Day 61..."A Chapter to Make You Blush...Jesus' Numbers Go Through The Roof"

Leviticus has some gore and some readings that will make a person blush. The chapter on cleansing from bodily discharges is a chapter that will make your face red. Obviously, the rituals of cleansing addressed all areas of the human experience. Psalm 61 has one of my favorite passages"...when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I." Last Sunday I preached on "between a rock and hard place" and referenced this passage. A rock higher than I does help for gaining greater perspective and wisdom. Jesus draws such an enormous crowd a man was lowered through the roof. This is a great story of Jesus' healing power. We also read a story of value of imagination and determination. Look for a sermon sometime on the subject..."When Jesus' Numbers Go Through the Roof." In contrast of the Leviticus focus on cleansing, Jesus eats with sinners. The Bible is amazing!
