It is a great time to be reading Numbers. Probably for the first time I am enjoying reading God's law. It becomes interesting when you pull things apart, draw diagrams, see how it all fits and how detailed things were accounted for.
Mind exploding stuff.
The picture coming out so far is God is not chaotic and he is very holy. VERY HOLY.
The massive contrast is that we are very unholy and unclean.
That there is great cost, life of animals, lengths and things to do (sacrifices etc.) to become clean before God. And even then those sacrifices only made the Israelites clean temporarily.
It shows how much Christ has done to made us clean, a people purified for himself. Now that we have been made righteous through his blood on the cross and his life, we are now holy before God!
That's love, that's the ultimate sacrifice!
