1 Chronicles 26:1-27:34; Ezekiel 23:1-49; John 8:31-59
That ye eat neither fat nor blood. Leviticus 3:17
This law was laid down for Israel nearly 2,000 years before Christ came to earth and was to be a perpetual rule for the people of Israel. The law’s precepts illustrated spiritual principles but also proved to be of benefit physically for the nation. Today with advancements in medical science we see how effective they were in the prevention of diseases. How could Moses, the lawgiver, have known about such benefits? The truth is that he didn’t, but God knew. The divine hand that created the human body also indicated the best way for the body to be kept healthy. The Bible is
truly God’s Word and therefore can be trusted. —Paul Young
Through life it guides our way, in death it is our stay.
Lord, grant while worlds endure, we keep Thy teachings pure. —N. Gruntvig
