“ Great Sermon! ” Leviticus 15's theme is the holiness of God and its incompatibility with certain physical things. The section deals with chronic imperfection in men and women, but why did sex, childbirth, make a person unclean? Because they are earthly, physical and are not holy. Jesus tells us how to be clean. Our priorities may need to be rearranged. God looks at us and says, "You know I'm not first in your life. I'm somewhere down the line. The older we get in our Christian life, we realize there are things that need to be cut away. Sexual impurity is not to be located among the people of God. Leviticus is teaching us we must be pure. The theme of the book can also be stated, "Cleanliness is next to godliness." To the Corinthians, Paul said "Flee sexual immorality." To Timothy, Paul said, "Flee the evil desires of youth," pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace along with those who love the Lord out of a pure heart." We're to be like Joseph, who fled from Potipher's wife. What does God want to do? He wants to spare us from the pain from broken relationships, unwanted pregnancies, distrust, blows to self-esteem, sexual addiction, physical and sexual violence. Sexuality is a gift from God and He told us it has to be maintained in a pure way. Only through Jesus Christ cleansing am I saved.
