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 was 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.
