Numbers 15:1-41
We read of offerings for 'atonement' (25,28). We think of Christ: He went 'outside the camp' for us (35-36; Hebrews 13:12) - to bring us forgiveness (25,28). We are to 'be holy to our God', the God of our redemption (40-41). Obedience to God is of the utmost importance:We need to be reminded of all His commandments (39). Our supreme motivation is redeeming love. This divine redemption creates a relationship. God is our God and we are His people. Out of this relationship is to come the obedience of faith (40-41). 'E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die'; 'When He comes, our glorious King, all His ransomed home to bring, then anew this song we'll sing, "Hallelujah! What a Saviour!"' (Mission Praise, 671; Church Hymnary, 380).
