The Bible Challenge: Day 38

The scriptures read are Leviticus 4-6, Psalm 32, and Mark 5.

Leviticus 4-6. I love the fact that there is a way to absolve one for sinning unintentionally. That says sins are not arbitrary but real damage done to the community. And should one discover after the fact that he has done wrong, he needn't live with the guilt. By the way, tucked in this passage, at the beginning of chapter 5 is a civil law that if you witness a crime and don't come forward to testify, you are guilty. John Stuart Mill said, "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends than that good men should look on and do nothing."

Psalm 32. The painful effects of unconfessed sin and the joy of being forgiven.

Mark 5. Jesus heals mentally and physically ill people, plus one who is dead!
