Amid the vast, severe wilderness landscape of the Sinai region, in sun-scorched sorrow and disappointment over a recent national sin - the creation and worship of an idol of smelted jewelry - life abruptly changes. With the first line of Leviticus, \"And the Lord called,\" God interrupts time and space, regret and reason, futility and hope. He reveals the pattern of the gospel: the holiness of God, the problem of human sin, God's plan of salvation, His call to holiness through His gracious provision. He shows a way for sinful humans to live in the presence of a holy God. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeviticus for modern-day Christians\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis call doesn't just affect the ancient Israelites - Milton shows how Leviticus still speaks to Christ's followers today.
