Leviticus 19 — Be holy as the LORD is holy: Live by the golden rule

Rev. David Boisclair of Faith and Bethesda Lutheran Churches in Pine Lawn, MO, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Leviticus 19.

The LORD is holy and we are called to be holy. The LORD gives us eternal truths of Himself, love for Him, and love for our neighbor. The beauty of God’s law is that He has given us order that looks out for our well being, but also gives us opportunities to serve. He has mercy on the poor and the sojourners and uses His people to leave food in the fields, provide a decent wage, protect the blind and deaf, and welcome the stranger. He re-affirms His commitment to us that He not only has given us everything in Christ, but will help us to live holy lives in His name. “Lord God, fill us with Your holiness in Christ that we give You glory by living holy lives by loving our neighbors as ourselves. Amen”
