Today’s Reading: Leviticus 2–3; John 21; Proverbs 18; Colossians 1
Leviticus 3:12–17
* Conveniently, the chapter splits of Leviticus are pretty well chosen. Chapter 2 concerns the grain offering, and chapter 3, the peace offering. I like how the peace offering is a shared meal between offerer, priest, and the Lord, who receives the best portion.
John 21:15–17
* Why does the Lord repeat his question 3 times? The repetition, in essence, painfully recalls but reverses the repeated denials of Peter from earlier; also, note how Peter is not so quick to announce his undying commitment, but rather defers to the Jesus’ omniscience—as if to say that, if he stays faithful, his shepherding of the sheep will be sustained by Christ.
Proverbs 18:5-10
* Much of wisdom and folly can be discerned by a person’s words.
Colossians 1:15–20
* Adam and Eve (and the rest of mankind) were made in the image of God, but Jesus is the image of God—the visible image of the invisible God.
