Last Sunday afternoon, we heard from Leviticus 12 together. This unusual chapter is especially about the birth of children. In particular, it reminds us that children are a wonderful gift from God, but childbirth is now painful and bloody because of Adam’s sin. Even more, it shows us the reality of original sin: because of Adam’s sin, we are born into this world sinful and deserving God’s wrath. Yet there is hope. Even in Leviticus 12, God provided a way of cleansing and salvation for His people through circumcision and sacrifices. These were shadows that pointed forward to the one way of salvation in Jesus Christ. Jesus perfectly obeyed God’s law for us, and He suffered the penalty that our sin deserves. All who trust in Jesus are born again into a living hope through Jesus Christ. This week, take some time to thank God for the incredible gift of Jesus Christ and pray for those who still need to hear this news.
