Day 183 - Leviticus 27
• 1 min. read • grade level: 6
This chapter tells us of persons who made vows (promises) to God. Every one had a different value. This makes us think of the Lord Jesus and the value which was placed on Him. (Read Zech. 11:12-1312And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 13And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord. (Zechariah 11:12‑13); Matt. 27:9-109Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me. (Matthew 27:9‑10)).
The Lord Jesus is the One Who came to earth and has redeemed us (paid for us) with His blood. We believers are His now (1 Cor. 6:19-20; Rom. 14:7-97For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. (Romans 14:7‑9)). How closely God kept to His people and His land. And this is exactly the way He wants to be with us now. Just realize this Book was written about 1,300 years before Christ was born, and all these stories have meanings which He fulfills some yet future.
