Song # 2148 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. We read in the Book of Numbers in chapter 15 of a man found gathering wood on the Sabbath who was stoned to death as the Lord commanded.
While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day (Numbers 15:32). Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly (Numbers 15:33), and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him (Numbers 15:34). Then the Lord said to Moses “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp” (Numbers 15:35). So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses (Numbers 15:36).
Thought for today: face your sins, repent and put them behind you.
Thought for the future: God’s help is only a prayer away. Where will you spend your eternity?
