The Old Testament priests acted as a mediator between us and God. However, Jesus changed that. Because of Jesus, we can have our own relationship with God without a mediator! Unfortunately, there are still people today who we are called to help take that step of faith instead of us being the mediator between them and God.

Jesus needed people that were holy, or set apart, in order to spend time with His people back in the Old Testament. Thankfully, Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for all of us so that this mediation is not needed today!

This entire beginning chunk of the book of Leviticus has been talking about different sacrifices and offering the Israelites had to make in order to become temporarily right with the Lord. Thankfully, God knew this was not a permanent fix and send His one and only son, Jesus, to die on the cross and pay the price of our sins for all eternity!

Thank you God that we don't have to worry about making ritualistic sacrifices in order to be made right with you. Thank you for sending your son Jesus to die on the cross and make a sacrifice for us to always be made right with you!

Back in Biblical times, the Israelites had to give sacrifices in order to become temporarily right with the Lord. Because of Jesus, all we have to do is make a choice.

When reading the Bible it is important to remember that Jesus is King and context is everything. When things like sacrifices are written for the Israelites, they don't mean the literal same thing today.

The wages of sin have always been death, but where the Israelites had to pay with sacrifices, God sent His son Jesus to pay for our sins with His life!

The Israelites have the same problem that we have today. Sin separates us from God, and we have to find a way to cleanse ourself in order to spend time with Him. The Israelites had to perform ritualistic sacrifices in order to be temporarily cleansed, but because of Jesus, our sins have been forgiven forever and ever.

Taking place immediately after the Tabernacle was built, God gives Moses more instructions for the Israelites, and they still influence the way we should live today!

Ending the second book of the Bible, the Tabernacle is completed and the Lord occupies it. Spoiler alert: when Jesus dies in the New Testament, the veil in the tabernacle is torn, symbolizing that God no longer needs to Tabernacle to be with us.
