Leviticus 19: Ye--All of You--Shall Be Holy

This chapter begins with one of the great challenges of the Bible. The whole community of Israelites is told to be holy. Holiness is the theme of this book for the priests—but it is also expected that all people should choose this manner of living. One of the beginning points of holiness is that each person was to learn holiness at home by respecting mother and father. As you read, meditate. And as you meditate, see what other things are in Leviticus 19 that will promote your own personal, holy life.
