Numbers 16-17

(April 18, 2014)
How could the people have so quickly turned against Moses and against Aaron?  When they had been so miraculously rescued from Egypt, you would think that this would have been sufficient to have held them a matter of a few years before they went apostate.  I suppose that it is simple to convince ourselves that those who lead us are ‘fallen’ or otherwise unqualified.  After all, we struggle to be right in our thoughts.  If someone disagrees with us, then they must be wrong.  If the person who disagrees with us is a Priesthood leader, then they must be fallen.  It is a seductive trap to fall into.
