Numbers 4:1-3 NLT
[1] Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, [2] "Record the names of the members of the clans and families of the Kohathite division of the tribe of Levi. [3] List all the men between the ages of thirty and fifty who are eligible to serve in the Tabernacle.

- P124

Numbers 4:15 NLT
[15] The camp will be ready to move when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the sacred articles. The Kohathites will come and carry these things to the next destination. But they must not touch the sacred objects, or they will die. So these are the things from the Tabernacle that the Kohathites must carry.
- P126

Numbers 4:16 NLT
[16] "Eleazar son of Aaron the priest will be responsible for the oil of the lampstand, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. In fact, Eleazar will be responsible for the entire Tabernacle and everything in it, including the sanctuary and its furnishings." - P127

Numbers 4:17-19 NLT
[17] Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, [18] "Do not let the Kohathite clans be destroyed from among the Levites! [19] This is what you must do so they will live and not die when they approach the most sacred objects. Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and assign a specific duty or load to each person.
- P127

God instructs Moses to take a census of the Kohathites,Gershonites, andMerarites, the three Levitical clans tasked with the care of the tabernacle.
The Kohathites are responsible for the sacred objects, the Gershonites for thetent coverings and curtains, and the Merarites for the tabernacle‘s structure.
Specific duties are assigned to each group. - P125

The consequences are severe for any of the Kohathites who tries to do thework of the priests. God calls each of us to a special place of service in Hischurch and kingdom. It is important that we maintain our place.  - P128

46To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites,

47collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs.

48Give the money for the redemption of the additional Israelites to Aaron and his sons." - P119

The Israelites did all this just as the LORD commanded Moses. - Numbers 1:54 - P121

The place of firstborn represents the first and best of God’s blessings among His people. Because of this, every firstborn is to be dedicated and given to the Lord. - P120

Firstborn male children, however, are not offered as sacrifices. Instead they are redeemed by the Levites, who belong to the Lord and are devoted to His service. Since the number of firstborn males exceeds the number of Levites, they are redeemed with a specific redemption price. - P120

Ultimately, this practice points us to the ministry of Jesus, the one the New Testament calls the firstborn of God (Heb. 1:6), who gave His life as a ransom for us.
- P120

Hebrews 1:6 NLT
[6] And when he brought his supreme Son into the world, God said, "Let all of God’s angels worship him."
- P120

 As we give a portion of these things to God, we can be certain thatHe will honor our sacrifice. He will return to us more than we can possiblythink or imagine.  - P120

To fail to sacrificially give is to miss out on God‘s plansand blessings on our lives. Even worse, refusing to give for the edificationof God‘s people causes us to become spiritually stagnant and unfruitful. - P120

Lord Jesus, You gave Yourself unreservedly and completely for me. I am humbled by the price You willingly paid. May my life be a sacrifice of all I am, have, and hope to be in the service of Your kingdom. In Your name, I pray, amen. - P120

변화산에서 보았던 놀라운 광채를 세상으로 가지고내려와 그 빛을 따라 순종하는 삶을 사는 것입니다. 뜨거움은 시간이 지나면 식습니다. 뜨거움이 식지 않도록 하는 비결은 주님이 주시는 비전에 끊임없이 나를드리는 것입니다. - P100

우리의심령 속에서 성령께서 역사하실 때, 그 뜨거움을 유지하는 길은 성령님께 내어드리는 것입니다. - P100

1 Corinthians 3:3 NLT
[3] for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn’t that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren’t you living like people of the world? - P101

신앙에서 꼭 점검해야 하는 포인트가 있습니다. 우리가 영에 속한 사람인지, 아니면 육에 속한 사람인지를 아는 것입니다.  - P101

성경을 읽으며 그 말씀이 우리 속에 적용되고 있음이 감사함으로 고백된다면 분명 영에 속한 사람이라고 말할 수 있습니다. 하지만 그 말씀이 우리를 불편하게 한다면 육신의 일을도모하고 있음이 분명합니다.  - P101

말씀이 마음을 찌르고 불편하게 할 때 감사하십시오 우리에게 말씀에 반응할 수 있는 기회가 찾아왔기 때문입니다. - P101

빛에 서는 자는 죄에 대하여 민감해지며, 찬란한 빛 앞에서 변명이 얼마나 무의미한지 알게 됩니다. 영에 속한 자가 되어 죄를 자백하는순간 하나님께서 그 잘못된 것들을 다루어가십니다.  - P101

하나님께서 우리 삶에 어떻게 관여하시는지를 알게 될 때 우리는 비로소 영적인 사람이 되어갑니다. 성령께서 우리를 아프게 하실 때, 회피하지 말고 인도하심에 자신을 맡기는 것입니다. - P101

14The Lord said to Moses in the Desert of Sinai,

15"Count the Levites by their families and clans. Count every male a month old or more." - P112

25At the tent of meeting the Gershonites were responsible for the care of the tabernacle and tent, its coverings, the curtain at the entrance to the tent of meeting,

26the curtains of the courtyard, the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard surrounding the tabernacle and altar, and the ropes—and everything related to their use. - P113

28The number of all the males a month old or more was 8,600. The Kohathites were responsible for the care of the sanctuary. - P114

30The leader of the families of the Kohathite clans was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.

