Discover

Leviticus exposes guilt; Jesus comes directly to guilty people. He does not approve of sin - He calls sinners to Himself so they can be forgiven and changed.

Reflect

Do I take sin seriously without forgetting God’s mercy?

Who might I be tempted to think is beyond Jesus’ reach?

Where is Jesus calling me to follow Him more closely?

Fellowship

Talk about the difference between religious appearance and a heart that truly follows Jesus.

Prayer

Jesus, thank You for coming for sinners. Give us humble hearts that receive Your mercy and gladly follow You. Amen.

Live

Follow Jesus with a thankful heart. Show someone else the mercy He has shown you.
