Discovering the Gospel in Leviticus – Tim Keller

In the third episode of the Gospel in Life series "Discovering the Gospel in Every Book of the Bible", Tim Keller looks at the book of Leviticus.

Each episode from this series will highlight themes that point to the Gospel and help you discover the overarching narrative of God’s Word in every book — Christ coming into the world to save us from our sins and reconcile us to God the Father.

Just two days ago I had a dream. Mind you I have never read the Bible and I have not gone to church regularly in my entire life. In my dream I was running and came to a pavilion with a bunch of people and looked up to the sky and it said look to Leviticus. I looked it up when I I got up for the day and the chills I got. Just wanted to share why I’m here.

No notes on the table, no prompter in the front, just Jesus and His Gospel in the heart and the mind of this dear Bible teacher! so, so sorry we "lost" such a guide through the Gospel....

[TheMarkuskus]

God bless you Tim. I can’t understate how much you have helped me understand Jesus and the Gospel ✝️

[TheJohnCalvinPodcast]

Ahhh I miss Tim. Brilliant and so insightful in his own inimitable style. Grateful for him

7 kinds of sacrifice, 7 hours on the cross, 7 seals to be loosened. It is finished. He did it all.

I’ve prayed and prayed for a church that has small bible groups and a church that will have unity between brothers and sisters who love Jesus Christ. And their eager to teach me about the greatest gift God gave us which is and who is a person Jesus Christ the Messiah, God himself the father Son and a Holy Spirit in one, our Redeemer, and love, and who takes our shame and guilt away and is the most precious person my Lord. he is the best Gift and having this relationship with that we could ever ask or imagine having. I’m still learning the Bible and used to have terrifying anxiety and panic attacks, that I was so fearful of God our Lord bc I didn’t know him. Yes as a child I believed in him. But growing up I had family that went to church, but my family were the outcast you could say, bc my father dad didn’t like the church. It was very legalistic. Now looking back. And I hold no one in judging, I was a small child. My aunt Mary my moms sister was a Sunday school teacher. If I didn’t have a dress I couldn’t go to church. I’d cry my grandma couldn’t even wear pants. But I had a very messed up way of seeing Jesus and then religion. It was so scary and confusing bc I seen him as a score keeper, or disciplining me like my dad, would. and I was very naïve, and married a catholic. But had a beautiful marriage that started out w/ just him and I only being with one another then married. And divorced. After 21yrs and three children. I went through so much. But searched God for over 31 yrs after my second child I ended up w/postpartum depression. And had, a panic attack at the hospital . So when I was home one day, while, checking to see if she was breathing . The doctors said to watch me if it got worse. I kept thinking about our friends that had just lost their baby to Sid’s. Everything was planned the baby’s nursery was ready but I was so sick, and was watching tv and seen this show where This a man that had a NDE and went yo hell. I was only 22yrs old. I had severe anxiety attack and all I could think about was My whole childhood trauma came flooding back. And I knew that I hadn’t had a relationship w/ Jesus. I was so scared, and felt very sick I felt so dark and like darkness was all around me. And couldn’t understand why my beautiful baby and her room meant nothing but this horrifying moment of thinking I was going to hell. And cried snd cried but was so desperately seeking God. For 6 months my ex didn’t take me back to my gynecologist to get help for 6 months. But i analyzed everything. I was so afraid of the Bible. Bc of of things that were told to me as a child. I didn’t even understand Who, what or how I could be loved by someone like Jesus. All I felt was condemnation . My aunt would talk to me but I was so very sick but in 2017 I had been w/my boyfriend of 13 yrs. And had a new phone and found this podcast about Jesus it was the family from duck dynasty, with Phil Robertson. But I didn’t know who they were. they were talking about his love.and how people aren’t marrying anymore. I knew and had told him that we needed to be married. I felt so convicted, and found out that this podcast was called the unashamed podcast. When he came home I told my bf that if he didn’t marry me I was gone. And I didn’t care what happened. I told him until your married to me your not touching me or coming near me. And That I loved God more. he agreed and didn’t believe they’d email us. And after3 wks they said they’d marry us and baptize us both. The Robertson family baptized us and then had us for dinner and married us in their home. I’d never heard of Grace, and didn’t even know what that meant. But they said my past present and future sins are redeemed. But back to being alone and not having ppl to do bible study. I’m so thankful I found Jesus and Tim kellers page. I’ve learned so much from him. I know that he’s w/Jesus and I thank God for finding this wisdom in knowledge. I have his books and love how he explains so well. And that his truth lives in me. I’m so thankful for Our Lord Jesus Christ he is So Good. Please pray that il find a church where I can meet and have unity w/ Christ followers. 🙌🏻✨🕊️♥️✝️♾️

Jesus paid it all.

Salvation is by grace alone. There are about 613 laws in the Torah and it would be incredibly difficult to keep up with them all. It shows the weakness of the flesh but through Jesus and the Holy Spirit in us, we are able to live a consecrated life.

I'm so thankful for this series. I actually have an appreciation for the book of Leviticus that I doubt I'd have been able to come to on my own. Praise God for Bible teachers like you.

[davidcloyd]

Awesome! I’ve got my “it’s not a religion, it’s a relationship” T-shirt on.

[karenkuo]

Praise the Lord being our sacrifice, priest and the Temple! We are so very blessed!
Thank you for the message.

[mitsuya]

Thank you, Tim Keller! Learning from you brings more peace into my life, but the fact, that we are all equal before Him and our sins can only be forgotten by His grace brings ultimate joy.

I was one of those who didn’t get pass Leviticus last year, but found such needs to understand the New Testament better by knowing the Old Testament later on. Thank you so much for this series you are providing us, as I am so encouraged to study each book with pastor Keller this year❤Praise be to God!

Decades ago, I was taught that the 66 books we call the Bible - the "Canon" - each expresses the Gospel message in some way. I listened to a message by Dr. W. Herbert Brewster in which he identified the Gospel message in every book. I wish I had recorded it.

Yet, there's a time for everything. I just finished Numbers in this my third or fourth attempt to read from Genesis through Revelation. I only managed to get through Judges my last try.

However, this go-round, it struck me in Leviticus that I should track the Gospel in each book - identify a key passage that expresses the Good News of God's invitation and provision for us to become members of His eternal family. I got Genesis 3:15 - years of exposure - but Exodus and Leviticus (in particular) have escaped me so far.

So, I've been blessed to be led to this series. Thank you - and may God bless....

The book itself was not called Leviticus in ancient Israel it was know as ‘ And He Called ‘, Leviticus simply refers to the work of the Levite’s who of course are the key players in the book. The phrase, and he called, called me to really study this book and apply it to Jesus, and personal sanctification.
