Scripture Union Daily Guide 28 June 2024 – MESSAGE
Observe that anyone who was isolated because of an infectious disease, whether poor or rich, must perform the cleansing ritual before they can be restored to fellowship. Although God is merciful, He will not excuse anyone from His righteous requirements (Romans 6:26).
However, the Lord also ensured that cleansing and purification was possible for all. He hence made gracious provision to accommodate everyone, both the rich and poor, making concessions for the very poor (vs.21-22). He does not want anyone to be isolated from fellowship with Him perpetually.
He has no pleasure in the death of a sinner. And He does not want the rich to monopolise His blessings. What do you think the church would be like were salvation to be based on how much people can pay?
The kingdom of God caters for all categories of people; the rich and the poor and so all can come freely to God, belong to His family, and find forgiveness. We should not make it difficult or expensive for people to find God’s mercy and to worship Him.
Practice/Word Application
What next? Think of some practical ways to help those around you (rich and poor alike) to access the salvation that is available in Christ?
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Pray for grace to do it. Then take action.
Offer a prayer of faith in line with Ephesians 1:18
“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,”