31They were responsible for the care of the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the articles of the sanctuary used in ministering, the curtain, and everything related to their use.

- P114

32The chief leader of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron, the priest. He was appointed over those who were responsible for the care of the sanctuary. - P114

36The Merarites were appointed to take care of the frames of the tabernacle, its crossbars, posts, bases, all its equipment, and everything related to their use,

37as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs and ropes.

38Moses and Aaron and his sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, in front of the tent of meeting. They were responsible for the care of the sanctuary on behalf of the Israelites. Anyone else who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death. - P115

Tasked with disassembling, transporting, and reassembling the tabernacle, they always set out before the Kohathites (see Num. 10:14–21). - P116

The care of the ark of the covenant as well as all the essential furnishings of the tabernacle is the responsibility assigned to the Kohathite clans. - P116

As our service meets the needs of other believers, we are also bringing glory and honor to Christ our Lord. - P116

Throughout the Bible, we see countless examples of God appointing leadersfor specific seasons and purposes according to His will-from Noah build-ing an ark to Moses leading His people through the Red Sea, from Davidfacing Goliath to Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem‘s walls.  - P117

Every time God‘speople are faithful in obeying His instructions, they are not only blessedindividually, but they lead many others into blessings also. Not many of uswill become leaders in the same magnitude as Noah or Nehemiah, but Godhas appointed all of us to lead in some capacity in our lives. - P117

As an elementary teacher, I am constantly aware of the influence I have overthe young hearts and minds of my students. They are impressionable andwhat I say and do holds weight in their eyes. This is why I pray that I wouldalways lead them with humility and truth, admitting my own mistakesand shortcomings while at the same time holding them accountable fortheir choices.  - P117

Help us recognize how much we need each other as we serve You by serving Your people. In Your name, amen. - P117

Jesus prays for the unity of the future church, which He compares tothe unity that He has with His Father. The goal of unity is evangelistic;it will lead to non-believers acknowledging that Jesus was sent by God.
- P175

We tend to forget about unity or deem it unattainable, but Jesus praysspecifically for it, and we should desire for our local churches to be a fulfillment of this prayer.  - P175

Jesus also prays for His followers to be with Himand see His glory. The glory of Jesus is the manifestation of God‘s entirecharacter in His life. To see Jesus‘ glory is to enter into and experiencethis glory for ourselves.  - P175

We experience a shadow of this now, but we willsee it in full when Christ returns. We may experience seasons when it isfrom the factcourageharder to see the glory of Jesus, but we can takethat He prayed for us.  - P175

For our part, we can also take steps to removedistractions and come before Jesus to truly see Him for all that He is. - P175

Pray that the Father would help you see the Son for all that He is. - P175

주님과 함께 십자가에 못 박히는 순간, 주님께서 십자가에서 이루신 일들을 우리 안에서역사하게 하십니다. 십자가에서 이루신 일로 우리의 모든 죄를 없애십니다. 우리를 의롭다 인정하십니다.  - P99

한줄노트 그리스도와 함께 죽는 것은 결심하거나 작정하는 것이 아닙니다. 그저 죽는 것입니다. - P99

 "이제 내가 육체 가운데 사는 것은"(갈2:20) 나를 위해 죽으신 주를 위해 사는 것입니다. 이제 믿음은 나의 의지가 아니라, 하나님께로부터 옵니다. 이제 내가 사는 것은 가장 친밀한 상태에서 하나님과 함께하는 시작점이 됩니다. 챔버스는 이러한 믿음을 ‘하나님의 아들이 소유하셨던 믿음‘이라고 말합니다.  - P99

이제는 내가 산다‘는 고백이 우리에게 철저한 기쁨과 감격으로 찾아와야 합니다. 이제는 내가 사는 것이 하나님을 기쁘시게 하는일이라 기대가 됩니다. 이제는 내가 사는 것이 죄의 권세를 물리치는 능력으로나타납니다. - P99

Luke 24:32 NLT
[32] They said to each other, "Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?"
- P100

챔버스는 우리그리스도인들이 겪는 대부분의 문제가 ‘죄‘ 때문이라기보다는 자신들이 가지고있는 ‘속성의 무지‘ 때문이라고 말합니다. 우리가 가지고 있는 속성이란 주로 ‘감정‘에 의해 휘둘리는 것입니다.
이 문제를 해결하는 방법은 무엇일까요? "감정에 따르는 것을 허락할지 말지를결정하는 유일한 판단 기준은, 그 감정으로 인해 야기될 결과를 미리 보는 것입니다."  - P100

뜨거움을 유지하는 비결은 성령께서 강하게 역사하실 때 순종하는 것입니다. 결정의 순간에는 성령께서 우리 안에 역사하시도록 우리를 내어드리는 ‘영적 민감성‘이 필요합니다.  - P100

뜨거움은 시간이 지나면 식습니다. 뜨거움이 식지 않도록 하는 비결은 주님이 주시는 비전에 끊임없이 나를드리는 것입니다.
한줄노트 신앙의 비결은 뜨거움이 찾아왔을 때 그 뜨거움을 놓치지 않는 것입니다. - P100
