Leviticus 21 & 22 — Be holy as the LORD is holy: The LORD sets us apart.

Rev. Scott Adle of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church & School in Collinsville, IL joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Leviticus 21 & 22.

The LORD is one who makes us holy. The hard truth is that the LORD has no place for sin in His presence. He sets apart His priests to not only give atonement to the people, but to be holy themselves. In grace, He set guidelines for the priests to make sure that they would be able to enter His presence without the same fate of Nadab and Abihu. The LORD is one who makes us holy which is why we stay close to His holy things (Word and Sacrament). “Lord God, You are holy and we are not. Make us clean by Your holy blood so that we may reflect HIs love back to You and to one another. In Christ, Amen”
