February 6th | Leviticus 10
Family Worship
SETTING THE SCENE
In Leviticus 8-9, God consecrated Aaron and his sons as priests. They were to be holy and obey God’s commands. They were to make offerings to God on behalf of the people. At the end of chapter 9, after they had worshiped God correctly, it says,
“23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting, and when they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. 24 And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar, and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces.”
Correct worship of God led to God’s power and presence being revealed to the people in a special way. We see the other side of the coin in Leviticus 10:1-3. Nadab and Abihu do not worship God correctly, and He displays His presence and power in a terrifying way of judgment.
This passage has two main takeaways. First, we should approach God with reverence and awe; when we do, we can experience His presence and power in our lives. Second, if we have trusted in Jesus, God’s wrath is poured out on Christ, not us. Praise God for His grace, and may we seek to worship Christ rightly and put Him first in our lives.
