THE EVENT THAT IS REPEATED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

Nb 17:1-15

Today's text relates an event which doesn't stop being repeated during the Old Testament. Only Jesus Christ the Lord was able to stop this event. Lets us think about three things.

1) mankind's sin (6).

To rescue humans from sin, the Eternal God punished Qoré's band. But the next day, after 24 hours, the rebel murmuring again exploded from the Israelites' mouth. But it's the reality of sinful humans. Humans like sin. (Jn 3:19, Gn 9:2)

2) God's judgment (11)

In the Old Testament, God's judgment is expressed in corporal's death, but the real judgment toward humans is'nt the body's disappearance, it's separation between God and human (Hb 9:27)

3) The work of Jesus Christ (13) A

At the moment when Aaron stood up between the killed and the living, the plague could be stopped. But what Aaron did wasn't sufficient for mankind's salvation, only Jesus Christ's blood on the cross can really stop the plague caused by sin (Eph 5:1, 1 Tim 2:5). How do you resolve the problem of sin which persists in your heart ?

Prayer : Thank you Lord, you sent us the mediator between you and us to resolve sin's problem which persists

Bottom line : our mediator
