“In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out." ~ C.S. Lewis
LEVITICUS 10-12
“ 3Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Among those who are near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.’”And Aaron held his peace.”
MATTHEW 26:1-19
“ 13Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
JOURNAL
Aaron's sons are consumed by fire after not following instructions and yet here is a prostitute who is honored for "wasting" a bottle of perfume. In these passages I am reminded that often what makes sense to us is not what makes sense to God. He is after our heart and our heart solely. Therefore it is not the letter of the law but our heart and it's intent that is what matters.
