The following is an excerpt from my book God Is Closer Than You Think:
Today was laundry day. The same clothes that were cleaned on the previous laundry day were cleaned again today. And, I suppose, the same clothes that were laundered today will be laundered on the next laundry day!
This is kind of what it was like to live during the days of Leviticus.
Every day, sacrifices were made to ensure that the sins and misgivings of the people were absolved until the next day’s sacrifice. Each day, blood needed to be spilled.
As laundry day comes to a close, I think to myself, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone invented a detergent that would clean our laundry forever?”
The Levitical system reminded people that God was far. But today, we can look to a sacrifice that can clean our “dirty laundry” once and for all. This sacrifice is the sacrifice of Jesus.
