Daily Bible Reading: Leviticus 19-20, Matthew 27:51-66

Leviticus 19:1-4 (ESV) And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy. Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves any gods of cast metal: I am the LORD your God.

19:1-2. This chapter is not addressed to a few ascetics but to the entire assembly of Israel, the whole nation. The underlying motivation for holiness is expressed in what can be considered the motto of Leviticus—Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy. This statement weds ethics to theology forever. Human morality must ultimately rest on the unchanging nature of God. “Every biblical statement about God carries with it an implied demand upon men to imitate Him in daily living” (R.E. Clements, “Leviticus,” in The Broadman Bible Commentary, 2:51). God called Israel to be a holy nation (Ex. 19:6).

Signs Accompanying Jesus’ Death

Mark 15:38–41; Luke 23:45, 47–49

Matthew 27:51-54 NKJV Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.  So, when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”^[1]
