Leviticus 9:7-10:20Mark 4:26-5:20
Psalm 37:30-40
Proverbs 10:6-7
The story in Leviticus 10 of Nadab and Abihu reminds us of the seriousness of treating God holy. The two boys sin against their God, by not treating holy things as holy. As the text unfolds, we read God's words-
‘I will display my holiness through those who come near me. I will display my glory before all the people.’”
Then the text says that "Aaron was silent." It's a terrible thing to realize that God hasn't been treated with the respect that he deserves. Aaron sees this, and can't say a word. He is humbled by the sin of his boys. This text serves as a reminder. God is holy! We should honor him as such.
