How cool would it be to be on the mountain with Jesus when he gets a visit from some Old Testament Heavyweights!? I'm sure the disciples were utterly amazed watching Moses and Elijah chit-chatting with Jesus. In Acts, the Jews are plotting Paul's murder but his nephew happens to overhear their nasty plan and springs into action. I love how God puts people in just the right spot to make sure his plan moves forward! And we end today by beginning the book of Leviticus! I will admit, I don't currently have many reference points in Leviticus...
How cool would it be to be on the mountain with Jesus when he gets a visit from some Old Testament Heavyweights!? I'm sure the disciples were utterly amazed watching Moses and Elijah chit-chatting with Jesus. In Acts, the Jews are plotting Paul's murder but his nephew happens to overhear their nasty plan and springs into action. I love how God puts people in just the right spot to make sure his plan moves forward! And we end today by beginning the book of Leviticus! I will admit, I don't currently have many reference points in Leviticus but I am ready for that to change! God is taking the time to teach the Israelites how to be Holy in a culture that was anything but that. Kind of sounds like where we are at today! Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God - you will be changed from the inside out!

The Message Devotional Bible (Hardcover): Featuring Notes and Reflections
from Eugene H. Peterson
Find Your Way in Scripture.
Scripture is another world. One we find our way into. And one that finds its way into us. Steeped in Scripture, Eugene Peterson’s faith-filled reflections open the door.
The Message Devotional Bible invites you on a journey―call it practicing resurrection, call it eating this book, or call it simply a long obedience in the same direction. From the pastor who translated the entire Bible, The Message Devotional Bible sets you on the right path―devoted not just to the Bible but to God, who, in Jesus, became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood.
Open the door between Scripture and your world.
