“Do I really have to read Leviticus?” I remember a friend asking me this after youth group one day. “The Old Testament seems so boring and difficult.”

Lots of Christians feel like this. But the Old Testament, including Leviticus, is really important. Its books share the law God gave His people, tell us lots about who God is and prepare us to read the story of Jesus.

Every book of the Bible teaches us more about God (ISA. 55:11). The whole text is alive and powerful (HEB. 4:12), and the Holy Spirit will use the things we’ve read, even from Leviticus, to help us live for God.

There are plenty of things in there worth thinking about—but we don’t have to understand it all straightaway. We just need to make space to read it and ask God to make sense of it all to us, bit by bit.
