Leviticus 9 — Be holy as the LORD is holy: God’s restart by His glory revealed

Rev. Dr. Brian Kachelmeier of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Los Alamos, NM joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Leviticus 9.

Worship without God’s Word is idolatry. Although Aaron had an issue with idolatry on Mt. Sinai, now the LORD patiently guides him as the high priest to worship by His Word. On the 8th day, a day of new creation in the Bible, Aaron makes sacrifices (burnt, grain, sin, wave, peace) for his sins and the sins of the people. When there was atonement, Aaron and Moses, went into the tent and in their return, the people saw God’s glory. In the same way, when we receive His forgiveness on account of Christ, we see God’s glory revealed. “Lord God, keep us from idolatry by worshipping with God’s Word. As we see the sacrifice of Christ, we see the glory of the LORD who dwells among us and grants us full forgiveness by His blood. To be all the glory. Amen”
