Texts:
Numbers 20-21
Luke 3
Numbers:
The Israelites are still complaining (which should give us hope, really). This time it is about a lack of water. So God commands Aaron and Moses to take their staff, hit a rock, and command the rock to yield its water.
How obvious does God have to be for us to see God's presence?
Apparently even the sight of water flowing from a rock wasn't enough, because they complain in the next chapter as well. And God sends serpents and a number of the Israelites die.
Luke:
The text returns to John, son of Zechariah, preaching in the wilderness. Read the story of John as if he were the pastor of a church. Do you think people would still flock to a church today in which a preacher preached the message he preached? Has the church sought to be popular at the expense of the message?
And what do you think about the description of Jesus' genealogy in Luke?
John Calvin reads his Bible too.
