See Catcadar on B5 | God's Standard for Living Peppers Sunday School | Lesson , l)iF ?"'* Devotional Reading: Luke 10:25-37 Lesson Scripture: Leviticus 19: 9-18, 33-37 Lesson Aims: To discuss God's compassion toward us; to recognize that He expects us to follow His example; and to do justice and love mercy. Background: The third book of the Fenteuch (Law) got its name from the Septuagint (Greek Bible) that means "pertaining to the Levites." This book was passed down orally for hun dreds of years before it was written. Leviticus is not only the "Manual for Priests" but it also gives the laws for wor ship, morality, holy days and the Year of Jubilee. Holiness (being set apart) in all things is the core thrust. Chapters 17-26 focus on "holy living." Mahatma Gandhi, the political and spiritual leader in India during their fight for independence from Britain, was Hindu. While stHl in South Africa, the Christian church refused to let him enter. Sometime later, he stat ed; "I like your Jesus; I don't like your Christians." Sx?miU9dir*ftal( In the mir itJT. *Do %e- really live like God wants? Lesson: Today, we will focus on the treatment of the poor, loving our neighbors and protecting foreigners. The basis for all of the 600 plus laws that the Jews adhere to spring from the first 10. They are the foundation for relationships. The first four are a "verti cal relationship" with God while the six remaining laws are "horizontal relation ships" with one another (UMI Direction). The con nection between the "haves and the have nots" always stirs heated debate. God's Law says that the haves are not to take everything for themselves, leaving the poor with nothing. Those who have are not to steal, lie or deceive. By the same token, those who don't have are not to steal, lie or deceive either. What comes first: the chicken or the egg? Whatever lot is yours, don't exploit others! Exploitation takes many forms.
