Leviticus 12 and 15 emphasize ceremonial purification related to everyday bodily functions. These chapters show that impurity isn’t always sinful—it’s often part of normal life. For instance, childbirth requires purification rituals, and bodily discharges make someone ceremonially unclean. Our teacher, John Mathews, explains that these rules helped ensure the holiness of the tabernacle, where God dwelled among His people. While these ceremonial laws are not needed today, they remind us of the larger point: separation from impurity and striving to live holy lives. Jesus broke the barriers that separated us from God, offering full and permanent forgiveness. However, these chapters challenge us to recognize the importance of maintaining purity—not just outwardly but in our hearts, as sin still distorts every part of humanity. God asks us to be set apart for Him, even in how we handle everyday aspects of life.
