Leviticus Study - 2025-04-02

Welcome to the Lansdale Life Church Podcast.

If you're seeking a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, this podcast is for you.

Thank you for joining us today.

I just think it's funny we're talking about the bread right and the bread of

life tonight Jesus and I come downstairs before I leave and there's my

son Van who is I called Doe Ball because he's like just so stocky and thick

he's 13 months old but he's in 2T clothing where he's 25 pounds and he's

covered in flour and I was like this is so funny the Doe Ball is covered in

flour because he's whipping it around and bowed through flour in his face of

course but I just think it's so funny and you know I was like is there a

metaphor here I didn't want to make it too to spiritual so we'll just leave

it as a funny story and you know but hey I want to be covered in Jesus

right the flower so we'll stop there but thank you Jesus so let's just open it

up in prayer and we will be in Leviticus 21 so Jesus I thank you so much

Lord that you are God the bread of life and I we just we need you Lord we

need you every day God and we thank you Lord that you feed us Lord our

souls our spirit in ways that no one else can God you have the words of

life Lord you are the word incarnate God and you feed us Lord every single day

when we're in your presence Lord you set us apart we are set apart because of

you God to be used by you to glorify you God and I pray that tonight in my

craziness of notes Lord that you would make it make sense Lord and that you

would just bring your power into tonight Lord we lift you up Lord you

are King Lord you're seated on the throne and we worship you in Jesus

name and man so the whole chapter hangs on this verse 8 so we'll read up to verse 8

and pause there so 21 Leviticus verse 1 and the Lord said to Moses speak to the

priests the sons of Aaron and say to them none shall defile himself for the

dead among his people except for his relatives who are nearest to him

his mother his father his son his daughter his brother also his virgin

sister who is near him who has no husband for her he may defile himself and this

is ceremonial defilement there's no moral reason that you can't be near a

dead body but this is for the priests ceremonially otherwise he shall not

defile himself being a chief man among his people to profane himself they

shall not make any bald place on their heads nor shall they shave the edges of

their beards nor make any cuttings in their flesh they shall be holy to their

God and not profane the name of their Lord for they offer the offerings of the

Lord made by fire and the bread of their God therefore they shall be holy

they shall not take a wife who is a harlot or a defiled woman nor they

take a woman divorced from her husband for the priest is holy to his God

therefore you shall consecrate him and this is the verse here therefore you

shall consecrate him for he offers the bread of your God he shall be holy to

you for I the Lord who sanctify you and holy so if you guys remember in what was

that chapter 18 the sexual morality one that was a lot of fun that we went

through that but remember he says to the Israelites six times I am the Lord

your God right I am the Lord your God six times and we theorize that possibly we

don't know why but the reason he may have said it six times is because on the

sixth day he made mankind and he's saying that I formed you I made you your

identity rests in me and the people of Israel are holy right the people of

God are holy and holy means purity yes 100% purity but it also means set

apart it's different right it's it's set apart to be used by God to honor him

and to live a certain way for him so yes it is purity but no one's perfect it's

impossible but it speaks of availability right it is like the the people of

Israel were set apart different from the world to be in relationship with God

and to be available to him to use them for his glory and for the priests he

goes a step further and beyond just the identity of he is their God he says in

verse 8 that they are holy because he offers the bread of your God and it is

I who sanctify you and I am holy so there is something tied some level of

holiness that is given to them because they cons they're consecrated and

offered the bread of their God so what's different they're they're not they're not

extra special they're still just people right they're just like the normal

Israelite but they've been given something really powerful and that is

they get to go into the presence of God right like the people walked in the

desert they saw the glory of God the presence of God but these priests

actually minister to him are in his presence in the temple and even on

the the day of atonement the high priest goes directly into the shekinah glory in

in the cloud and it's in his presence so this is why they are set apart extra

holy there their holiness is tied to his presence the proximity they have to his

presence and that means there's a higher responsibility and a higher calling

they are called to live holy right but never forget that it is God himself who

makes them holy and we see in John we can I'll turn there real quick John 6 or no

