We have to be reminded continually
that Jesus Christ did not come to start a religion
but rather
he came to establish a Kingdom.
Our religious grids sometimes keep us from the Kingdom.
At the same time,
a lot of people think that the Body of Christ
is a jelly-fish.
All that matters is my relationship with Jesus
and everything else is up for grabs.
Have you noticed that jellyfish
never build anything?
The Kingdom
as it says in Revelation
is taking the world
from a wild garden
to a city.
And cities
and kingdoms
have order.
We see this in Leviticus.
There is a very clear order about God's plan for his people.
They were first given holidays,
then an order for the pattern of worship,
and then rules for life.
This was about creating a culture.
