Year 4: Day 100: Leviticus 11

Theological Commentary: Click Here 

Discipleship Focus: Out

• Out: This is the focus of our mission.  These are the people to whom God has called us to go.  These are the people into whom we are focused on attempting to speak God’s truth.

Leviticus 11 reminds us about holiness.  The word holy means separate.  In Leviticus, we see that the kosher laws listed here help the Hebrew people understand that they are different from the world.  Being in a relationship with God is unique and special.

However, we also recognize that this is a part of the Law that Christians no longer are required to uphold.  Acts 10 tells us that God has made all things clean through Christ.  Through Christ, we are called to go into the Gentiles, not separate ourselves from them!  Therefore, in this chapter we actually see that we have a reminder to Christians about Out.  We learn from Leviticus 11 that our relationship with God does make us unique.  But rather than isolate ourselves from the world in our uniqueness, we are instead to go into the world and call others into a relationship with God as well.
