NUMBERS 16:
In Numbers 15, we found out that there were sacrifices that could be made for unintentional sins— whether done by the whole community or by an individual. But there was no sacrifice to cover an intentional sin— such as working on the Sabbath, as was so clearly illustrated by the man who gathered wood on the Sabbath. Then at the very end of chapter 15, we heard the instruction about the tassels with a blue cord that were to hang on the four corners of the Israelites’ garments. Those are the tassels that Tevia in the musical Fiddler on the Roof doesn't know the meaning of.

PSALM 36:
While this is a song praising God’s unfailing love, I want you to notice today how some parts of this poem are so appropriate to the story about Dathan, Abiram, and Korah.

LUKE 23a:
Chapter 22 ended with Peter's denial of being a follower of Jesus, and we heard of the council's decision against Jesus.

Let’s pray:
O Lord, we have seen through our readings in Numbers how guilty we would be if we attempted to gain perfection in your sight based on keeping the Law of Moses. We could never remember to do all those things. We could never satisfy all the requirements of the Law. Thank you for Jesus, our Savior, who rescues us and justifies us from all the sins and mistakes we could not be cleansed from under the Old Covenant. Because we have violated your Laws on purpose. Judged by the Law’s standards, we each should be stoned to death. But we are not stoned to death because when Jesus prayed, “O Lord take this cup of suffering from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done.”--- You did your will and said No to His request. Jesus was willing to do your will— dying for me, and for my listener. Thank you Father for his sacrifice. All we can do is say Thank you. Thank You! And today, we desire to live for the glory of Christ Jesus.
