Hi and welcome. Ashfield Baptist Church is a "caring community church sharing God's love". We are very diverse in our nationalities, backgrounds and ages, but united in our desire to grow spiritually and to reach out and help others. Our vision is "to be a body of Christ-like people living out the great commandment and the great commission in the Holy Spirit's power". This blog is mainly for people connected with Ashfield Baptist Church. It has been set up as an "info & chat space" as we start the "THRU IN 2" challenge. This is our program for reading the Bible right through during 2007 & 2008. Many are using the Every Day With Jesus Bible which also has daily devotions from Selwyn Hughes. As we read through the Bible together over these two years, we can use this blog to share insights, stories, reflections, questions etc. The goal is to grow spiritually together. So leave your comments. Together we can help each other grow. Blessings. Ps John.

All those detailed regulations we're reading in Leviticus are tough going aren't they, and it's difficult to see how they have much relevance for today. But every now and then there are bits that I'm finding quite interesting. Like:
* "Unintentional sins" have to be atoned for.
* Different instructions for when the "priest sins, bringing guilt on the people" (4:3), for when "the whole community of Israel errs" (4:13), for when "a leader sins" (4:22)and for when "any of the common people sins" (4:27).
* Provisions for poor people to bring different sacrifices.
* If a person witnesses something and they don't respond to a call to testify then they are guilty (5:1).
In Mark 1:40, Jesus reaches out and touches the leper. In so doing he was breaking the laws about not touching anything unclean eg Lev 5:3. This was not "unintentional" or "without being aware of it". Jesus knew Leviticus well. Interestingly, he tells the healed man: "Go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses prescribed for your cleansing." (Mk 1:44). This was what Lev 14 required. Jesus added: "as a testimony to them", presumably meaning as a witness and not just because the Law said.
