Today's Reading Leviticus 21-22; Revelation 1
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia links: <Leviticus 21; Leviticus 22; Revelation 1
Leviticus 21-22
Leviticus 21 discusses the rules of Priests, the way they dress, behave, who he marries.
Why all these regulations? Because God is a holy God and He expects His people to be holy. Rom 6.23 states that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life.
Leviticus 22 spoke about other requirements of the priests (v. 1-16) and unacceptable offerings (v. 17-33). The priests must be ceremonially clean at all times, free from bodily discharge, infectious skin diseases, and not touch a corpse. Only the priest's family can eat from the fellowship offering, the daughter of a priest can only marry the son of another priest. If a priest's daughter become divorced or widowed she can return to her father's house. The priest should not desecrate the sacred offerings. They are a chosen people hand have this strict requirement of be ceremonially clean and morally pure.
The second half of Leviticus 22 discusses unacceptable offerings. Offerings offered to God must be male, unblemished without physical defects. God does not want rejects or left-overs. These offerings must be acceptable to him.
So what? Do we christians live a live of purity being very careful to live the life. Do we give God our send best and rejects? Do we spend five minutes in quiet time with him but spend three hours going shopping or watching a football game. We go to bed all tired after having fun and give God two minutes before we go to sleep! Which is most important? Romans 12.1

Revelation 1
John was exiled on the isle of Patmos for his faith in Jesus Christ. On the Lord's day he had a vision of Jesus standing among the seven golden candlesticks, which repesent the seven churches. We need to see who Jesus really is.
