Title: Playing With Fire (2 of 8)
Series: You Lost Me at Leviticus
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Leviticus 8-10
- We are studying the book of Leviticus in a series called, You Lost Me At Leviticus. Maybe you're like me and you've read this book before and felt a little lost. Well, hopefully, through the work of the Holy Spirit, as we study this book our minds and hearts will become illuminated by our growth and understanding. Here, we come to Leviticus 8-10.
- The book of Leviticus has two main sections: Sacrifice (chapters 1-17) and Separation (chapters 18-27). The first part is all about our relationship with God-how we come to Him through sacrifice and the shedding of blood. The second part deals with fellowship-how those who are already in a relationship with God stay in fellowship through a holy, separated life. Tonight, we're diving into Leviticus 8-10 to talk about the priesthood, the dedication of the priests, and a powerful warning about what happens when we treat God's commands casually.1 READ Leviticus 8:1-4, 36; 9:7, 22-24; 10:1-3

In the Old Testament he does it with what we call "visual aids" - pictures He draws for us by means of the sacrifices, rituals, and ceremonies he prescribes. It takes God to understand man. And he has written a book to go along with us - an instruction book to accompany the machinery he has designed. If you buy a new television set, refrigerator, or automobile, along with it you get an instruction book compiled by the manufacturer, who understands the machine best. It tells you what to do when things go wrong. That is exactly what the Bible does. It is the greatest book on human psychology in the whole world. Our problem is that we tend to ignore it. A modern parable we so frequently need to heed is: "When all else fails, follow directions!" Another trouble we have is that we start with the last part of the book, the New Testa ...
