Day 069 -- March 10

Old Testament Reading: Leviticus 21:1-22:33

Those who serve God's holy people are to live exemplary lives. The same is true today. If they don't, the word of God can be discredited.

The priest, like the Passover lamb, was to have no defect, thus pointing ahead to Christ who had no sin.

By giving the first and best to God, we express the truth that God has first place in our hearts.

New Testament Reading: Mark 15:1-32

Again, Jesus doesn't follow proper procedure by defending Himself.

Do what is right, Pilate. Why the politics of trying to switch the prisoners? However, in Barabbas we see ourselves. The guilty are set free. The innocent is condemned.

The "mocking" was entertainment for the bored soldiers.

The crucifixion included verbal abuse from the malefactors, the Jewish leaders and the people passing by.

Psalm/Proverb Reading: Psalm 31:19-24

David ends the Psalm in an upbeat fashion by praising God and giving glory to God as the God who comes to the rescue of His people.
