others. Yes, there is disease and death in this world. But beyond that is God, and He is eternal.

Connor continues our Leviticus message series with a frank conversation about some sensitive topics from Leviticus 18 and 20 – incest, adultery, child sacrifice, homosexuality, and bestiality. The penalty for these sins was death. It’s easy for us to look back at the Old Testament times, contemplate the kinds of sins God’s people were committing, and say that those were life-or-death circumstances. But we still live with life-or-death circumstances. We deserve death but are given life when we acknowledge our sin and trust in Jesus Christ. We can’t look back at the Canaanites with superiority. Nor can we look to our peers who have committed “worse sins” than we have. We are all deserving of death. But because of Jesus, we can have a spirit of life beyond the grave.
