Numbers 27-30
Odd combination of events, Moses is dying: women are granted property
rights and vows are regulated.
Right in the middle is a long list of offerings. It remains a bloody
dying mess to have a relationship with God. Here we have a continual procession of lambs, rams, bulls
and goats being led to the slaughter in order to bind our humanity to His
Holiness. How would you sew humans
to Pure, Perfect, Holiness? In
quietness, right now, gently ask yourself, “How would I bind myself to God
Almighty? What could I do, say or perform to accomplish that?”
In your hopelessness hear God!
“But He (Jesus) was pierced through for our transgressions
He was crushed for our iniquities
The chastening for our well-being fell on Him.
And by His scourging we are healed.
All of us, like sheep, have gone astray
Each of us has turned to his own way
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him
He was oppressed and He was afflicted
Yet He did not open His mouth
Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter…” Isaiah 53:5-7
I love Jesus!
