Numbers, often referred to as the Book of Faithfulness, contrasts the faithfulness of God with the recurring unfaithfulness of the Israelites. Pastor Nathan teaches on God's unwavering commitment to His covenant, His role as a warrior king, the call to holiness and obedience, and the cycle of rebellion and intercession. The narrative of the bronze serpent in Numbers 21, where faith leads to healing, foreshadows the crucifixion of Jesus and the salvation it brings. As we reflect on these scriptures, we are encouraged to trust in God's promises and live in obedience to His word.

Our journey through the Old Testament, specifically Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus, has revealed the overarching narrative of God's redemptive work, which finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. In Genesis, we encounter the all-powerful Creator who forms mankind for relationship, and despite humanity's fall into sin, God promises a Redeemer. Exodus showcases God's faithfulness as He delivers the Israelites from Egypt, emphasizing that His grace precedes the law. Leviticus then presents the sacrificial system, which underscores the necessity of atonement and points to Christ's ultimate sacrifice. As we delve into these texts, we are invited to consider our own relationship with God, the pursuit of holiness, and our calling to share the transformative message of the gospel.

The Road to Emmaus narrative from Luke 24 serves as a poignant example of how anxieties and uncertainties can obscure our spiritual vision, preventing us from seeing Jesus at work in our lives. The disciples' inability to recognize Jesus walking with them mirrors our own occasional spiritual blindness. However, Jesus's approach to dispel their doubts—through the clarity of Scripture and the intimacy of breaking bread—reveals the means by which we can also come to recognize Him. By delving into the Word and fostering a deeper communion with Christ, we can transform our understanding and ignite a passionate response to His presence. This story challenges us to examine our own lives, confront our anxieties, and seek a more profound fellowship with Jesus, allowing our hearts to burn with His truth and love.
