Exodus 29
- Aaron and his two sons were ordained with a bull and 2 rams and unleavened bread.
- The bull will be killed and its blood sprinkled on the horn of the Ark and the rest of the blood poured out on the alter.
- Why did they burn the flesh and dung of the bull outside the camp?
- The bull was killed as a sin offering.
- The first ram is killed as a burnt offering.
- Why does God like this particular smell?
- Who is the "you" referring to in these directions?
- The second ram is then killed and its blood thrown against the alter.
- Why does Aaron put its blood on his right ear, right toe, and right thumb?
- What is the significance of a wave offering and a food offering?
- Aaron and his sons shall eat of the 2nd ram. This is a peace offering. They must eat it all before morning. The leftovers should be burned.
- The holy garments must be worn for 7 days by each new priest.
- They were to kill a bull every day for 7 days and cleanse the alter.
- Did they sacrifice 2 lambs each day or jusr during those 7 days?
- These directions were to remind the people the the Lord was their God.
Proverbs 5
- Solomon warns his son about the adulterous woman who may appear smooth but will ultimately lead to death.
- He warns to keep away from her who can take your honor
- Do not hate discipline which will lead to ruin.
- You should rejoice in the wife of your youth (which Solomon did in the Song of solomon)
- Why didn't Solomon follow this advice later in his own life when he had many many wives?
- These warnings are against being led stray.
John 9
- Jesus is asked who sinned that a certain man was born blind; the man or his parents.
- Jesus responds that the man was born blind so that He might display His power.
- Jesus put mud in the man's eyes and told him to wash his face in the pool. When he did this, his sight was restored.
- This was seen as an overwhelming miracle because this man was like thise since birth which apparently gives the miracle itself more credit in their eyes.
- Of course this healing took place on the Sabbath.
- The Pharisees didn't believe he was the same man who was blind, but half did believe in Jesus after this miracle and half did not. This caused division among them.
- They even asked the man's parents if he was indeed their son. His parents made him answer the Pharisees because they were afraid.
- The formerly blind man didn't know if Jesus was a sinner, but he did know that he was once blind but now he could see.
- They were confused because they didn't want to believe that God had spoken to Jesus like God had spoken to Moses.
- They threw the healed man out because his thoughts on truth were mocking what they wanted to believe about Jesus.
- The man believed in Jesus
- Jesus called the Pharisees blind for not being able to see what was taking place in their midst.
Galatians 4
- Paul points out the similarities between a child and a slave becuase both are under people.
- God sent His Son born to a woman under a law, to allow us to become adopted by God.
- Because we are now God's sons, we are given His Spirit.
- Paul is rebuking them for tunring from godly principles, back to their former idolartry ways. He even says he fears that he had labored among them in vain.
- Did Paul think they weren't saved?
- Paul oringinally visited the Galatians because he was sick and they took great care of him.
- Paul again refers to them as little children.
- Paul says he is anguish over Christ being formed in you. This anguish comes from being confused about them.
- The Galatians are desiring to be back under the Law. Why?
- Paul recounts the story of Hagar and Sarah to them. Hagar's son was born of the flesh, while Sarah's son was born from a promise by God.
- Why does Paul refer to Hagar as Arabia AND Jerusalem?
- The Jerusalem above must be referring to heaven.
- Paul tells them that they are not children of the slave but they are free.
