How Numbers relates to your baptism.

Image
By T. McDonald . | Date 14th of September 2019 Numbers is the fourth book of the Pentateuch, which in Judaism is called the Torah.   The Pentateuch/Torah consists of five books all by Moses under the influence of and inspired by G-d.   Numbers relates to your post baptism life by symbolising:   a journey with G-d and the trust it requires; and grumbling to G-d. Numbers symbolises how a journey with Jesus requires trust.   After leaving Egypt, the Israelites stayed at mount Sinai for a year.   At the end of this year, a census is conducted and instructions of how the tribes where to be arranged around the tabernacle given.   The tabernacle was to be at the centre with the twelve tribes around the Levites and the priests.   This is a key point: G-d is to be at the centre.   This raises some questions, is G-d at the centre of your life; do you trust Jesus?   Do you wish you had never started this journey with Jesus or are you feeling optimistic about the future?   Getting

The Bill Tutte memorial was the location of the first stage of the two part walk of witness. The service started at 10:45am with a reading and some singing in glorious sunshine. As I sat listening to the singing, I could not help noticing the variety of people attending the event from young to old. Furthermore, the vibe of the crowd was very friendly considering the large size of it; it was not intimidating in the least. Immediately after the singing, we walked down the main road then to the guineas to the next location. As we walked, a lady said to me that we should walk in silence and reflect upon the Easter message, so I did as she asked. I found it difficult, however, to imagine what it would have been
