Who would have thought that a book called Numbers would contain interesting stories that are applicable to our lives today? Actually, the Jews call the book In the Desert, which is not only a more engaging title but also more descriptive of the history the book records about the wanderings of the people of God in the desert between Egypt and the Promised Land. The New Testament refers several times Numbers in order to point us to Christ and to call us to persevere in faith until we reach our Promised Land. If you need some encouragement for the journey, it’s Numbers to the rescue!
The parable often called the Wheat and the Tares gives hope that one day all will be made right.
The church in Thessalonica not only followed worthy examples but also became one itself.
Christ’s ascension is what we need in the Day of Judgment.
