"These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai." Lev. 27:34
At a church where D. L. Moody was invited to preach, he was warned that some of the congregation usually left before the end of the sermon. When Mr. Moody rose to begin his sermon, he announced, "I am going to speak to two classes of people this morning: first to the sinners, and then to the saints."
He proceeded to address the "sinners" for a while, and then he said they could leave. For once, every member of the congregation stayed to the end of the sermon.
Congratulations on finishing the book of Leviticus - the book of holiness. It has been said that it took God only one night to get Israel out of Egypt, but it took forty years to get Egypt out of Israel. Leviticus was used to guide a newly redeemed people into worship, service and obedience to God. You persevered - you stayed for the whole service - and tomorrow we can enter the book of Numbers.
