24,000 men of Israel died because of a season of immorality with Moabite women who were not their wives. Phinehas took a spear and thrust it through the mid sections of one such man engaging in adultery with a Midianite woman. This act of indignation against this sin stopped the plague and appeased the anger of God.

Similarly, the act of sacrifice Christ made on a cross on Calvary’s hill appeased the wrath of God against the sin of all who would look upon Him as their Lord and Savior.

Hallelujah! What a Savior.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, Jesus, we are forever indebted to You for Your unselfish act of submitting to death on a tree that we might be made free from sin.

DAILY READING:  Num. 24-26
