Today's Reading Numbers 15

In Numbers 15, the Lord told Moses to say to the Israelites, AFTER you enter the land I am giving you as a home. Although they could not enter Canaan, because of their unbelief, God's grace nad mercy was shown to their children regardless of their sin. Grain and wine offering were to also to be include among the five main offerings mentioned in (Leviticus 1-7). The grain was to be mixed with oil before used. The Apostle Paul said to Timothy in 2Timothy 4.6-8 that he was poured out like drink offering, and the time of his departure was at hand. Paul was thinking of this passage in Num 15.1-12. There was to be offering for unintentional sins v. 22-30. There is the sin that is unintentional, but it must be dealt with because God is a holy God. There is an offering that must be made for it. This unintentional sin can be committed by an individual (v. 22-26) or by the whole community (v. 27-29). But if a person sins he must be cut off from the people. (v. 30-31).

We do not realize how terrible sin is. It does not matter whether the sin is commited intentionally or defiantly. God had to eradicate sin once and for all, that he sent his Son, Jesus to die in our place so that when we are His children, He does not see sin but righteousness.
