Numbers
18 God is Our Inheritance
Korah
was a Levite; the rebellion arose within the tribe of Levi. It was very serious. God told them they were responsible. You and
I are responsible for our Christian testimony, for our families, and for our
church.
It
is true that when there is sin in the church, you and I bear a certain amount
of responsibility.
Aaron
could not elevate himself by pointing out that he is God’s elect, the one whom
God has chosen as the high priest. God’s
man is to walk in humility. God’s man
bears responsibility. God outlines for
them that Aaron and his sons, oversee the sanctuary, the vessels of the
sanctuary, and the altar. The priesthood was to be sustained by their part of
the offerings and the entire “wave offering” was given to the priest.
A covenant of salt became a covenant of
permanent obligation. Aaron and all the Levites were to have no part in the
land. God, Himself was their
inheritance. God provided support for the Levites, and He expects the church to
support their ministers. It is a wonderful thing to have God as our
inheritance, and to have Him as our paymaster and to look to Him for every need. The Lord placed the Levites in that
position. They lived by faith! God told
the Levites that they were to offer a tenth part of what they received. The
Christian worker is to give to the Lord’s work also.
