Today's Reading Leviticus 17

Leviticus 17 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Leviticus 17 deals with the community not eating blood. Why? Because the blood is precious in God's eyes from the blood that was first shed by Cain when he killed Abel to the substitutionary death of Jesus on the cross. Leviticus 17.11 'For the life of the body os in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement on the altar; it is the blood that makes an atonement for one's life.'Yes, the blood is precious in God's sight, it reminds God of how precious Jesus blood was shed for us. In Acts 15.19-21, in the Jerusalem Council, the leaders including Peter and James decided on the requirements to accept the Gentiles into the church. The requirements were to abstain from food given to idols, from sexual immorality, from meat of strangled animals and from blood.
