In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will continue through Matthew 8, exploring the true cost of following Jesus, the meaning behind “let the dead bury their own dead,” Jesus calming the storm, and his authority over demons. Along the way, they connect these stories to Daniel, Jonah, the Psalms, spiritual warfare, and the bigger question Matthew keeps asking: Who is Jesus?

In this episode, Sam and Will explore why Leviticus distinguishes between clean and unclean animals, including rules about mammals, seafood, birds, and carcasses. They explain how Israel’s dietary laws set God’s people apart and taught them to think seriously about holiness and drawing near to God. They also discuss why Christians are no longer required to follow these food restrictions and how Jesus shifts the focus from ritual cleanliness to the condition of the heart. The conversation examines childbirth purification, the cleansing ritual for leprosy, and how its imagery points to Jesus. You’ll also learn how Christians are called to live differently through love, obedience, and the fruit of the Spirit. Consider what habits in your life draw you toward God and what needs to be left behind. Share this episode with someone who wants to understand Leviticus and its meaning for Christians today.

The discussion also explains the significance of sacrificial blood, how Jesus fulfills the Old Testament priesthood, and why Nadab and Abihu’s unauthorized fire brought deadly consequences.

This episode finishes Matthew chapter 7 from the Sermon on the Mount, covering what Jesus really meant by "ask, seek, and knock." Sam and Will explain how the Greek grammar reveals this is a command to persevere in pursuing God, not a promise that God will give you anything you want. They explore how Luke 11:13 shows that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate gift God wants to give you, and how Paul's thorn in the flesh demonstrates God's power working through weakness. The episode also covers the Golden Rule, the narrow gate, how to recognize false prophets by their fruit, and the sobering warning that not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" will enter heaven. The key takeaway is that salvation is not about religious performance but about truly knowing Jesus and building your life on Him as your foundation. If you are new to the Bible or exploring Christianity, this episode will help you understand what it means to trust God even when He does not answer prayer the way you expect.
