How Can We Get Close to God? (Ancient Answer Revealed) | Land of Israel Fellowship

How does a finite broken human being draw close to an infinite perfect God? He doesn't say, "Figure it out." He doesn't say, "There is no coming close to me. You're just too far." He gives us a system, a structure, a pathway through the korbanot. Because love, real love, isn't just a it a feeling, it's a it's a framework. It's a commitment. It's a way of living. And so So, where where are we when Vayikra begins? Where are we in the Torah? Right? We've just finished building the Mishkan. We just finished the construction of the Tabernacle. The divine presence, the Shekinah, has descended into the camp of Israel. God is living amongst us. God is no longer speaking from a a distant mountain like Sinai. He's not thundering from the heavens. He's now dwelling amongst us, within us. Uh he's always living within us, but the awareness and the consciousness and the potency of that is beyond anything we could we've ever experienced, you know? And now he calls, you know, not from the sky, not from a distance, but from inside the tent, from within our camp. And that's love. The infinite, unknowable, beyond all comprehension creator of the universe is saying, "I don't just want you to believe in me. I want you. I want you to come close to me." >> [music]