Luke this is really interesting this passage always kind of stuck out to me in

Luke 9 verse 57 now it happened as they journeyed on the road that someone said

to him to Jesus Lord I will follow you wherever you go and Jesus said to him

foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests but the Son of man has no

where to lay his head then he said to another follow me but he said Lord let

me first go and bury my father Jesus said to him let the dead bury their own

dead but you go and preach the kingdom of God so Jesus had a purpose here of one

saying I come first even before earthly responsibilities like he's not saying we

can't bury our father like it's not like verbatim to us but he was conveying a

message that I come first but I also think the Jewish people knowing the

law that the priests were not allowed to bury the dead would their ears would

turn on be like wait a second he can't bury the dead that's only for the priests

right only the priests are required to not touch the dead or bury the dead at a

funeral but Jesus is telling just a common person it don't bury the dead

follow me and preach the kingdom of God and what that tells me is maybe

Jesus was also speaking another message that will be confirmed later in the

New Testament that all people are called to be priests right that his

presence that is with the priests and the Old Testament the temple would now be

made available to every single human and it wouldn't be in a temple that they'd

experience God anymore but inside that's why it says that they are that we are

the temples of the Holy Spirit he would fill us so this is not a mandate you

can never bury anyone obviously right but it's a it's a second message I

believe he was saying I call all people to follow me all people to

preach the kingdom of God and all people are called holy because they're in my

presence just like the priest so the other day I was on the phone with a

friend of mine and you know he's going through some rough times he's actually

coming out of it but like crazy financial stuff he was taken advantage of by

this massive scammer who scammed like literally there's 50 felonies against

him and even impersonated a CIA officer like all the stuff so he's probably going

bankrupt anyway he said you know like I only really pray to God when I need

something that's how I was raised like you know technically I guess you could

say we're Christians but we never live that way or really think that way but

when we need something we'll pray you know and but I feel like I've been

praying to God a little bit more in the season like obviously you really need

something right and you know I just like that's common right number one that is

common for the world to do that right but also the Bible speaks of holy and

unholy things is really set apart in common right commons like everyday stuff

that doesn't have depth or significant value holy is set apart to be used by

God that way of living of just coming to God when you need something but not

really caring about him that's common and I encouraged him like hey like he is

real and it's good that you're at least calling on him but there's more right

that's common this is holy he's calling to holiness and I shared that my

relationship and it was a moment that honestly like when you're doing

evangelism I'm no expert at all but I feel like you can kind of go down to

track sometimes one is like all logical like defending the gospel and it's

like you can have a reason anybody into salvation right the other side's all

feelings and it's like someone poses a question and you're just like what I

don't know how to answer that but I feel good with God it's like we need to be

like Christians like we're in the middle we should be for a purpose we

have theology we have ways of defending the gospel but we also need to

share the testimony of what God's done in our lives right and I feel like a

huge part of that is honestly speaking of your love for God like that that hits

somebody different it's kind of weird when you're like man I just love Jesus

and like you know I just want to be with him all the time people are like hey but

I thought he wasn't real that's like you know I don't have to make it make sense

to you but you can tell my heart is like honest right now and how I'm

speaking about it so in this moment I said something I just felt it come

from my heart that I said like look I used to just call on God when I needed

things and stuff but I realized now as I walked with him and I've grown closer to

him how much I just need to be with him all the time right and he is the defining

thing about who I am like I wouldn't be myself without Jesus like and you know if

