Observations from today’s readings and today’s S-WOD, Tuesday, 25 March 2025:

Listen to this message by Dr. J. Vernon McGee on Numbers 8: https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/popPlayer.cfm?id=4233&rel=mcgee_j_vernon/Num

Numbers 8:19 – “And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to do the service for the people of Israel at the tent of meeting and to make atonement for the people of Israel, that there may be no plague among the people of Israel when the people of Israel come near the sanctuary.”

In this verse, God declares that He has given the Levites as a gift to Aaron, his sons, and ultimately to the people of God for the purpose of worship and ministry. He set them apart to serve, to help make atonement, and to stand in the gap for His people.

In the same way, every Christian is a gift from God to the church. Each believer has been uniquely given for the good of the church and the glory of Christ. This truth bestows immeasurable dignity and irreplaceable value on every individual, affirming that all Christians have a vital role in God’s plan and are indispensable to the body of Christ.

The Levites didn’t choose themselves; God called them. In the same way, Christians should be willing to serve wherever God places them, trusting that He equips those He calls.

Numbers 8:21 — And the Levites purified themselves from sin and washed their clothes….

Purity is required of those who would serve the Lord.
