I was reading in Numbers 16 this morning and couldn’t help but notice that the rebellion described there against Moses and Aaron; even to the very terminology used; bore remarkable resemblance to the way unsaved people react to the preaching and witnessing of Bible principles in our own day and time. Just like Korah and those who thought like him threw strong words in Moses’ and Aaron’s faces. “You take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?” (Num. 16:3). How many people have we heard people respond to what the Scripture says by telling us that ‘we (the preacher/witnesser) are lifting ourselves up over people - after all - everyone has the right to be and think what they want to, right? ‘
That didn’t seem to be the case with Korah and all those who aligned themselves with he and his positions! The result to them was awful judgement!! What is important is that Moses spoke the truth regardless of who heard it and how they would/did respond! His job was to obey God and do as God told him! That is our job as well! We must obey the Lord and speak the truth…come what may!