you boil my life down the one thing that has never changed is him right

like he is the foundation of who we are when you trust in Jesus that's

why he says when when those who hear his words and do them is like a master

builder who builds on the rock he becomes your foundation right and for the

priest back then the foundation of who they are was being in his presence was

offering the bread it was being in worship in the temple with him and

because of that they're holy and they're called to a higher level of

holiness so this don't bury the dead thing I shared you know how Jesus said like

don't bear the dead and that's kind of a picture how we're all priests but many

pagan religions back then were obsessed with death like they were death cults

they would kill people it for worship they would have funerals to cut

themselves shave themselves all the things that they just talked about and

they worship the dead and the people who passed away before but God's

saying I want you to have nothing to do with this like stay as far away priests

from death as you possibly can because God is life and sin is death right Romans

512 therefore just a sin came into the world through one man and death through

sin so death spread to all men because all have sinned sin has always been a

pick or death has always been a picture of the end result of sin if

you sin there's death that's what he said to Adam and Eve and then in John

10 the God being life he says the thief does not come except to kill steal and

destroy but I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly so even

back then in the Old Testament God wants everyone to know who he truly is he's

the God of life not the God of death he's saying run away from all the

perverse ways of worshiping these fake Gods because you're worshiping me the

one true God who is holy and separate and I'm the God of life I give you

life he doesn't want his representatives in any way to be associated with this

death so honestly like why why does that matter well when Jesus called us

priests right there's a death that we need to stay away from like not physical

death we're allowed to go to funerals but in 1st Peter 2 it says you are a

chosen generation of royal priesthood a holy nation he has called you his

own special people that you may proclaim the praises of him who called

you out of darkness into his marvelous light right we're chosen we're anointed

like the priests so what is the death now well in Hebrews 9 it says how much

more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit offered

himself without spot to God cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve

the living God so the death that we should run away from as Christians is

sin the dead works right the old self the Bible says when you come to Jesus

your old self is crucified dead you're raised to life with Christ so yeah we

can go to funerals but don't ever associate and go back to your old dead

way of living because you serve a living God right and then he also says in

Hebrews 12 I urge you brothers and sisters in view of God's mercy to

offer your bodies as a living sacrifice not a dead one a living one holy and

pleasing to God this is your true and proper worship do not be conformed to the

pattern of this world which is death but be transformed by the renewing of your

mind he calls us to be a living sacrifice and honestly like this is

something that I feel I'm kind of experiencing more lately is just you

know walking in holiness and I'm like I don't mean like perfection I don't mean

that I mean just being set apart for him right like so many people have painted

holiness as religion right it's like oh religion oh you're a holy roller like

you're doing works to be like pleasing to God and in reality pursuing

holiness is a really Godly thing and what religion is is tolerating your sin

right like that's what the Pharisees did they tolerated their sin and went through

the motions just to look good so pursuing true holiness in your life is

actually like it says here is pleasing to God it's your acceptable like gift to

God is hey I want to give my life to you to be set apart and to be holy and I

just feel like over the last year or so maybe maybe even shorter I've just been

having a renewed desire just to like anywhere the Holy Spirit points out I'm

gonna I want to get it out of my life I just want to like in my actions worship

him and in the way I think worship him that's why Jesus says love the Lord your

God with all of your heart all of your soul all of your mind and all of your

strength and honestly like that's really been a game changer for me like

even just simple things like God I'm going to give you my time like God I'm

gonna give you my praise I'm just gonna tell you how much I love you right now

and I feel his presence right and we're marked by his presence where we are

different from the world not because we're good in ourselves but because we

have his presence inside of us so this bread thing there is so much in the

bread that I'm really excited to go through everybody with me still sometimes

when I'm talking too much I hope everybody yeah thanks thanks all right so the

bread let's read Leviticus 24 5 9 which I actually think I'm gonna have in a

couple weeks 24 verses 5 through 9 and you shall take fine flour and bake 12

cakes with it two tenths of an ifa shall be in each cake you shall set them into

rows six in a row on the pure gold table before the Lord and you shall put pure

frankincense on each row that it may be on the on the bread for a memorial and

offering made by fire to the Lord every Sabbath he shall set it in order

before the Lord continually being taken from the children of Israel by an

everlasting covenant and it shall be for Aaron and his sons that they shall

eat it in a holy place for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the

Lord made by fire so this bread Jesus says he's the bread of life in John 6 and

he gives the manna as an example but also so many theologians and people all

point to this bread which is called the bread of the presence is also a

picture of Jesus and also in Romans I think it is or you know Hebrews it says

that all these things this temple all these articles all the stuff is just a

picture of heavenly things so there's deep significance to what these things

mean so while I'm reading it the bread obviously Jesus is the bread of life my

mind goes there immediately but then I see some crazy things in there that

you could just like can unpack forever I feel like so on it is frankincense I'm

like okay frankincense the bread is covered in frankincense the bread is put

on gold okay gold and frankincense like wait where's the murder then like what

so the gold table is anointed with the anointing oil so I go and find out

what's in the anointing oil the major component beyond olive oil in the

anointing oil is myrrh that is a major major component of it so here the bread

of the presence of God that sits in his presence is on gold covered in

frankincense on a table covered in myrrh Jesus when he was born the wise men

prophetically brought these gifts to him maybe they knew why maybe it was

just the Holy Spirit and they had no idea why but Jesus being the bread

of life is given the gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh which was active

