Bible in a Year:  Leviticus 25; Mark 1:23–45

Insight  In Proverbs , the righteous are the wise, and the foolish are the wicked ( for example , see 10:1–3 ). A wise person is one who obeys God and His Word, thus avoiding moral pitfalls and failures. In contrast, a fool is one who says, “There is no God” ( Psalm 14:1 ). Solomon contrasts the wise and the foolish ( Proverbs 10–15 ), comparing their attitudes , actions , and speech . Proverbs 15 describes the wise person as one who is discerning ( v . 21 ), seeks godly counsel ( v . 22 ), speaks graciously ( v . 23 ), lives cautiously ( v . 24 ), is humble ( v . 25 ), pure ( v . 26 ), honest ( v . 27 ), self-controlled ( v . 28 ), prayerful ( v . 29 ), teachable ( vv . 31–32 ), and fears God ( v . 33 ). The foundation for such a godly life is stated at the beginning of Proverbs in 1:7, repeated in 9:10 , and reiterated again in 15:33 : The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom.

The 12-step program involves forgiving and forging renewed relationships when possible. But the story with God is different. There’s an acute awareness that we can’t fix things with our Creator ; we need someone or something else to do it for us. Jesus is described as the atonement, the sacrifice, and the perfect offering. But what do these terms actually mean? In Leviticus 5:14–6:30 , we learn what it means for Jesus to be a guilt offering: He takes the guilt of the people, incurred through their sinful acts, and takes it upon Himself . He becomes the “ram without defect from the flock” ( Lev 6:6 ). Jesus takes the stage as the Suffering Servant in Isa 52:13–53:12 , fulfilling the events it prophesies. Isaiah 53:10 reads, “If she places [the servant’s] life a guilt offering, he will ...
