Going Up

Published: March 17, 2022, 8 a.m.

Reading Numbers 20:22-29 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. The significance of going up the mountain, reaching the goal. The consequence of rebellion. Choosing our own way is a rebellion against God. All of the “heroes” of the Old Testament fall short of the Glory of God and fail to earn their way into the promises of God. Isaiah 53:5, “pierced for our rebellion.” Death separating us from relationship with those who have joined their ancestors. The promises of more than what we see and experience. The royal colors of the priestly garments. 1 Peter 2:5, living stones, royal priests, a holy nation.