in this ritual here in the ceremony but it doesn't stop there because he's

born in Bethlehem Bethlehem the meaning of the word is the house of bread he's

born into a feeding trough which gives food to animals to eat like he is the

bread of life and every single aspect of his birth is portraying the truth that he

came into the world to feed us for everlasting life right and it even goes

further because the day before the Sabbath Friday is the day of preparation

the bread is prepared well on Friday Jesus we're coming up on Good Friday

was preparing himself for the ultimate sacrifice that his body would be broken

like the bread would be broken he says he was preparing to be crucified and on

Friday he was crucified the Sabbath the bread is presented to God and Jesus is

and it's presents and rests in the temple Jesus his body rests in the

grave and he gave his life to God right and while his body rests he

also declares his victory over sin death principalities powers and the spirits

and Hades his body is resting and there's his soul declaring victory right and the

priests on the Sabbath take of the bread and eat it the day of rest in a holy

place in rest they're eating of the bread of the presence and we eat the

bread of life right in rest it says we enter his rest because of the labor of

Jesus of giving his life for us now we have rest now and we have peace with

God and then on Sunday he rises again and now we can partake not of the bread of

death but the bread of life because he's living and it says we proclaim his death

until he comes we're proclaiming his death yes but it's until he comes

because he's alive he's the bread of life he gives life and he's died and

is living again and Jesus says like I said in John 6 I am the bread of

life he who comes to me shall never hunger and he who believes in me shall

never thirst and in that chapter he also says which is interesting says do not

labor for the food that perishes but for the food that endures to eternal life

which the Son of Man will give to you so I was thinking about this the natural

food that perishes that we labor for and then the spiritual food which the

Holy with which it says the Son of Man gives you physical bread we labor for

spiritual bread we receive the very first reference to bread ever in the

Bible is in Genesis 3 19 it says in the sweat of your face this is God

telling Jesus telling Adam like what happens now because you sinned in the

sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground for out of

it you were taken for dust you are and to dust you shall return so the first one

occurs sweat right to just get enough to live now Jesus right who is the bread

of life he comes in the day before he's going to give his life for us he's

in the garden of Eden he's sweating drops of blood to the dust knowing that he would

have his body broken and to become a curse for us in Galatians 3 13 it says he

become it became a curse for us because curses everyone who hangs on the

tree the first mention of bread was a curse of labor and Jesus is saying

don't labor anymore for food that perishes but receive what I have for

you which is eternal life the second reference to food to bread is a blessing

so the first is a curse the second one is a blessing Melchizedek Genesis 14 then

Melchizedek King of Salem brought out bread and wine he was the priest of God

most high and he blessed him and said Abraham who is the father of faith

right he just had a great victory that came by the hand of God blessed be

Abram of God most high possessor of heaven and earth and blessed be God most

high who has delivered your enemies into your hand and he gave him a tithe of

all so here the second mention is a blessing from a high priest who we

barely know anything about who Jesus has mentioned to resemble in the New

Testament that he Jesus is a high priest in the order Melchizedek he's the most

mysterious person in the Bible you should read about him and here's the

father of faith now coming into relationship and communion with this

high priest and receiving bread and wine and receiving a blessing and I can't

help but think the first covenant right the curse of sin and death and

the law you have to labor to have acceptance by God now through faith like

Abraham the father of faith we can come into communion with Jesus and the first

time bread and wine is offered is in this blessing from a high priest Jesus is

our high priest right he has given us his body and his blood so that we

through faith are completely forgiven Ephesians 2 8 through 9 for it is by

grace you have been saved through faith and this is not from yourselves it is the

gift of God not by work so that no one should brose boast so here is the first

one a curse striving the second one a blessing through faith eternal life

and that's what Jesus said in John 6 don't labor for food that perishes but

for the food that endures to eternal life which the Son of man will give

you just like Melchizedek gave Abraham and today this is why communion is so

important like it's not just like a snack right and it's like you can't eat a

hoagie and soda and be like yeah this is communion like there's something

significant about it right and we we hear a lot of times like it is an

outward expression of an inward truth like baptism and it's just a way to

remember and I do agree with that totally like it is a way to remember and it is an

