He really does love us!!!!

 ²⁰ “When Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place and the Tabernacle and the altar, he must present the live goat. ²¹ He will lay both of his hands on the goat’s head and confess over it all the wickedness, rebellion, and sins of the people of Israel. In this way, he will transfer the people’s sins to the head of the goat. Then a man specially chosen for the task will drive the goat into the wilderness. ²² As the goat goes into the wilderness, it will carry all the people’s sins upon itself into a desolate land.
 ²³ “When Aaron goes back into the Tabernacle, he must take off the linen garments he was wearing when he entered the Most Holy Place, and he must leave the garments there. ²⁴ Then he must bathe himself with water in a sacred place, put on his regular garments, and go out to sacrifice a burnt offering for himself and a burnt offering for the people. Through this process, he will purify himself and the people, making them right with the LORD. ²⁵ He must then burn all the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
 ²⁶ “The man chosen to drive the scapegoat into the wilderness of Azazel must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water. Then he may return to the camp.
 ²⁷ “The bull and the goat presented as sin offerings, whose blood Aaron takes into the Most Holy Place for the purification ceremony, will be carried outside the camp. The animals’ hides, internal organs, and dung are all to be burned. ²⁸ The man who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water before returning to the camp. Leviticus 16:20-28

God was dwelling in the Tabernacle…right there among his people. He loves his people, He loves us so much he always provided atonement for our sin.

 We have been reading the last few days what sound like a lot of rules and regulations but God was helping His people stay healthy and clean because He cared for them!

I could not comment much the last couple of days because I was reading Leviticus again as laws and rules and today I looked at it as loving instruction from our Father in Heaven to take care of His people.

How do you view it?

I started reading the Bible in chronological order this year with a group of servants. How many of you are still with me on this?

Be blessed!
