Rev. George Murdaugh, pastor of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Douglasville, Georgia, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Numbers 9.
The ancient Israelites celebrate the first Passover since leaving Egypt… in the wilderness? Yes, even while contending with the wildlife and the elements, they will celebrate the Passover in their tents. And God, in His grace, provides a way for everyone to celebrate the Passover, even under exceptional circumstances. God knows that, in the midst of the stress and craziness of life, the thing we need most is forgiveness and unconditional love. That’s just as true for us as it was for them, which is why we need to celebrate the Passover. But how do Christians do that?
The rest of Numbers 9 describes what has been going on the entire time since Moses set up the Tabernacle: God has manifested His presence by cloud and by fire. Throughout all their travels, they would only move when God did; they all moved together at God’s direction. In this, we see a picture of the church: we are not called to act as independent individuals, but as members of Christ’s body, bearing the burdens of our brothers and sisters, moving only by God’s Word.