outward display of an inward truth all those things but it's something also

super super spiritual about it like anyone relate like when you're taking

communion and you're actually in the right headspace to think about what

this means don't you just experience him in like a special way and Paul talks

about people were getting drunk and eating too much of communion at the

church and they're getting sick and dying so like if this has so much

significance that you can get sick and die how much more significance if you

take it in the right way right there's something deeply spiritual and just

like the the priests were marked and set apart by his presence and had the bread

as a picture of that so we are marked and set apart by the presence inside of us

and we have this gift of communion that we can take whenever right I'm just

Luke 22 17 it says after taking the cup he gave banks and said take this and

divided among you for I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the

vine until the kingdom of God comes and he took bread gave banks and broke it

and gave it to them saying this is my body given for you do this in

remembrance of me in the same way after the supper he took the cup

saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you thank

you Jesus that you did that thank you Lord that through faith through faith in

you Lord the bread of life that was broken for us God and your blood poured

out we can actually be made holy God and then we can actually be filled with

your Holy Spirit and thank you Jesus that Lord even when we feel weak and we

feel like we failed you God we can look at the holes in your hands and the side

and feet God that you still hold in heaven Lord your body still shows the

scar of saying look I forgiven you and I just thank you so much Lord that we

can commune with you got that we can just talk to you and be close to you

Lord and that you set us apart to be used by you we love you Jesus so there's a

couple of other topics on this I'll do the wife thing and then we can go to the

verse 9 which is pretty crazy so it talks about how the wife should be you

know holy essentially like not prostitute not this and that now this is pretty

amazing too because like Jesus is the true high priest right he's called us

priests but he's the high priest and we only were made priests because of him and

he's perfect and holy and just like the priest has meant to marry a holy

woman right that's undefiled Jesus wants to marry a holy church that is

undefiled and Adam before sin God opened up his side and removed the rib and made

us someone who is suitable for him a spouse Eve and Jesus on the cross is

pierced in his side and went into the deep sleep of the grave just like Adam

did and out of his side and out of his death comes a holy bride a holy spouse

the church and we might be messed up right but it's like we read above it is

God who makes us holy and so he's coming back for a holy church not like we're

gonna be perfect in and of ourselves right but he sets us apart and he's made

us holy because of his death for us and his resurrection okay let's talk about

verse 9 21 verse 9 the daughter of any priest if she profanes herself by playing

the harlot she profanes her father she shall be burned with fire now this is

crazy we don't read anywhere that this ever happened now there's three reasons

why that might have might be the case maybe no priest's daughter ever became

a harlot I pray that was the case Lord the second could be it was just never

written about and it happened I hope that wasn't the case but God could still

do that the third could be that maybe it happened but God showed mercy and when

I read the Bible I see tons and tons of stories constantly about people not

getting what they deserve right constantly like David right doing awful

things like adultery and murder like he should have been killed by the law if

you kill someone you are killed that's what the Bible says he wasn't and God

still called him a man after his own heart right so I believe that even if it

did happen I I'm sure maybe not all the time but many times God shows mercy

because he's quick he is slow to anger abounding love right he shows

mercy and faithfulness to generations and generations but there's one scenario

where burning with fire for this adultery actually was threatened and this shoot I

