Levite Hands for Worship

Synopsis     1Chron 9:26-40     12/17/2019 

The chronicler described the varying responsibilities of the different clans from the tribe of Levi. For example, some clans were responsible for maintaining the vessels used in the sacrificial system. Others were responsible for keeping the ingredients used in the production of incense. And still others were responsible for preparing the showbread at the altar.  

Levite Hands for Worship 

The sacrificial system of Israelite worship wasn’t a one-man show – or even a one-clan show. The processes of worship required the committed effort of many people.  

The Community of Christ 

Christ requires a community. That is why the apostle says, “Now you are the body of Christ, and individually parts of it.”  

It’s a mistake for any of us to think that we’re in this alone. On the other hand, it is perhaps a more grievous error for me to think that my contribution is meaningless or insignificant.  

“As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ” 1Cor 12:12
