Lord willing we are going to soldier through this morning. We are going to be trying to finish up Leviticus chapter 23. You know, the the New Testament is all and I'm not trying to like marginalize the New Testament or anything like that, but it's low hanging fruit. I love low hanging fruit, right? I'm not the hardest worker. Right? When I go to the apple orchard Do you need a ladder? No. I don't need a ladder. I'll be picking most of my family's apples up right off the ground sir. I don't want to be bothered. And I love the New Testament because it is such instant it's for me it's like instant gratification. You know, you can just start reading any book in the New Testament just be like, like instantly like oh, yeah, wow. Yeah. And and the Old Testament. A little different, isn't it? You gotta dig in the in the Old Testament and and you have to be purposeful in your in your studies the Old Testament obviously some of the some of the the funner books you know Ruth and Genesis is the story after story and it's, it's very it's very entertaining but man there's a lot of depth there's a lot of truth in some of what we would call the boring books and the slow moving books and Leviticus is no different. I've really been enjoying it. Going through Leviticus with you guys and with dad and let's let's start with a word of prayer though before we get started this morning. Thank you, Father, for your word. And thank you, father for showing us Jesus Christ Lord through the laws through the commandments that you gave Moses father's as a tabernacle worship, the feasts and, and all the things, Lord that you gave is a picture of what was going to be accomplished through Jesus Christ or what you had in store for us, Lord, we're so thankful. We're so grateful for that. Lord and we asked father, she would help us to take hope and enjoy in these things, Lord and to bury them deep in our hearts, Lord, in a place where nobody no one nothing can ever go near touch, Lord, and that we can we can live in that state Lord in you. Help us to have our faith, Lord, the things that we believe bolstered and shored up and strengthened by what we read from the Old Testament Lord, in Jesus name we pray, Amen.You know, it's one of the things I'm always contemplating and thinking about when I'm reading through the Old Testament is that this is a Jewish book. This this is a Jewish book, this belongs to the Jewish people. They still keep most of these Sabbath's and feast days. They still practice them, and they have absolutely no idea what you and I know. It reminds me of the fact that when when when the word is talking about that those from the old the Prophet It's old, you know, they, they, they didn't fully understand the things that they were writing down the things that they were being told, they didn't fully understand it. And yet they were faithful to God to write it down and believed him. You know, that's one of the amazing, amazing things to me is all these things that God is given to Moses. And and of course Moses, you know, wrote it, so maybe he left it out. But you never hear Moses say, why, why, why? why I don't get it, Lord, I don't get it. He was simply obedient to what God was telling him to do, which that in and of itself is a fantastic example for you and I as believers in Jesus Christ, because God has called us to be obedient. He has called us to be obedient to his word. We don't have to always understand it. It doesn't always have to make sense to us. I don't even have to agree with that. How do you like that? You know, there's things that are in the scriptures that I really don't. I'm not the biggest fan of. I'm not a fan of hell. I'm really not a fan. I don't like talking about hell, I don't like explaining hell to people who don't know Jesus. I'm not a big fan about it.
