What does Tribe teach about leviticus jesus?
Drawn from the messages where it was actually addressed: the words said from the front, the passages taught, and where to hear the whole thing.
At Tribe, the teaching on Leviticus and Jesus starts with a simple but disorienting question: what is God actually doing in a book full of animal blood, priestly ritual, and regulations that feel foreign to us? The answer Renee brought while Brian and Lissa were away is that God is always trying to speak to us, and Leviticus is one of the places he does it most clearly. In her words, "God is always writing us a love letter. And in Leviticus today is where I'm going to attempt to reveal his love letter to us." The book is not a dead legal code. It is a picture of Jesus drawn centuries before he arrived.
Renee walked through the specific animals prescribed in Leviticus and showed how each one points forward. The young bull connects to the golden calf Israel built while Moses was on the mountain, and then to Jesus in Matthew 11 offering his yoke in place of every burden we carry. The lamb without blemish is the same lamb John names in John 1 when he says, look, the Lamb of God. The ram caught in the thicket in Genesis 22 is the same male sheep of the burnt offering. The doves available to those too poor for larger animals are the form the Holy Spirit took at Jesus' baptism. Even the pagan practice of reading animal organs to find divine guidance gives meaning to God's instructions about burning those same organs: God was closing the door on every false way of reaching him, because Jesus would be the one true way.
The thread connecting all of it is consecration. In Leviticus, the priest splattering blood on the altar was a symbol of what Jesus has now done to our hearts. The altar is no longer a physical structure in a tent. Renee also brought one image from the broader Tribe teaching series into focus: the question of who walks out of the fight between you and Jesus. The answer she offered was this, "In the struggle, if you win, you lose. But if he wins, you win." That is the logic of Leviticus too. Every sacrifice pointed toward the one who would win on our behalf.
Taught from John 1:29 · Matthew 11:28-30 · Leviticus 1:4-5 · Genesis 22:13-14 · Luke 3:22
“In the struggle, if you win, you lose. But if he wins, you win.”