didn't write down the reference but I remember the story so Judah and Tamar

you remember this Judah a tribe of God one of the tribes of Jacob where yeah

Israel so one of the tribes of Israel he has a daughter-in-law and his son is

evil God kills him so the next son comes up is supposed to give her children

he's evil does something evil on on you can read about it I don't feel like

talking about it he gets killed so now Judas like okay you can have my third

son when he gets old enough he's too young right now then he gets old enough

he doesn't give him her that him as wife and back then like if you don't

have kids and you're a woman and you're you know a widow or divorce

whatever like you didn't have like any power in society you weren't taking care

of so it was like a necessity that they were taken care of so she does this

crazy thing pretends to be a prostitute Judah sleeps with her not knowing it's

his daughter-in-law and then gives her like his signet ring and staff and

stuff and she then goes home and they don't see each other for three months

and then he finds out she's pregnant and he says come out here let me burn

her she should be burned a fire she committed adultery and then she pulls

out his staff his signet ring and said you judge who these belong to and he

realizes it's his and he's like you've been more righteous than I have like he

was aware of his sin and he didn't kill her there was no fire tomorrow I believe

had Perez but if you read the genealogy of Jesus and Matthew 1 tomorrow is

mentioned in the genealogy Jesus came from her a woman who committed an

adultery and should have been burned with fire and wasn't so what does that tell

me like God is at work in sinners lives to protect them even from what they

deserve from him right he shows grace he shows mercy Jesus New Testament story

he a woman's commit caught an adultery and what does he say much like the

Tamar story he says he who is without sin cast the first stone neither do I

condemn you go and sin no more everyone was aware of their own sin just like

Judah was and realized we're all sinners like she doesn't even deserve this and

Jesus forgives Jesus is the same God of the Old Testament and the new right he

was in both so what I see is God is merciful he forgives a repentant

heart and we have no idea what happened here but we know he's loving and he

probably most likely forgave many of these women amen now let's the high

priest basically says the same thing but instead of being able to go to their

dad's funeral they can't even go to their dad's funeral so we can hop over

that verse 16 speak to Aaron saying no man of your descendants and

succeeding generations who has any defect may approach to offer the bread

of his God for any man who has a defect shall not approach a man blind or lame

who has a marred face or any limb too long a man who has a broken foot or

broken hand or a hunchback or a dwarf or a man who has a defect in his eye or

eczema or a scab or as a eunuch no man of the descendants of Aaron I feel

bad for the scab guy like how long does that scab lasting and is he

disqualified for life we don't know no man of the descendants of Aaron the

priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings made by fire to

the Lord he has a defect he shall not come near to offer the bread but here's

the good news he may eat the bread of his God both the most holy and the

holy only he shall not go near the veil or approach the altar because he

has a defect lest he profane my sanctuaries for I the Lord sanctify

them and Moses told it to Aaron and his sons and to all the children of Israel

so to be in the presence of God you have to be holy

and to go into the most holy a place was only for the high priest right

but we know like it says I can read it but I'll just summarize it that

these are all shadow of heavenly things right these were taking physical

stuff there's nothing morally wrong with having a scab but there's a symbolic

picture that if there's something wrong with you you can't be in the presence

of a holy God but we have Jesus right the forerunner who passed through the

heavens into the true holy of holies after he died and the veil which was

in the temple tore in half and we know if the temple is a picture of the

heavenlies and the heavenlies change the temple has to change to reflect the

heavenlies so the separation between God and man and the necessity to be

perfect is now broken because Jesus was broken for us so now the veil had to

tear and it says that we can go into the holy of holies and in addition

to that this holy holy God comes out and fills us right

we're not we're not imperfect anymore right it says we've been crucified with

Christ right is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me it's faith to say

that because we know sometimes we're not perfect like we're not we don't feel

like Jesus right but it takes faith and it takes obedience and walking in a

spirit right if you walk in the spirit you will not gratify the lust of the

flesh but these people in the Old Testament couldn't go because they

were imperfect and I love Hebrews 4 because it speaks to it while we're

still we're actually perfect in God's eyes but on this side of eternity we

can still struggle with things that's why Jesus is the best Hebrews 4 seeing

then that we have a high priest a great high priest who has passed through the

heavens Jesus the Son of God let us hold fast our confession for we do

not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness but was in all

points tempted as we are yet without sin let us therefore come boldly to the throne

of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need so here

he's saying just like in it for the Levites the priest who had defects you

might not be able to go in the holy of holies one day you will with Jesus

but even back then he's that he was saying you can eat the most holy bread the

bread of the presence and even us in our weaknesses we have a high priest the

bread of life who can sympathize with us that while we're struggling we can still

go into the throne of grace and find help and partake of the holy of

holy bread Jesus himself amen so I don't really have a closing for this

us Lord that you became one of us God yet without sin yet still 100% you and I

that you fill us that's why we're different we're not common we're holy

God and in that Lord we can walk in holiness you call us to walk in

holiness and that's actually a beautiful act of worship Lord is the

greatest thing we can do for you is to be a living sacrifice and it makes you

happy it makes you joyful Lord and even when we sin and we fall and we're

tempted and we give in Lord you still see us like you see your son you

still see us wrapped in the righteousness of Jesus and that we can boldly

still come to you to the throne of grace which speaks of power the power of the

Holy Spirit to be able to do what you've called us to do Lord and I thank you
