Penalty for Breaking the Sabbath
32 One day while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they discovered a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33 The people who found him doing this took him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the community. 34 They held him in custody because they did not know what to do with him. 35 Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must be put to death! The whole community must stone him outside the camp.” 36 So the whole community took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the LORD had commanded Moses Numbers 15:32-36
There is a lot of great things in today’s reading but every time I see Sabbath I am convicted.
I think it is still very important to God that we honor a Sabbath day rest.
He knows what is best for us but how do we break that cycle?
Sports on the weekend, shopping, mowing, as such.
We are to cease and be quiet among other things. We are not be working at our job but we are still busy doing things!
What do you think? Should we still be having a Sabbath rest?
NUMBERS 14:1-15:41
