LEV 24

Reading from Lev 24

This chapter deals with the care of the lamps in the tabernacle (v.1-4), the bread of the tabernacle (v. 5-9) and the penalty of blasphemy.

Application

Just like the lamp burning 24/7, our lives should be a shing tstimony of Jesus Christ. The bread symbolizes Jesus the Bread of Life (John 6.35). We are in an age where we do not take blasphemy seriously.

LEV 25

Readings from Lev 25

Leviticus 25 deals with the Sabbath of the Seventh Year (v. 1-7), the Year of the Jubilee (v. 8-22), the redemption of property (v. 23-34), lending to the poor v. 35-38, and the law concerning slavery.

Application

On the seventh year the land rests. They were concerned about the land. The Year of Jubilee was after 49 years which is the fiftieth year was a time of celebration, and giving and means a time of universal redemption. The land was allowed to lie fallow, that is, at rest but there was a one-year break for the people from their labor. Those who were bound by contract were released from their contracts amd indentured servants were released. The Year of the Jubilee was symbolic of the rest and freedom that we have in Christ. We tend to forget that the and the earth is God's yet we abuse and pollute both land, sea and sky. We must show compassion to the poor, and not abuse those who are under our authority.
