So from now on we don’t look at anyone the way the world does. At one time we looked at Christ in that way. But we don’t anymore.

“‘ Suppose a man in Aaron’s family line has a skin disease. Or suppose liquid waste is flowing out of his body. Then he can’t eat the sacred offerings until he is made pure and clean. Suppose he touches something made“ unclean” by coming near a dead body. Or suppose he touches someone who has semen flowing from his body. Then he will be“ unclean.”

The Lord said to Moses,“ Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron. Tell them,‘ A priest must not make himself“ unclean” by going near the dead body of any of his people.But he can go near the body of a close relative. It could be his mother, father, son, daughter or brother.He can also go near a sister who is not married. She would have depended on him because she did not have a husband. The priest can make himself“ unclean” by going near her body.But he must not make himself“ unclean” by going near the bodies of people only related to him by marriage. Going near them would make him“ unclean.”“‘ Priests must not shave any part of their heads. They must not shave off the edges of their beards. They must not make cuts on their bodies when someone dies.Priests must be holy. They must be set apart for me. I am their God. They must not treat my name as if it were not holy. They must be holy because they bring food offerings to me. That is my food.

Brothers and sisters, we want you to know what happens to those who die. We don’t want you to mourn, as other people do. They mourn because they don’t have any hope.We believe that Jesus died and rose again. When he returns, many who believe in him will have died already. We believe that God will bring them back with Jesus.This agrees with what the Lord has said. When the Lord comes, many of us will still be alive. We tell you that we will certainly not go up before those who have died.

Another follower said to him,“ Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”But Jesus told him,“ Follow me. Let the dead bury their own dead.”
