Numbers 9

(April 13, 2014)
When we have difficulties, too often we either complain to the Lord or we seek to solve them ourselves.  But we have a better example in this chapter.  The men of Israel didn’t know what to do about the Passover, and so they went to Moses.  They presented their issue and they waited on the Lord to answer them. They then accepted the Lord’s answer.  Some modern political movements of our current day could stand to learn a lesson from this – they neither wait patiently for the Lord to answer, nor do they accept the answer when it comes.

The other thought was how free the Gospel is to all of us - even in the days of the Israelites, the blessings of the Passover were to be made available to all.  This clearly gave a glimpse into the day when the Gospel would be taken to all the world.
