Bible in a Year (The Story) Podcast
Religion & Spirituality
Today we read Numbers 15, Deuteronomy 15, and Psalm 97. This is a story of cost and the way God makes to restore and redeem. It is also a story that echoes creation and expands on the commands given in Exodus and Leviticus. Here in this story, we are getting a reminder that to sin will happen at the individual and corporate community level. There is a cost to sin and the only way to atonement is through God’s design. There is also a sin where the heart is hard and there is an adversarial intent, the desire is exile from God, exile leads to death, and God will allow us to pull away into self-exile.
